DcBeads and lipiodol-transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using doxorubicin result in about 50% objective response rate at 6 months (Precision V study, Lammer et al. CVIR 2010) We previously demonstrated that idarubicin was the most effective drug on 3 HCC cell lines (Boulin et al., Anticancer drugs 2009). We tested idarubicin-loaded beads in a phase I trial (Boulin et al., Aliment Pharmacol Therapy 2012) and more recently in a prospective multicentric phase II trial (IDASPHERE II, Magna Cum Laude CIRSE 2017, B Guiu et al.). This trial was stopped at interim analysis because the endpoint was reached. Tandem beads are precisely calibrated, of small size, allowing the maximization of ischemic effects together with an optimal efficacy of the drug. We previously published that idarubicin was able to load fastly in Tandem, with minimal modification of bead diameter and a very interesting releasing profile of the drug (Guiu et al., JVIR 2015). We used TANDEM combined with idarubicin in our practice for the treatment of HCC by TACE (in-label use of beads and the drug). No clinical study (even retrospective) has been published so far with TANDEM-IDA (except our first paper published in JVIR in 2015, only 4 patients). Here we propose to collect the retrospective data of patients treated by TANDEM-IDA, to help to design a future multicentric randomized phase II trial
Clinical study to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics (primary objectives) and efficacy (secondary objective) of ET1402L1-CART-cells in patients with AFP+ HCC
This study will determine if the combination of regorafenib and pembrolizumab is safe and tolerated in patients with advanced liver cancer. In addition, the study will explore the anti-tumor activity of this combination as well as potentially identifying blood and tissue biomarkers associated with disease activity, status or response. The study will also investigate how the drugs behave in your body
The purpose of this research study is to learn about 2 types of FDA-approved catheters used in angiographic (X-ray of blood vessels, with radiopaque substance) procedures like DEB-TACE treatment. The Principal Investigator will check the beads given during the DEB-TACE. They will compare the way in which they are spread out in the tumor and density (how condensed something is).
Chronic liver disease including cirrhosis is one of the most important factors in the multi-step progression of hepatocarcinogenesis, from benign regenerative nodules to early hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and finally to overt HCCs. Early diagnosis of HCC, differentiation from benign hepatocellular nodules, and surgical resection of the tumor or transplantation of the liver provide the best chance for long-term survival. Several studies have evaluated MRI enhanced with superparamagnetic iron oxide, gadolinium-based contrast material, or both, for the detection and differential diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions. However, the differentiation of HCC from benign and or borderline hepatocellular nodules remains difficult, particularly in patients with cirrhosis, because of the architectural distortion of liver parenchyma and the development of cirrhotic nodules, ranging from benign regenerative nodules to overt HCC, with overlapping imaging features. Recently, gadoxetic acid (gadoliniumethoxybezyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid; Primovist®, Bayer Health Care Pharmaceuticals), a gadolinium-based paramagnetic contrast agent that produces both dynamic and liver-specific hepatobiliary MRI studies has gained widespread use. Some studies have showed that gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI allows the accurate detection and characterization of HCC. Investigators plan to assess this in particular as it is a question of great relevance. Execution of well conducted prospective studies will also clarify inclusion of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI as the technique of choice in evaluation of patients at risk for HCC.
To date, Sorafenib is the only drug therapy to have demonstrated a benefit in overall survival in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. However, this treatment causes many adverse effects that may limit its prescription. Under these conditions, predicting and therefore potentially preventing the adverse effects of sorafenib is a major issue in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with this drug. Currently, there is little data available on the correlation between the pharmacokinetics of sorafenib and the side effects of this drug in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma. Investigators propose an observational cohort study evaluating the correlation between residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the risk of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) in treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis. This study should include 60 patients over an expected duration of 12 months. The aim of this work is to determine whether there is a correlation between the residual plasma concentration of sorafenib and the occurrence of severe adverse effects (grades 3-5) at treatment in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis as well as potential influence of the etiology of cirrhosis on this relationship. The ultimate ambition is to be able to anticipate and thus prevent these adverse effects in order to increase the safety of the drug and potentially its effectiveness.
Randomized study of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) versus transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma represents the commonest primary cancer of the liver.serum lactate dehydrogenase is an indirect marker of tumor hypoxia,angioneogenesis and worse prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare radiation treatment plans that are designed for patients with liver cancer. One treatment plan will be created using routine procedures and scans normally performed for radiation treatment planning. The other treatment plan will be created using routine procedures with the addition of two imaging scans; a HIDA (Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid) scan and an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. This study will evaluate if adding these imaging scans to treatment planning can reduce the amount of radiation to healthy liver tissue during treatment.
