Trial summary

Percutaneous thermoablation in an effective local curative treatment in patients with cirrhosis and HCC smaller than 3 cm in diameter (BCLC 0-A). Around 30% of HCC patients referred for percutaneous ablation were regarded as non-feasible because of a difficult-at risk location or undetectable nodules. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Small and Steatotic Hepatocellular Carcinoma : a Distinctive Radiological Variant With Improved Outcome After Percutenous Ablation

Percutaneous thermoablation in an effective local curative treatment in patients with cirrhosis and HCC smaller than 3 cm in diameter (BCLC 0-A).

Around 30% of HCC patients referred for percutaneous ablation were regarded as non-feasible because of a difficult-at risk location or undetectable nodules.

Read more

We used percutaneous thermoablation to treat HCC on high risk locations (subcapsular or liver dome) with or without lipiodol marked (for undetectable HCC).

No clinical study has been published so far to compare percutaneous thermoablation of HCC on liver dome CT guided with artificial pneumothorax and lipiodol marked, and percutaneous thermoablation of HCC guided by ultrasonography (non subcapsular, distent form diaphragm).

This retrospective study evaluate the overall survival, the local tumor progression or distant liver progression after percutaneous ablation for HCC and determine prognostic factors.

Read the detailed description

We performed 412 percutaneous thermoablations on 238 patients for HCC between January 2015 and November 2019.

All thermoablation procedures were performed percutaneously under ultrasound or CT guidance, with ou without artificial pneumothorax or ascites, with ou without lipiodol marked.

Purposes:

  • Tumor response upon mRECIST criteria
  • Progression-free survival
  • Overall survival
  • Local tumor progression
  • Distent liver progression
  • Prognostic factors

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HCC, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2020. 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. 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?

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?

Thermal ablations (time frame: 1 day). 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 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
