Filter by:This phase II trial is studying how well MK2206 works in treating patients with advanced liver cancer that did not respond to previous therapy. MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is Phase I, open-label and dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD1480(JAK2 inhibitor) in Asian patients with advanced solid tumors (Part A and C) and in patients with advanced HCC (Part B) in the escalation phase, EGFR or ROS mutant NSCLC and non-smokers with lung metastasis and gastric cancer in the expansion phase and to evaluate daily and BID dosing.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new magnetic resonance (MR) protocol is better at diagnosing liver lesions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of sunitinib in patients with advanced/inoperable fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. Rationale: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of sorafenib to 5-fluorouracil/mitomycin in HCC patients with pulmonary metastasis whose intrahepatic tumors has been controlled with locoregional therapies.
Treatment options for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are often limited. In most cases, they are not amenable to local therapies including surgery or radiofrequency ablation. The multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib has shown to increase overall survival in this patient group for about 3 months. Radiation therapy is a treatment alternative, however, high local doses are required for long-term local control. However, due to the relatively low radiation tolerance of liver normal tissue, even using stereotactic techniques, delivery of sufficient doses for successful local tumor control has not be achieved to date. Carbon ions offer physical and biological characteristics. Due to their inverted dose profile and the high local dose deposition within the Bragg peak precise dose application and sparing of normal tissue is possible. Moreover, in comparison to photons, carbon ions offer an increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE), which can be calculated between 2 and 3 depending on the HCC cell line as well as the endpoint analyzed. Japanese Data on the evaluation of carbon ion radiation therapy showed promising results for patients with HCC. In the current Phase I-PROMETHEUS-01-Study, carbon ion radiotherapy will be evaluated for patients with advanced HCC. The study will be performed as a dose-escalation study evaluating the optimal carbon ion dose with respect to toxicity and tumor control. Primary endpoint is toxicity, secondary endpoint is progression-free survival and response.
A research study of liver perfusion (how blood flows to the liver over time). We hope to learn whether perfusion characteristics of liver masses may be predictive of response to treatment and whether liver perfusion characteristics can be used to follow response to treatment.
This study is designed to determine whether proton beam radiotherapy plus Sorafenib compared to Sorafenib alone will produce the best results for treating patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
The secretion by tumor cells of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was observed in 50 to 60% of hepatocellular carcinoma. The AFP can be used as a marker for tumor recurrence after treatment and may be considered as a tumor antigen specific for hepatocellular carcinoma.The aim of the project is to use the alpha fetoprotein (AFP) as a tumor antigen and to propose an approach of immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma based on the injection of autologous dendritic cells loaded with specific peptides of AFP.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether brivanib is an effective treatment for liver cancer in Asian patients who have failed or could not tolerate sorafenib therapy.
