A Study to See if we Can Predict How Your Liver Tumor or Liver Metastases Will Respond to Trans-Arterial Embolization (TAE)
- Conditions
- Liver CancerLiver Metastases
- Registration Number
- NCT02772575
- Lead Sponsor
- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if certain genes the tumor can help predict how the tumor will respond to Trans-Arterial Embolization (TAE). A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA; DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material in humans. Identifying a gene that can predict how liver tumors will respond to TAE will also help to determine if adjuvant therapy will be needed after TAE.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method response within 4 weeks Response will be categorized using standard mRECIST criteria. Tumor response will be catalogued as follows:
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of any intratumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions.
Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions.
Stable Disease (SD): Any cases that do not qualify for either partial response or progressive disease. Progressive Disease (PD): An increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the of viable (enhancing) target lesions recorded since treatment started.
