Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the baseline variability of a panel of tissue (tumor and adjacent) and blood-based biomarkers obtained from participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The primary hypothesis is that the upper bound of the 80% Confidence Interval of log beta-catenin protein or messenger RNA (mRNA) expression from one core needle biopsy (CNB) equivalent is =\< 0.65.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of HCC tumor.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MRI

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants undergo volumetric \& diffusion weighted (DW) MRI. Participants are scanned twice, with an intervening fifteen minute walk between the scans.

Blood Samples

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Blood is collected from participants during screening Visit 1 - 24.5 ml, and follow up Visit 4 - 5.5 ml.

Pathology

Pathology samples from surgical resection of HCC tumor and adjacent liver.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pathology

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants who are undergoing surgical resection of HCC per their standard of care treatment, will submit tumor samples for biomarker analysis.

Blood Samples

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Blood is collected from participants during screening Visit 1 - 24.5 ml. During Visit 3, blood samples totaling 22 ml, are collected at least 6-18 hours post-resection, and every other day up to a week until discharge. At follow up Visit 4, 5.5 ml of blood is collected.

Imaging/Pathology

MRI of HCC tumor, followed by pathology samples from surgical resection of HCC tumor and adjacent liver.
