NCT04386772

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the differences of safety and liver hypertrophy between portal vein embolization (PVE) using coils plus tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (TAGM) and multiple coils in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) or with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • PVE related morbidity

    The rate of major and minor PVE-related complications

    During and 2 weeks after PVE procedure

  • Hypertrophy degree of standardized FLR

    The difference of standardized FLR ratios before and 2 weeks after PVE

    2 weeks after PVE procedure

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Hepatectomy completion rate

    The end of hepatectomy procedure

  • Liver failure rate after major hepatectomy

    3 months after hepatectomy

  • Immunohistochemical stainings of liver parenchyma

    During (sampling) and immediately after hepatectomy (IHC examination)

Study Arms (2)

PVE with coils plus TAGM

EXPERIMENTAL

PVE with coils proximally plus TAGM distally and subsequent major hepatectomy

Procedure: PVE with coils plus TAGM

PVE with multiple coils

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PVE with multiple coils and subsequent major hepatectomy

Procedure: PVE with multiple coils

Interventions

PVE with TAGM distally and coils proximally and subsequent scheduled major hepatectomy. Sequential transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and PVE for patients with HCC. Selective biliary drainage on future liver remnant (FLR) side for patients with pCCA when obstructive jaundice is present.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female patients \> 18 years and ≤ 70 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of pCCA or HCC (through imaging, serology, and/or histological biopsy)
  • Performance status: Karnofsky score ≥ 70
  • Candidates for right portal vein embolization for potential major hepatectomy with curative intent. Volumetric indication for PVE is less than 40% of standardized FLR.
  • Selective biliary drainage on FLR side for patients with pCCA should be performed when total bilirubin level is above 85.5μmol/L or bile duct dilation of FLR presents. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization should be performed between 1 and 4 weeks before PVE for patients with HCC.
  • Criteria of liver function: Child-Pugh A-B7 level, serum total bilirubin \< 85.5μmol/L after biliary drainage in pCCA, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal value.
  • Patients who can understand this trial and have signed the informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with apparent cardiac, pulmonary, cerebral and renal dysfunction, which may affect the treatment.
  • Patients with a history of any other malignant tumor, or allergic to iodine or gelatin.
  • Subjects participating in other clinical trials.
  • Platelet count \< 80×109/L and/or moderate or severe esophageal varices.
  • ICGR15 ≥ 15% for HCC patients
  • Obstructive jaundice lasts for \>2 months before PVE for pCCA patients.
  • Tumor becomes unresectable by local progression and/or distant metastasis presents before PVE.
  • Right portal vein is occluded by tumor invasion or embolus before PVE.
  • Free portal vein pressure \>20 mmHg or porto-hepatic vein fistula at the beginning of PVE procedure.
