Trial summary

In this study, we explored and validated the predictive value of the longitudinal monitoring model of urinary proteomics for postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and the predictive value of minimal residual disease (MRD) status, verified whether it is earlier than the recurrence suggested by imaging… Read more about this study

About this study

In this study, we explored and validated the predictive value of the longitudinal monitoring model of urinary proteomics for postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and the predictive value of minimal residual disease (MRD) status, verified whether it is earlier than the recurrence suggested by imaging tests, and initially explored its clinical feasibility in guiding the adjuvant treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in the postoperative period, so as to provide a new idea for the strategy of early intervention in the postoperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Urine proteomicsDiagnostic test

    Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma amenable to radical resection were included according to the inclusion exclusion criteria, and preoperative urine and postoperative urine from consecutive patients were collected at the marker time (before receiving postoperative adjuvant therapy after radical surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma) and at the longitudinal time (at the time point of 3 months after radical surgery), and the different samples were preprocessed, followed by mass spectrometry-based urinary proteomics to detect the differences in urinary proteins, and the data were recorded to compare the differences.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2-year relapse-free survival

    Measured: 2-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

2-year relapse-free survival (time frame: 2-year). 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 6 Mar 2025.
