Phase II Trial of Sorafenib Combined With Doxorubicin Eluting Bead-Transarterial Chemoembolization (LC Bead-TACE) for Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating sorafenib and LC Bead-TACE for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hepatoma. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will combine two therapies to treat patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma; sorafenib, and drug eluting beads delivered intra-arterially. The purpose of the study is to establish the safety and the effectiveness of the combination therapy. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of the two therapies will not result in greater toxicities to patients than that expected for either therapy given alone.
