Miriplatin is a novel lipophilic platinum complex developed to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although HCC patients frequently have coexisting severe liver cirrhosis, there is no prospective data regarding clinical toxicity of miriplatin in HCC patients with severe cirrhosis. We retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemotherapy with miriplatin in 34 HCC patients with severe liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh grade B). An anti-tumor effect of complete response was achieved in 8 of 34 patients and no serious adverse events were observed. These results suggested that transcatheter arterial chemotherapy with miriplatin can be used safety for HCC patients with Child-Pugh B liver cirrhosis.
