About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Randomized, Double-Blind, First-in-Human Study of T-ACE Oil by Trans-Catheter Arterial Embolization or ChemoEmbolization (TAE/TACE) in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The phase I/II, double-blind, randomized study will investigate the efficacy and safety of TACE/TAE treatment with T-ACE Oil in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with HCC that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to hospital, and TAE or TACE treatment are performed during the hospitalization period; after embolization, subjects are observed in the ward for 1 to 7 days, and evaluated by physician before being discharged. Subjects will be followed up for 7 weeks after treatment for safety and efficacy evaluation.

Phase I part:

12 evaluable subjects will be enrolled sequentially in Phase I part. The first 3 subjects will receive TAE treatment (whether or not they are contraindicated to Doxorubicin) and the following 3 subjects (4th to 6th subjects) will receive TACE treatment. The remaining subjects may receive TAE or TACE treatment. Subjects will be enrolled sequentially in Phase I. For the first six subjects in Phase I, after the subject completes TAE or TACE treatment and is followed for 2 weeks, safety and tolerability data during this period will be reviewed by the safety review committee (SRC); only approved by the SRC, the next subject may start the TAE or TACE treatment. For the 7th to 12th subjects in Phase I, after the subject completes TAE or TACE treatment and is followed until discharge from hospitalization, safety and tolerability data during this period will be reviewed by the safety review committee (SRC); only approved by the SRC, the next subject may start the TAE or TACE treatment. After data for all 12 evaluable subjects are reviewed by SRC and approval is given by the SRC, the study may proceed to Phase II part.

Phase II part:

70 evaluable subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive TAE/TACE treatment by T-ACE Oil or Lipiodol for safety and efficacy evaluation.

What participants receive

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

  • T-ACE OilDrug

    TAE/TACE treatment was performed with T-ACE Oil. The volume of T-ACE Oil injected will be 1-1.5 mL/cm based on the diameter (cm) of the treated tumor, with room for adjustment per subject's condition or Investigator's judgement. The maximum dose of T-ACE Oil is 0.25 mL/kg/day but not over 15 mL for each treatment. The maximum dose of doxorubicin for a single TACE will be based on standard practice at each site with a maximum of 50 mg. Doxorubicin will be constituted according to labeling and site procedures at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The emulsion to be injected will have a recommended v/v ratio of 2:1 to 2.5:1 (study product : saline with Doxorubicin dissolved within it). If more than the maximum dose of doxorubicin would be needed to form an emulsion with T-ACE Oil, the remaining volume administered will be study product only.

  • LipiodolDrug

    Also called Lipiodol®, Lipiodol Ultra Fluide®

    TAE/TACE treatment was performed with Lipiodol®. The volume of Lipiodol® injected will be 1-1.5 mL/cm based on the diameter (cm) of the treated tumor, with room for adjustment per subject's condition or Investigator's judgement. The maximum dose of T-ACE Oil is 0.25 mL/kg/day but not over 15 mL for each treatment. The maximum dose of doxorubicin for a single TACE will be based on standard practice at each site with a maximum of 50 mg. Doxorubicin will be constituted according to labeling and site procedures at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The emulsion to be injected will have a recommended v/v ratio of 2:1 to 2.5:1 (study product : saline with Doxorubicin dissolved within it). If more than the maximum dose of doxorubicin would be needed to form an emulsion with Lipiodol®, the remaining volume administered will be study product only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing T-ACE Oil and Lipiodol in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by T-ACE Medical Co., Ltd at 4 sites in Taiwan.

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 10 inclusion and 36 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Taiwan. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: T-ACE Medical Co., Ltd. hereby submits this formal notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to request the permanent discontinuation and withdrawal of Investigational New Drug application IND 152626.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase I part: Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: Up to 12 weeks). The study lists 85 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05435014, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 18 Aug 2026.
