Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
Compare the effect of liver transplantation (LT) plus ADV-TK gene therapy versus LT only in advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
Interventions
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.
Orthotopic LT and subsequent immunosuppression therapy

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Progression-free survival, PFS | 2-year | PFS was measured from the day of liver transplantation to objective recurrence (MRI or CT) or HCC-related death, whichever occurred first. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival, OS | 1-year | OS was measured from the day of liver transplantation to death. |
| Time of the tumor progression,TTP | 2-year | TTP was the median period from the day of liver transplantation to objective recurrence (MRI or CT). |
| Median overall survival time | 2-year | — |
