A Phase 1 interventional study of Transarterial chemoembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Bilirubinemia, sponsored by University of Minnesota. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-03-21.
Sponsored by University of Minnesota · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of selective transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the setting of an elevated total bilirubin, but relatively normal direct bilirubin.
3,648 studies on the registry are indexed under Carcinoma, Hepatocellular; 1,061 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 5 is below the median of 54 across 2,618 interventional studies indexed under Carcinoma, Hepatocellular.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Transarterial chemoembolization
Combination Product: Transarterial chemoembolization
Delivery of lipiodol, chemotherapy (Deoxyrubicin), and particles (embosphere particles) to the arteries feeding hepatocellular carcinoma. While both chemotherapy and particles are delivered this is a single procedure in which the chemotherapy is delivered followed immediately by particles.
