About this trial

This is an interventional educational/counseling/training trial for Liver Neoplasms focused on measuring hepatocellular, carcinoma, liver, cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Hospital in- or out-patients Either sex Aged 18-75 years With hepatocellular carcinoma, verified by histology/cytology, which is not amenable to curative treatment or transplantation. Patients must have measurable disease, and be classifiable as to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0, as described in Llovet JM et al. Hepatology 1999;29:62-67. Exclusion Criteria: Patients treated with chemotherapy or other anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks before visit 1 Patients with another primary tumor, except for basocellular carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix, within the last 2 years A history of renal stone(s) A life expectancy of < 3 months World Health Organization (WHO) performance status 3 or 4 Okuda stage III. Patients with hypercalcemia, or other clinically important laboratory abnormalities Patients with previous/current calcium metabolic disease, taking calcium-lowering therapy, or medication known to affect systemic calcium metabolism are also excluded. All patients must give their signed informed consent to join the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall survival, defined as the time from start of treatment to death

Secondary Outcome Measures

HCC-specific survival from start of treatment
Time to response from start of treatment (complete or partial response)
Proportion of patients who achieve partial/complete response
Time to progression measured from start of treatment
Duration of complete response in patients showing a complete response, measured from the first date when absence of disease was recorded until the first date of disease progression was recorded
Duration of partial response in patients showing partial response, measured from first date when partial response was recorded until the first date at which disease progression was observed
Duration of stable disease measured from start of treatment until the first date where either progression or partial/complete response was observed
Change(s) in tumour size
Change in tumour marker
Number of days of hospitalisation (in-patient care)
Quality of life
Adverse events
Change in laboratory values
Dose of seocalcitol (seocalcitol treated patients)
