A Multicenter Prospective Study on the Performance of Spectral CT for Evaluating Treatment Response After TACE in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The Performance of Spectral CT in Evaluating Treatment Response After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The SpecTRAIL Study


Sponsor

Zhongda Hospital

Enrollment

250 participants

Start Date

Jan 20, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

By comparing the diagnostic accuracy of spectral CT and conventional CT in evaluating treatment response efficacy after TACE, this study aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of spectral CT in assessing treatment response following TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 75 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating a special type of CT scan called spectral CT to see how accurately it can assess whether a liver cancer treatment called TACE (a procedure that delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumor via a blood vessel) has worked. Researchers want to see if spectral CT is better than standard CT scans at detecting whether any cancer remains after treatment. **You may be eligible if:** - You are aged 18 to 75 and have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer) - Your liver cancer is at an early or intermediate stage (BCLC stage A or B) - You have undergone or are planning TACE treatment - You are scheduled for either follow-up imaging, surgery, or another procedure after TACE - You are able and willing to provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have a known allergy or contraindication to CT contrast dye - You have cancer outside the liver - You have had radiation therapy previously - Your imaging quality is too poor to analyze, or your clinical records are incomplete Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
