- Limitations and caveats
SIRCCA enrollment from February 2017 (180 planned) was slow and thus enrollment terminated early in October 2019 (89 treated). Follow-up until 29 April 2021 was to ensure ≥18 months of data although the primary endpoint was underpowered. An audit to the clinical database detected issues leading to a low level of confidence in the trustworthiness of the collected data. Pharmacovigilance case reconciliation was thus also confounded. The results posted cannot be relied upon as accurate.

Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Survival at 18 Months | 18 months following the date of randomization. | Survival at 18 months is defined as the proportion of patients still alive 18 months from the date of randomization. The outcome was analyzed but the clinical database is not deemed to be reliable. |
| Secondary | Liver-specific Progression Free Survival (PFS) | From date of randomization to the first documented date of progression in the liver or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.. | Liver-specific PFS was defined as the number of days between randomization and the date of first tumor progression in the liver. Diagnosis of tumor progression was to be made using RECIST 1.1. |
| Secondary | Progression Free Survival (PFS) at Any Site | From date of randomization to the date of progression at any site until the first date of documented tumor progression at any site or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. | PFS was defined as the time interval between randomization and the date of tumor progression. Diagnosis of tumor progression was to be made using RECIST 1.1. The outcome was not analyzed due to unreliability of the clinical database. |
| Secondary | Objective Response Rate by RECIST 1.1 and Refined RECIST - Liver | From the date of first treatment until the date of date of first documented progression in the liver, assessed up to 36 months. | The outcome was not analyzed due to unreliability of the clinical database. |
| Secondary | Objective Response Rate by RECIST 1.1 and Refined RECIST - at Any Site | From the date of first treatment until progression at any site, assessed up to 36 months. | The outcome was not analyzed due to unreliability of the clinical database. |
| Secondary | Overall Survival | From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months. | The outcome was not analyzed due to unreliability of the clinical database. |
| Secondary | Liver Surgical Resection and Ablation Rate | 18 months following the date of randomization. | To assess the number of patients in each arm who are downstaged by protocol therapy and can proceed to liver resection or ablation. The specific assessments will be the classification of resection as R0, R1 or R2, the presence of viable tumor or fibrosis, and the nearest resection margin. The outcome was not analyzed due to unreliability of the clinical database. |
| Secondary | Incidence of Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) | Informed consent until 28 days post last dose of protocol chemotherapy. | Adverse events (AEs) as assessed by CTCAE v. 4.0. Summaries of non-serious AEs (clinical database, MedDRA 20.1) and serious adverse events (SAEs; pharmacovigilance database, MedDRA 25.1) are provided for information only in the 'Adverse Events' section - the data are deemed unreliable. |
