Overview

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with spontaneous rupture is a potentially fatal complication and usually has poor prognosis. In most conditions, the tumors could not be radically moved. Then minimally therapy like transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) could effectively stanch the ruptured tumor and bleeding vessels. Then TACE combined the Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor for this subtype HCC could effectively inhibit the tumor and improve the prognosis.

Description

Spontaneous rupture of HCC is a life-threatening complication. HCC rupture is considerably higher in China. The tumor size in ruptured HCC is significantly greater than that in non-ruptured HCC. In the acute phase, hemostasis is the first concern and then tumor treatment is secondary. TACE can effectively induce hemostasis. Conservative treatment is usually system therapy for unresectable ruptured HCC. Thus, we conduct this multicenter single arm study to explore the efficacy, safety of TACE combined lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor for unresectable ruptured HCC. This study focuses on the efficacy of TACE combined with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor as first-line therapy.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
