NCT02753881

Brief Summary

Patients with primary and secondary liver cancer may participate in this study. The purpose is to perform an analysis of the effects of doxorubicin and its metabolite doxorubicinol on the body (doxorubicin pharmacokinetics ) after conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE). cTACE is a procedure in which chemotherapy drugs are injected, followed by an injection of small beads to block the tumor-feeding arteries. Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the cTACE procedure. This study will examine doxorubicin pharmacokinetics in patients who: 1) receive whole liver cTACE; and 2) receive super-selective CTACE (i.e., delivered in close proximity to the tumor).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
