Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the whether Lipiodol can be used as an imaging biomarker, predicting tumor response to therapy in patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. Lipiodol-based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been an accepted standard of care procedure for unresectable liver lesions for several decades. Lipiodol is used as a carrier for chemotherapy agents and also as an occlusion agent. In TACE procedures, Lipiodol is mixed with the chemotherapy agent(s) and delivered to the tumor via the hepatic artery, causing necrosis of the targeted tumor(s). Response to therapy will be evaluated every 1, 3 and 6 months by clinic visits, MRI/CT/PET scans and blood tests (to include assessment of liver function and tumor markers).

Tumor Response by European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Criteria

Lipiodol deposition in the tumor will be measured using non contrast CT. The images from the non contrast CT will also be correlated with EASL response separately using contrast CT, MRI and PET imaging. Response rates taken at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days. Per EASL response: Complete Response (CR): complete disappearance of enhancing tissue in target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least 50% decrease in area of enhancing tissue in target lesions. Overall Response: CR+PR

Time frame: 6 months

Population: 18 HCC and 14 non-HCC subjects had complete data for analysis at 30day f/u, 11 HCC and 7 non-HCC at 90 day f/u, and 11 HCC and 5 non-HCC at 180 day f/u.

Per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST): Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all intratumoral arterial enhancement in target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesions Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

Time frame: 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days
