TACE is standard of care in the BCLC guidelines for HCC, and we recognise that there is still scope for improvement, for example complete response rates, duration of response, leading to the need for retreatment.
As Terumo we are proud that we have generated in recent years a large set of clinical data leading to a new concept of advanced TACE. Several recent clinical publications using the Terumo portfolio have shown new evidence to further improve TACE.

This evidence could further strengthen the case for TACE at the oncological tumour board.

Clinical Data

The latest clinical evidence with the Terumo portfolio in DEM-TACE and Occlusafe-TACE brings new perspectives on the future of TACE treatment:​

  • ​A pooled analysis from over 580 patients with unrestable HCC treated with DEM-TACE will support your practice of DEM-TACE in tumour board discussions. This data is published in CVIR (2023) and was also presented in major oncological congresses, including ESMO GI 2020 and ASCO GI 2021.
  • Long term outcomes of Occlusafe B-TACE​ demonstrated a high mean overall survival of over 4 years with 50.0 months [namely 51.4 months for patients BCLC A and 42.1 for patients BCLC B1] vs an expected 2.5 years Overall survival in BCLC B patients4

Taking TACE to the next level

Our ultimate goal by taking TACE to the next level: to Prolong HCC patients Life expectancy.

Improving complete response rates and maintaining this response lead to an increase in overall survival1:

  • DEM-TACE treatments reach high complete response rates1
  • 60.1% Complete response rate leading to over 4 years overall survival (50.8month) (n=580 patients)1
  • Even when multiple treatments are required for larger, complex tumours2
  • 20% of patients achieved complete response after 3rd or 4th TACE procedures (n=97)2​​​

​Long term clinical outcomes demonstrate that Occlusafe B-TACE allows to get similar clinical outcomes as with LifePearlTM microspheres​1 DEM-TACE but in HCC lesions > 3 cm3

OcclusafeTM-TACE demonstrated to be efficient for the oncological management of HCC with the following results3:

  • Complete response in 58.9% of patients at 6 months3
  • Median local recurrence-free survival of 31.0 months3
  • Over 4 years mean Overall Survival with 50 months [namely 51.4 months for patients BCLC A and 42.1 for patients BCLC B1] vs an expected 2.5 years Overall survival in BCLC B patients4​​​

Occlusafe™ has not been approved by the FDA and is therefore not available for sale in the U.S.A. Occlusafe™ is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature where temporary occlusion is desired. It provides temporary vascular occlusion, which is useful in selectively stopping or controlling blood flow. Occlusafe™ is also intended for use in the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of contrast media, drugs and embolic materials.
Progreat™ Micro Catheter System is indicated for therapeutic embolization and angiography in peripheral vessels. Progreat™ Micro Catheter System is not available for sale in all countries. Please contact your Terumo local sales representative for more information.
Progreat λ™ Micro Catheter System is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of contrast media, drugs and embolic materials in intravascular therapy. Progreat λ™ Micro Catheter System is not available for sale in all countries. Please contact your Terumo local sales representative for more information.
LifePearl™ microspheres are indicated for embolization of blood vessels supplying primary hypervascular tumours or metastases in the liver. Note: LifePearl™ microspheres can be loaded and release chemotherapeutic agents such as Doxorubicin, Epirubicin, Idarubicin and Irinotecan. When used for drug loading, drug loading should be done under a physician’s direction, choice and responsibility, based on type and dose of drug most beneficial to the patient.
