What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional · Phase 3

  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Prior interventional therapy via hepatic artery or radiotherapy treatment for HCC
  • Radiation pneumonitis has been seen in patients receiving doses to the lungs greater than 30 Gy in a single treatment or greater than 50Gy in multiple treatment
  • Receive any investigational therapy or anti-tumor therapy within 30 days prior to study enrollment

Other illness

  • Presence of extra-hepatic metastases or additional malignancies aside from HCC
  • Severe pulmonary insufficiency (FEV1/FVC\<50% or FEV1/predicting value\<50% or MVV\<50L/min)
  • Clinical manifestations of decompensated cirrhosis (Grade2/3 of ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, etc. according to EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines)
  • Bilobar HCC disease
  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) or Hepatic arterioportal fistula

Lab values

  • Patients who are allergic to contrast agents or have renal insufficiency (Serum creatinine\>2mg/ml or Creatinine clearance\<30mL/min) and are not suitable for injection of contrast agents
  • AST and ALT \>5 times upper limit of normal
  • uncorrectable coagulation dysfunction and severe hemogram abnormality \[Prothrombin time (PT)\>6 seconds above control or PT-International normalized ratio (INR)\>2.5, WBC\<3.0x109/L, PLT\<50x109/L\]
  • Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy shows any deposition to the gastrointestinal tract that may not be corrected by angiographic techniques

Other

  • Patients with hepatic artery malformation and unable to intubate hepatic artery
  • HCC invading biliary tract or causing biliary obstruction
  • Infiltrative HCC tumor type
  • Any presence of portal vein or hepatic veins or artery invasion
  • Occlusion of portal vein completely with less collateral vessels
  • Patients during pregnancy or lactation
  • The absorbed dose of lung may exceed 30Gy in preoperative evaluation
  • Any other reason in which the investigator believes that the patient is unsuitable to participate in this trial

Who the study is looking for

  • ≥18 and ≤80 age and provided study consent
  • Patients diagnosed with HCC and clinically evaluated as inoperable (as per local practice) or who refuse operation (ablation, hepatectomy and liver transplantation)
  • At least one well defined HCC tumor measurable by mRECIST in contrast-enhanced MRI
  • China liver cancer staging (CNLC) stage Ib\~IIb
  • Child-Pugh ≤ B7
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1
  • Tumor burden ≤50% of the total liver volume

Age in the registry: 18 years to 80 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
