About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Treatment by Intra-arterial Injection of Lipiodol-labeled Iodine-131 in Preventing Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Curative Treatment

RATIONALE: Iodine I 131 ethiodized oil may help prevent or delay the recurrence of cancer. It is not yet known whether iodine I 131 ethiodized oil is more effective than non-radiolabeled ethiodized oil in preventing recurrent cancer in patients who have undergone treatment for liver cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying iodine I 131 ethiodized oil to see how well it works compared with non-radiolabeled ethiodized oil in preventing recurrent cancer in patients who have undergone treatment for liver cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine whether treatment with adjuvant intra-arterial iodine I 131 ethiodized oil reduces the percentage of tumor recurrence in patients with curatively treated hepatocellular carcinoma.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the overall and recurrence-free survival of these patients.
  • Evaluate the deterioration of liver function in these patients.
  • Evaluate the toxicity of intra-arterial iodine I 131 ethiodized oil in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive an intra-arterial infusion of iodine I 131 ethiodized oil.
  • Arm II: Patients receive an intra-arterial infusion of unlabeled ethiodized oil.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ethiodized oil and iodine I 131 ethiodized oil in people with Liver Cancer, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2011. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor recurrence at 2 years. 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 16 Aug 2011.
