Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy With Lipiodol Embolization in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Is NCT06632717 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Treatment: Cisplatin · 5-fluorouracilHepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a locoregional therapy commonly used in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with high response rates and minimal impairment of liver function reported. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial embolization (TAE) are also commonly used in HCC, with high response rates reported yet carry risks of impairing liver function after repeated embolization with a definitive embolic agent. On the other hand, lipiodol used in TACE/TAE has transient and plastic embolization effects on the tumor in contrast to the long-lasting embolization effect of the definitive embolic agent. This study investigates whether combining HAIC with lipiodol embolization will increase efficacy with good liver function preservation.
