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 test the safety of Bumetanide , at different doses to find out what effects, if any, it has on people who undergo tumor TAE as part of their regular care. Bumetanide is a commonly used medication to reduce the amount of water in the body.

Study Groups

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

Bumetanide

Three escalating doses of bumetanide will be used: 0.01 mg/kg (level 1), 0.02 mg/kg (level 2) and 0.04 mg/kg (level 3) in a standard 3+3 design. Starting with level 1, three patients will first be enrolled at each level.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hepatic artery embolization (HAE)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The intervention being studied is HAE for the treatment of HCC in combination with Bumetanide. HAE is a standard of care procedure.

Bumetanide

Intervention Type DRUG

Intra-arterial (IA) injection of 0.01mg/kg of Bumetanide in the first cohort, 0.02 mg/kg in the second cohort and 0.04 mg/kg of IA Bumetanide in the final cohort patients during standard HAE until stasis is evident.
