Measure
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Radiation Therapy Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): SBRT will be delivered in five total fractions, with at a minimum of one day between any two treatments. The entire treatment must be delivered within 15 total days.
Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
Procedure/Surgery - Chemoembolization Drug: Doxorubin Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization (TACE): First day will be administered and a second TACE will be administered after 4 weeks and subsequently if imaging is showing disease progression. Following each TACE procedure all patients will remain in hospital for observation Doxorubin: This procedure will be completed with 2 vials of drug eluting beads each loaded with 50 mg of Doxorubin.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome.

To compare whether or not there was disease present in treated lesions in both the SBRT and TACE arms in patients eligible for liver transplant at 1 year post treatment.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At each treatment, 2 weeks post treatment, 2 months post treatment, 5 months post treatment, every 3 months until 24 months post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome

To compare treatment related adverse events between both arms, SBRT and TACE.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks post treatment, 2 months post treatment, 5 months post treatment, every 3 months until 24 months post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome.

To compare the number of further interventions between the SBRT and TACE arms.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Review of pathology report after liver transplant

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome.

Complete pathologic response of lesions will be analyzed on the explant liver specimen after liver transplant. The pathology note will be consulted.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 2 months post-treatment, 5 months post-treatment, every 3 months thereafter until 2 years post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome

Response of treated lesions will be analyzed at protocol specified time frames. The response rate between both treatment arms will be compared.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, during treatment, 2 months post-treatment, 5 months post-treatment, every 3 months until 24 months post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome.

A 45-item self-report instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with hepatobiliary cancers and is one of the most widely-used instruments in this clinical area. The FACT-Hep consists of the 27-item FACT-G, assesses HRQL, and the 18-item Hepatobiliary Subscale (HS), assesses disease-specific issues such as pain, appetite, and cramping. The FACT-G evaluates physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being. Sections have a 7-day reference period and are scored from 0-4 ("not at all" to "very much"), with higher scores indicating better HRQL. Score ranges are 0-28 for physical well-being, 0-28 for social/family well-being, 0-24 for emotional well-being, 0-28 for functional well-being, and 0-72 for the HS. All subscale scores from the FACT-G and HS can be summed together to create a total FACT-Hep score, with a possible range of 0-180. The FACT-Hep takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, during treatment, 2 months post-treatment, 5 months post-treatment, every 3 months until 24 months post treatment

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome

Overall survival will be compared in both arms at protocol specified time frames.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Disease status to be captured 90 days post-transplantation (+/- 2 weeks)

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome

Compare the morbidity at 90 days post transplant between both arms.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Survival status to be captured 90 days post-transplantation (+/- 2 weeks)

Population: Data has not been collected and therefore not analyzed for this outcome.

Will assess the mortality of post-transplant patients between the two arms.
