Chemoembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma or Neuroendocrine Hepatic Metastases: A Phase II Multi-Center Trial
OBJECTIVES:
- Evaluate time to progression of disease in patients with unresectable hepatocellular
carcinoma or neuroendocrine hepatic metastases undergoing chemoembolization.
- Evaluate tumor response achievable with chemoembolization in this patient population.
- Evaluate the toxicities of this treatment in these patients.
- Evaluate survival of these patients following this treatment.
- Evaluate extrahepatic patterns of failure following chemoembolization, to determine
whether intrahepatic progression may be forestalled and survival affected in these
patients.
- Validate a consistent method of performing chemoembolization in a multicenter setting.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease (hepatocellular carcinoma vs
neuroendocrine hepatic metastases).
Patients undergo placement of a visceral arterial catheter. Patients receive doxorubicin,
mitomycin, and cisplatin as a chemoemulsion via the arterial catheter into 1 hepatic lobe
only. Immediately following delivery of the chemoemulsion, particulate embolization is
performed. The opposite lobe, if involved, is treated within 3-5 weeks of treatment of the
initial lobe.
In the absence of unacceptable toxicity, each involved lobe is treated separately a second
time, in the same sequence, beginning 8 weeks after the last lobular chemoembolization.
After completion of all protocol therapy, retreatment on study of either lobe is allowed for
regrowth, recurrence, or new disease, provided at least 3 months have elapsed since the
initial treatment of that lobe.
Patients are followed for 5 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-42 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
Interventional
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Time to Progression
Time to progression was defined as time from embolization to documented disease progression. Patients without documented progression were censored at the time of the last documented disease evaluation or of the last treatment ended, whichever was more recent.Disease progression was defined as significant increase in size of lesions or appearance of new metastatic lesions. Specifically, 1) >=25% increase in the area of any malignant lesions greater than 2 cm² or in the sum of the products of the individual lesions in a given organ site; 2)>=50% increase in the size of the product of diameters if only one lesion is available for measurement and was less than or equal to 2 cm² in size at the initiation of therapy; 3)>=25% increase in the sum of the liver measurements below the costal margins and xyphoid; 4)Appearance of new malignant lesions
Assessed every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 year.
