About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatocellular Carcinoma focused on measuring transarterial chemoembolization

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
  • Direct or conjugated bilirubin < 3 mg/dl
  • Total bilirubin > 3 mg/dl
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent
  • >18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently pregnant
  • Patients who are surgical or ablation candidates as determined by multidisciplinary hepatobiliary tumor conference.
  • Arterial anatomy which would preclude selective transarterial chemoembolization
  • Patients who have a INR or platelet count which are not correctable to <1.8 and >35,000 respectively
  • Patients with extrahepatic metastases
  • Patients with portal vein invasion

Combination Product
Intervention Name(s)
Transarterial chemoembolization
Intervention Description
Delivery of lipiodol, chemotherapy (Deoxyrubicin), and particles (embosphere particles) to the arteries feeding hepatocellular carcinoma. While both chemotherapy and particles are delivered this is a single procedure in which the chemotherapy is delivered followed immediately by particles.
