Trial Outcomes & Findings for Combine TACE and Autologous Tcm Immunotherapy Versus TACE Alone for HCC With MVI After Radical Resection (NCT NCT03575806)

NCT ID: NCT03575806

Last Updated: 2020-06-11

Results Overview

Recurrence-free survival was defined as the interval (in months) between hepatectomy and diagnosis of recurrence using either intrahepatic recurrence or extrahepatic metastasis.

Participant Flow

This study was not of a randomized design, patients were recruited by their willingness to receive the Tcm transfusion as the adjuvant therapy after screening and meeting the eligibility criteria. As pathological classification with MVI was determined after 1 week postoperatively, patients consented with radical operation would be screened again.
