Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess local recurrence-free survival during a 1 year follow-up after PA procedure. Local recurrence is defined as emergence of irregular areas enhanced at arterial phase followed by washout at portal phase observed next to the ablation zone. Justification of 1-yr follow-up period: HCC recurrence is usually divided in the literature as time-related recurrence: “early” within the two years following the ablation and “late” after two years (reference: Imamura H, et al. Risk factors contributing to early and late phase intrahepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy. Journal of hepatology 2003;38:200-207). Early relapse is usually related to tumour features whereas late relapse is related to de novo carcinogenesis. ;Secondary Objective: -To assess the changes of tumorous and non-tumorous perfusion parameters observed with MRI after of neoadjuvant treatment, and before the PA procedure -To assess the Per nodule rates of early response (one month) after a single procedure of PA -To assess the incidences of intra segmental/ extra segmental distant recurrence -To assess the overall survival at 1 and 2 years following PA procedure -To assess the compliance to neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments -To assess the tolerance of lenvatinib in the setting of neo- and adjuvant therapy to PA ;Primary end point(s): Local recurrence-free survival during a 1-year follow-up after lenvatinib neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy and PA procedure (see definition above). Recurrence rates (whether local or distant) will be assessed using imaging techniques as recommended by international guidelines (every 3-months US and CT/MRI during one year). Patients who will meet primary endpoint will be alive 1 year after PA procedure without evidence of local recurrence on 3-months MRI evaluations. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 year after PA procedure without evidence of local recurrence on 3-months MRI evaluations.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Changes of tumorous and non-tumorous perfusion parameters observed with MRI after one month of neoadjuvant treatments - Per nodule rates of early response (one month) after a single procedure of PA - Incidences of intra segmental/ extra segmental distant recurrence - Assessment of overall survival at 1 and 2 years following PA procedure: patients will meet this endpoint if they are alive with or without HCC recurrence 1 year, and 2 years after PA procedure. Causes and date of death will be specified when applicable during this timeframe. - Assessment of tolerance of lenvatinib: adverse events related will be monitored according to manufacturer guidelines and recommendation. - Compliance to neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments - Frequency of SAEs and discontinuations due to AEs ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 and 2 years following PA procedure
