Filter by:Anatomical liver resection was widely accepted as first line curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, number of retrospective clinical studies showed no priority of anatomical resection for hepatocellular, compared with non-anatomical resection. Surgical resection margin is a essential factor that may affect tumor prognosis. It is controversial whether adequate liver resection margin is associated with improved survival outcome in patients with hepatocellular. There was few prospective clinical trial to investigate whether anatomical liver resection is superior to non-anatomical resection or liver resection with adequate margin is superior to that with inadequate margin. This prospective clinical trial aims at fix these issues.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of deferoxamine (DFO) combined with conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
There is great need for new therapeutic options for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This proposal will assess the feasibility of a novel theranostic approach to HCC using [68Ga]DOTATATE, a recently approved positron emission tomography (PET) ligand for imaging somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive tumors. In this study, we will use [68Ga]DOTATATE to determine the percentage of HCCs that express adequate levels of SSTR for treatment with targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) using the therapeutic SSTR ligand [177Lu]DOTATATE. This radionuclide therapy was FDA approved in January 2018 for treating neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arising from the gastrointestinal tract, but its use in HCC has not yet been explored. In the long term, we envision using [68Ga]DOTATATE-PET to identify HCC patients with adequate SSTR expression for TRT using [177Lu]DOTATATE. Liver transplantation is the only curative therapy for HCC and is an option for a selected subset of HCC patients. For those who are not candidates for transplantation, locoregional therapies with limited efficacy are available such as percutaneous ablation, arterial chemoembolization, and Y-90 microsphere radionuclide therapies. There are few options for patients who progress or are not candidates for these therapies. The first line systemic therapy is sorafenib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Sorafenib is often not well tolerated due to its side effects and there is need for additional systemic treatments. Multiple tissue-based studies demonstrate SSTR positivity in 20-50% of HCCs.[1-3] However, the fraction of HCCs have high enough levels of SSTR for [177Lu]DOTATATE therapy has not yet been assessed. This research plan is a critical prerequisite for determining the feasibility of this theranostic approach to treating HCC. If we obtain positive results, these data will be critical for designing a combined imaging and therapeutic study in HCC using DOTATATE.
This clinical trial is a prospective, open label, single arm oncological phase I/II trial in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and WNT signaling alterations. The trial consists of two parts: Part A is a phase I study investigating the safety of DKN-01 administered as mono- as well as combination therapy with sorafenib in a 2 step dose escalation.Part B is a phase II study to investigate the anti-tumor activity and safety of DKN-01 in patients with advanced HCC. DKN-01 is administered at the recommend phase II dose (RP2D) for monotherapy and at the recommend phase II dose for combination therapy established in Part A.
Researchers already did trials that showed Sorafenib and Regorafenib worked for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (most common liver tumor type). In this trial, they want to learn more about the same patient group in which Sorafenib or Regorafenib is given after other drugs. Patients participating in this study will be observed until 12 months after the last patient has been enrolled to collect data on how safe the drugs are and how well they are working when used as second line or beyond treatment.
Evaluation the Treatment Outcome for RFA in Patients With BCLC Stage B HCC in Comparison With TACE
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy durvalumab and tremelimumab combined with DEB-TACE in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of radiofrequency /microwave ablation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma beyond Milan Criteria.
The aim of this study is to make up for this gap by performing a dynamic scan of 18F-FDG PET/CT on newly diagnosed patients with liver cancer. The lesions and/or metastases are performed for biopsy. Pathological and genomic studies are performed. The differences between tumor images and tissues are compared at the same time. 18F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging is explored in primary liver cancer metastases for the diagnostic value.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represent approximately 70-85% of liver cancer, in which Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the major etiologic agent accounting for at least 80% of HCC in Asian countries. Overall, transplantation remains the best option however, HCC recurrence rate is high among liver transplant patients. While there are limited treatment measures for HBV-related HCC recurrences, the study hypothesized that LioCyx is capable of lysing target liver cells expressing the HBV cognate antigens and provide clinical benefit to patients with HBV-related HCC.
