Official Title: A Randomised Phase III Trial on Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) After Incomplete Transcatheter Arterial Embolization (TAE) or Chemoembolization (TACE) Versus Exclusive TAE or TACE for Inoperable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Study ID: NCT02323360
Brief Summary: The trial is a multicentre, prospective, randomised controlled, unblinded, parallel-group superiority trial of SBRT versus standard TAE/TACE for the curative treatment of inoperable HCC treated with a TAE/TACE incomplete cycle.
Detailed Description: In this phase III study patients with inoperable HCC single nodule no more 5 cm or 1- 3 nodules no more 3 cm in diameter after incomplete TAE or TACE, are randomized to stereotactic radiotherapy in 3 or 6 daily fractions or to a new cycle of TAE or TACE. A total of 80 patients (40 in each arm) will be recruited into the trial over a 2 years period and will be randomised on an equal basis to either SBRT or TAE/TACE. The follow-up period will be finished 1.5 years after the final patient is randomised.
