Brief Summary:
TARGET-HCC is a longitudinal, observational study of patients being managed for HCC in usual clinical practice.

Study Type : Observational [Patient Registry]
Estimated Enrollment : 10000 participants
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Target Follow-Up Duration: 15 Years
Official Title: A Longitudinal Observational Study of the Natural History and Management of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study Start Date : December 2016
Estimated Primary Completion Date : October 2024
Estimated Study Completion Date : October 2024



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Establish a longitudinal observational cohort to understand the natural history and management of HCC, including the safety and outcomes of HCC treatment interventions utilized in usual clinical practice [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the impact of HCC treatment interventions and concomitant medications on comorbid conditions and liver function [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
  2. Evaluate patient-reported outcomes measures during the natural course of HCC and management with HRQoL questionnaires [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
  3. Establish a Biorepository Specimen Bank (BSB) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Patients enrolled in TARGET-HCC may be invited to participate in the Biorepository Specimen Bank (BSB). Blood samples and tissue samples for biomarker and DNA assays will be collected on a voluntary basis and participation in this project will not affect participation in the main study. These samples will be shipped to a central repository for storage to use in future studies. Samples stored at the biorepository will be identified only with the participant's unique study ID number and the date that the sample was obtained. This link between the participant's study ID number and their name will be available only at the site where the samples were obtained.
