Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bridge to Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT) - Surefire Precision vs Endhole Embolization With DEBTACE (NCT NCT03170869)

NCT ID: NCT03170869

Last Updated: 2022-01-12

Results Overview

For the outcome of local recurrence rate (LRR) we will test the null hypothesis of no difference in the proportion of patients with local recurrence by catheter type using a Fisher's exact test.

DEB-TACE Procedure With Surefire Precision Infusion System
The study duration for each patient is 24 months and includes a baseline visit, procedure visit and follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and every 3 months until liver transplant or death. The following evaluations/activities will be performed at baseline: Informed consent, history, physical exam, data collection of CT/ MRI within 1 month of the visit date, data collection of lab values and quality of life questionnaire. The treatment visit includes the DEB-TACE procedure with the Surefire Precision Infusion System. After the procedure, a Cone Beam CT of the liver will be performed to determine distribution and density of the beads in the tumor and adverse events monitoring. The following evaluations / activities will be performed during the follow-up period: physical exam, data collection of contrast enhanced CT/MRI to evaluate tumor response, data collection of lab values, adverse event monitoring and quality of life questionnaire.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Zero participants analyzed as the study was terminated prior to data for outcome measures to be assessed. No data was collected or analyzed for this outcome measure.

For the outcome of local recurrence rate (LRR) we will test the null hypothesis of no difference in the proportion of patients with local recurrence by catheter type using a Fisher's exact test.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Zero participants analyzed as the study was terminated prior to data for outcome measures to be assessed. No data was collected or analyzed for this outcome measure.

For the outcome of tumor response measured as the change in enhancing tumor size (pretreatment - post treatment) we will evaluate changes at 1 month and 6 month separately.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 3 months through 24 months

Population: Zero participants analyzed as the study was terminated. No data was collected or analyzed for this outcome measure.

For the outcome of time to progression, we will quantify the number of weeks from treatment until tumor progression.
