About this study

Official title: Long Term Outcome of Combined Ipsilateral Liver Lobe Devascularization and Alcohol Treatment (CILDAT) of the Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Assessment of the long-term outcome of combined ipsilateral liver lobe devascularization (ILAD) and alcohol injection of the large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): single center non-randomized trial.

Read the detailed description

Assessment of the overall (OS); one year; two years and three years' survival rates; the disease free survival (DFS) and the tumor response rate in the patients undergoing Combined Ipsilateral Liver Lobe Devascularization and Alcohol Treatment (CILDAT) of the Large HCC. This is a prospective non randomized trial carried out at the Ribat University Hospital between May 2017 to April 2020.

What participants receive

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

  • Combined TreatmentProcedure or surgery

    Also called CILDAT

    This modality of palliative treatment includes initial surgical operation where arterial vascular supply of the tumor carrying liver lobe of the corresponding hepatic artery as well as the extrahepatic collateral arteries (EHCAs) feeding the large HCC (> 5 cms size) under general anesthesia. Four weeks after the operation the tumor is injeted (intralesionally and intravascularly) with absolute ethanol alcohol injections on regular weekly percutaneous sessions until the tumor become saturated and its vascularity rendered inactive.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival rate

    The percentage of patients who are still alive for three years after they started CILDAT for their large HCC.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease free survival

    Percentage of HCC patients who are alive and well (without a recurrence of their HCC) 3 years after CILDAT

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Major complications' rate

    Incidence of post CILDAT Clavien-Dindo comlicatins grade 3b or more.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Major toxicity rate

    Incidence of post CILDAT Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.03) grade

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Tumor response rate

    Mean percentage reduction in the sizes of the patients' tumors

    Measured: 3 years
