Comparison of SBRTand Repeat TACE for HCC

Not Applicable
Conditions
HepatoCellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Radiation: SBRT
Registration Number
NCT03326375
Lead Sponsor
Gangneung Asan Hospital
Brief Summary

Comparison of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and repeated transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)as a Local Salvage Treatment after first incomplete TACE

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of SBRT after first incomplete TACE.

In HCC patients with incomplete TACE response, repeated TACE did not showed good response. In this case, SBRT could have better results than TACE.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Local tumor control (efficacy fo SBRT)1 year

To evaluate the effect of SBRT. Local tumor control is defined as the disappearance of any intraarterial enhancement in all target lesions.

Local tumor control will be measured on triphasic Computerized Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Patient will be asked to visit their study doctor for follow-up exams and imaging (CT or MRI) every 3 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
overall survival2 year

survival from SBRT to death

progression free-survival2 year

survival from SBRT to recurrence

Radiation induced liver disease (RILD)1 year

Liver toxicities were evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (CTCAE).

RILD was defined as elevated liver transaminases more than five times the upper normal limit or a worsening of Child-Pugh (CP) score by 2 within 3 months after SBRT.
