Stopped: This is a sub-study of another one.

China0Started 2018-10-01

Plain-language summary

This is a multicentri prospective cohort study to investigate the safety and efficacy of external beam radiation (RT) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and lenvatinib vs TACE and lenvatinib in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).

Inclusion criteria

. age 18-75 years;
. histologically or cytologically or clinically confirmed diagnosis of HCC;
. presenting with PVTT and at least one measurable intrahepatic lesion on the basis of modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST); an intrahepatic lesion consisting of a single tumor (≤ 10.0 cm) or multiple tumors (≤ 3 foci) with the tumor burden \< 50%;
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1;
. Child-Pugh class A or B;
. life expectancy of at least 3 months;
. satisfactory blood, liver, and kidney function parameters. The acceptable blood, liver, and kidney parameters were (1) neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; (2) platelet count ≥ 60 × 109/L; (3) hemoglobin concentration ≥ 90 g/L; (4) serum albumin concentration ≥ 30 g/L; (5) bilirubin ≤ 50 μmol/L; (6) AST and ALT \< 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and alkaline phosphatase \< 4 × ULN; (7) extended prothrombin time \< 6 seconds of ULN; and (8) serum creatinine \< 1.5 × ULN.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
