Conditions

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Brief summary

Compare the effect of liver transplantation (LT) plus ADV-TK gene therapy versus LT only in advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Interventions

DRUGADV-Tk

The first ADV-TK dose was administered during the operation; 1.0×10(12) viral particles of ADV-TK in 100 mL of 0.9% saline were injected into peritoneum tissues around the liver. The second and third ADV-TK dose was administered 60 days and 90 days after LT; 1.0×10(12) viral particles of ADV-TK in 100 mL of 0.9% saline were injected into the celiac artery (60 mL) and the superior mesenteric artery (40 mL) via femoral-artery puncture.

PROCEDURELT

Orthotopic LT and subsequent immunosuppression therapy

Inclusion criteria

* 18 - 65 years of age (Male and Female). * Clinical diagnosis of advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma who could accept liver transplantation. * Patients who had unresectable HCC with single tumor diameter \> 5 cm and ≤ 10cm; or numbers of multiple tumors \>3 and ≤ 5, and the total length of foci diameter ≤ 15 cm. * Serum AFP ≤ 10000 ng/ml before liver transplantation. * Child-pugh A-B. * No metastasis in extrahepatic main vescular and extrahepatic lymph node detected during the operation and no metastasis of other organs. * Provide written informed consent before screening.

Exclusion criteria

* Metastasis in extrahepatic organs. * HCC with Invasion in extrahepatic main vescular and extrahepatic organs. * Contraindications of operation of other organ system. * Hypersensitivity to adenovirus, GCV or similar drugs. * Serious obstacle of the mechanism of coagulation, hemorrhagic tendency, and abnormal coagulation (≥50%). * Plan to accept clinical trials of other antitumor drugs. * Immunological deficit. * HBsAg(+) and HBcAb(+) donor. * Unsuitable participate assessed by investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival, PFS2-yearPFS was measured from the day of liver transplantation to objective recurrence (MRI or CT) or HCC-related death, whichever occurred first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival, OS1-yearOS was measured from the day of liver transplantation to death.
Time of the tumor progression,TTP2-yearTTP was the median period from the day of liver transplantation to objective recurrence (MRI or CT).
Median overall survival time2-year
