AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) at a specific stage range, need a procedure called TACE (where medicine is delivered directly to the tumor through blood vessels), and are not able to have or have chosen not to have surgery, a liver transplant, or tumor ablation
- Your liver is functioning at a reasonably healthy level (rated Child-Pugh A or B — confirm with trial site)
- You are able to carry out basic daily activities, or have only mild limitations (rated 0–2 on a standard activity scale — confirm with trial site)
- You have at least one measurable tumor that has not previously been treated with embolization, and the largest tumor measures 10cm or less
- You are willing to take part and have signed a consent form agreeing to join the trial
Who may not be able to join:
- Your target tumor(s) have already been treated with embolization, or you will need ablation or radiation alongside or after the TACE treatment
- Your liver cancer has spread widely throughout the liver or to other parts of the body, and your expected survival is less than 6 months
- You have a serious whole-body infection or multiple organ failure
- Your liver or kidneys are severely damaged (confirm with trial site for specific test values)
- You have very low levels of white blood cells, platelets, or red blood cells that cannot be treated or corrected (confirm with trial site for specific values)
- You have a blood clotting problem that cannot be corrected (confirm with trial site)
- You have a serious active infection with a very high white blood cell count (confirm with trial site)
- The main blood vessel supplying your liver (portal vein) is completely blocked by the tumor with no alternative blood flow routes
- There is a risk of the treatment accidentally blocking blood flow in the wrong area due to an abnormal connection between blood vessels that has not been corrected
- Your blood vessel structure makes it difficult or impossible to safely place the required tube (catheter) or deliver the treatment
- You have a known allergy to iodine-based dyes used in scans, certain embolic materials (polyvinyl alcohol), or a type of chemotherapy drug called anthracyclines
- You are pregnant or currently breastfeeding
- You are already taking part in another clinical trial
- The trial doctors have decided for other reasons that participation would not be appropriate for you
