Trial summary

Liver abscess is a rare but serious complication of hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE, with an incidence of less than 1% reported in previous literature. Studies have shown that history of biliary tract disease, tumor size, embolization materials and embolization endpoint selection may be related to the occurrence… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prediction and Prognostic Analysis of Liver Abscess Formation After Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma : a Retrospective Multicenter Nested Case-control Study (CHANCE 2407)

Liver abscess is a rare but serious complication of hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE, with an incidence of less than 1% reported in previous literature. Studies have shown that history of biliary tract disease, tumor size, embolization materials and embolization endpoint selection may be related to the occurrence of abscess. In recent years, with the wide application of targeted and immune drugs, there have been reports of multiple cases of liver abscess after single target immunotherapy for liver cancer, and there have also been studies showing that TACE combined with targeted immunotherapy can significantly increase the degree of liquefaction necrosis and increase the risk of liver abscess. However, these studies are single-center reports with small sample size and low level of evidence. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to explore the risk factors of liver abscess after TACE and build a prediction model by using multi-center and large sample data. The formation of liver abscess after TACE means a large range of tissue liquefaction necrosis. There are reports of high incidence of early recurrence and metastasis of liquefaction necrosis. Some studies also show that tumor necrosis is more complete when liver abscess is combined with complete remission. In previous studies, ORR in patients with liver cancer complicated with liver abscess ranged from 18.75%-100%, with significant differences in reports from different centers. The effect of specific abscess formation on TACE efficacy of liver cancer remains to be determined. Therefore, the second research focus of this project is to explore the effect of liver abscess formation after TACE on prognosis of liver cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Whether combined targeted therapy was a risk factor for liver abscess formation after TACE.

    The targeted treatment of patients with and without liver abscess after TACE was collected, and conclusion was drawn by univariate and multivariate analysis.

    Measured: one year

  2. Whether combined immunotherapy was a risk factor for liver abscess formation after TACE.

    The immunotherapy of patients with and without liver abscess after TACE was collected, and conclusion was drawn by univariate and multivariate analysis.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Survival time of patients with liver abscess formation after TACE.

    Patients with liver abscess formation after TACE were followed up regularly to determine their survival status.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of TACE and HCC - Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Shengjing Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhihui Chang (+86-18940258437, Changzh@sj-hospital.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Whether combined targeted therapy was a risk factor for liver abscess formation after TACE. (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jul 2024.
