Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to elucidate whether entecavir treatment prevents a cancer recurrence or not, in the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with chronic hepatitis B or cirrhosis after a curative therapy of the cancer, i.e., curative resection or radiofrequency ablation. Addingly, the long-term estimation of entecavir treatment will be made about the influence on serum HBV DNA level, serum ALT, hepatic reserve, drug resistance, survival, and safety.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

(1)Recurrence-free survival: recurrence or not is diagnosed by enhanced CT, enhanced MRI, or ultrasonography.(2)AFP, AFP-L3, PIVKA-II (3)Survival (4)Event-free survival, i.e., survival without gastrointestinal hemorrhage or development(or aggravation) of hepatic failure such as jaundice, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy.

Key secondary outcomes

(1)Change of HBV DNA from pretreatment level, rate of the patients whose HBV DNA level decrease below 2.6 log copy/ml. (2)Clearance or seroconversion of HBeAg (3)ALT, albumin, prothrombin time (%), total bilirubin, platelet count, ascites (none, slight, moderate or much) (4)Emergence of entecavir-resistance

Interventions/Control_1

Entecavir arm: entecavir (brand name: Baraclude) administration orally in a daily dose of 0.5mg before retiring at night, is started within 1 month after registration, and continued for 48 months. Afterwards, the doctor decides to continue or discontinue entecavir administration, dependent on HBV DNA level, ALT level and clinical conditions.

Interventions/Control_2

Control arm: The patients receive their therapy without anti viral medications such as entecavir, lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil or interferon. In the case of development of cancer recurrence or hepatic failure, however, the doctor may start entecavir treatment.
