1. Patient, male or female =18 years old, with a life expectancy of minimum 6 months
2. Patient having read the information and having provided her/his consent to participate
3. Patient with confirmed diagnosis of HCC as stated below
Cirrhotic patient: Clinical diagnosis by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria
Non-cirrhotic patient: histological confirmation is mandatory
4. Patient with HCC not suitable for curative therapies such as resection, liver transplantation or local ablative therapy (radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation) or patient rejecting the above treatments
5. Patient with multi-nodular or single nodular tumor over 5 cm (in the case of single nodule less than 5cm, if curative treatment is contra-indicated or the patient rejects curative treatment)
6. Patient with at least one target lesion defined as an untreated uni-dimensional measurable lesion according to mRECIST by CT-scan or MRI examination
7. Patient with ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
8. Patient with Child-Pugh classification from A to B7 as acceptable maximum
9. Patient with proper blood, liver, renal and heart functions: testing results should be obtained within 14 days prior to cTACE:
a. white blood cell number > 3,000/mm3
b. platelet number = 5 x 104/mm3
c. hemoglobin > 8.0 g/dL
d. serum total bilirubin = 3.0 mg/dL
e. AST, ALT = 5 times of upper limits of normal (ULN)
f. estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) >30 mL/min/1.73m²
g. left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)=50% as measured by 2-D echocardiogram
10. Patient who are willing to comply with visits/procedures required by protocol
1. Patient with ECOG performance status = 2,
2. Patient with Child-Pugh class B8 and above
3. Patient with diffuse HCC or presence of biliary invasion on previous CT/MRI examination available at screening or extra-hepatic spread
4. Patient with tumor burden involving more than 50% of the liver according to investigator judgement
5. Patient with macroscopic vascular invasion of the main portal vein (right, left or common trunk) or hepatic vein or vena cava detected by the CT or MRI examination
6. Patient with target lesions that have previously undergone local treatment, including resection, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA), percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) or cTACE/ trans-arterial embolization (TAE), prior treatments on non-target lesions are acceptable
7. Patients having received anthracyclines or radiotherapy or a kinase inhibitor or other systemic treatment for HCC
8. Patient with liver tumor rupture
9. Patient with history of biliary tract repair or endoscopic treatment of the biliary tract potentially compromising the treatment
10. Patient with clinically important refractory ascites or pleural effusion potentially compromising the treatment
11. Patient with any contraindications for hepatic embolization procedures
· Known hepatofugal blood flow
· Severe arterio-portal or arterio-venous shunts
· Impaired clotting test (platelet count < 5 x 104/mm3,
· Prothrombin Time- International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) > 2.0)
Testing results should be obtained within 14 days prior to cTACE.
12. Patient with known contra-indication to the use or with known sensitivity to Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid, to its ingredients or to drugs from a similar pharmaceutical class, or with known contraindication(s) to the use or known hypersensitivity to chemotherapeutic agent
13. Patient currently treated with beta-blockers and/or metformin who cannot stop their treatment 2 days prior to cTACE
14. Patient treated with Interleukin II in the past 30 days
15. Patient with contrast media allergy contraindicating angiography
16. Pregnant or breast-feeding female patient, nursing or childbearing age female patient (a female patient of childbearing potential or with amenorrhea for less than 12 months must have a negative pregnancy test at trial entry) or male patient who are sexually active without medically acceptable contraception
17. Patient related to the Investigator or any other trial staff or relative directly involved in the trial conduct
18. Patient having received any investigational medicinal product within 30 days prior to trial entry
19. Patient with anticipated, current or past condition (medical, psychological, social or geographical) that would compromise the patient’s safety or her/his ability to participate to the trial
20. Patient previously screened in this trial
21. Patient unlikely to comply with the protocol, e.g. uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits and unlikelihood of completing the trial
