NCT02695628

Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies how well 18F-fluoromisonidazole (\[18F\]FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works after transcatheter arterial embolization in imaging tumors in patients with liver cancer. Transcatheter arterial embolization blocks blood flow to tumor cells by inserting tiny foreign particles into an artery near the tumor. \[18F\]FMISO is a type of radioimaging agent that binds to large molecules in tumor cells that have a low level of oxygen, and the radiation given off by \[18F\]FMISO is picked up by a PET scan and this may help researchers learn whether changes occur in the tumors after treatment, which can help decide how well the treatment worked earlier than is currently possible

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-treatment Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) in Tumor and Normal Tissue

    All participants undergo transcatheter arterial embolization (TACE) and 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans were conducted. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were determined at the tumor lesion and in normal tissue, represented by liver. The variability of 18F-FMISO uptake in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors post-TACE was assessed as the ratio of the SUVmax as observed in the tumor vs liver (tumor-to-liver ratio, TLR). The outcome is reported as the mean TLR, with standard deviation.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) at Lesion Sites With and Without Tumor Recurrence

    Up to 6 months

  • Adverse Events Related to 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO)

    18 hours

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (18F-fluoromisonidazole, PET/CT, embolization)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo transcatheter arterial embolization. Patients also receive 18F-fluoromisonidazole IV and undergo PET/CT scans 4 weeks prior to embolization treatment and in the 20 hours following completion of treatment.
