Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this multicenter registry is to gather the safety, efficacy and survival data in advanced HCC patients treated with HepaSphere in China in order to evaluate the application of HepaSphere deTACE in treating advanced HCC patients

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Age 18 or older

2. Patient has signed informed consent

3. Patient must have a diagnosis of hepatocellular cancer by at least one of the following method:

   1. Histological confirmation

   2. Classic imaging characteristics of HCC: Early enhancement (Arterial hypervascularity) and Venous or Delayed phase washout in multidetector contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan / dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging.

      • Either CT/ MRI shows at least one solid liver lesion ≥ 2 cm with the above described imaging characteristics of HCC.
      • In case of liver lesion between 1 and 2 cm, both CT and MRI imaging have to be performed in order to confirm the imaging characteristics of HCC.

4. At time of study entry.

   1. Patients not suitable for ablation due to lesion location may be enrolled
   2. Patients with HCC recurrence but not suitable for resection or ablation maybe enrolled

5. Patient MUST be with BCLC stage C and meet the following criteria:

   • Stage Child-Pugh A or B AND
   • Performance status ECOG ≤ 2 WITH Vascular Invasion or WITHOUT Vascular invasion

2. Previous treatment of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)
3. Patients with current or history of any other cancer except non-melanomatous skin cancer
4. Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or premenopausal and not using an effective method of contraceptive
5. Performance status ECOG > 2
6. Child-Pugh Class C
7. Occlusive tumor thrombus to the main portal trunk
8. Active gastrointestinal bleeding
9. Evidence of uncorrectable bleeding diathesis
10. Extra-Hepatic spread of the HCC
