Safety of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in the Setting of an Elevated Bilirubin

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Hepatocellular Carcinoma; Bilirubinemia

• Registration Number: NCT03259581
• Lead Sponsor: University of Minnesota

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of selective transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the setting of an elevated total bilirubin, but relatively normal direct bilirubin.
