Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of autologous dendritic killer cell (DKC) in patients with metastatic solid tumor and to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DKC. The primary endpoint of safety evaluation includes physical examination, assessment of vital sign, laboratory test, concomitant medication, and adverse event (AE). The secondary endpoints regarding efficacy includes the generation of tumor specific immune response by detecting CD3+ CD8+ CD69+ IFN-gamma+ T cells, and the improvement of quality of life
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating younger patients with sarcomas, Wilms tumor, or other rare tumors that have come back, do not respond to therapy, or are newly diagnosed. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth and tumor blood vessel growth.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) compared with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with BCLC stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical feasibility of annual non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging for surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma in high-risk group, in comparison with biannual ultrasonography.
Sorafenib represents the standard care for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, molecular predictors of sorafenib efficacy have not yet been identified. The primary aim of the study is to validate the prognostic or predictive role of eNOS,Ang2, HIF-1, VEGF and VEGFR polymorphisms in relation to clinical outcome (progression-free survival, PFS) of HCC patients treated with sorafenib.
Patients undergoing Y90 radioembolization to will be followed prospectively with CT volumetry to determine post-Y90 rate of liver hypertrophy.
This study is being carried out to assess the best dose of a new drug, called tefinostat, in treating liver cancer. Tefinostat is a new drug that blocks enzymes called histone deacetylases (pronounced dee-as-et-isle-azes). Cells need these enzymes to grow and divide. Blocking them may stop cancer growing. Drugs that block these enzymes are called histone deacetylase inhibitors or 'HDAC inhibitors'. Tefinostat has never been given to patients with liver cancer before so it isn't known which dose is best at treating liver cancer. To find this out the study will be testing one dose and if that is safe, then test a higher dose and so on. The aim of this study is to find the best dose of tefinostat without causing side effects. The study will be looking closely at any side effects patients might experience from this treatment.
There is little evidence showed that adjuvant therapy had been shown to extend the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving surgical resection. We investigated whether injections of highly-purified Cytotoxic T lymphocytes prolongs recurrence-free survival of patients after resection for HCC.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common and the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Recurrence of tumor within the liver remnant is common, with a reported 5-year recurrence rate of 70%. Repeat hepatectomy is an effective treatment for intrahepatic HCC but with a small proportion of resection rate because of the poor functional liver reserve and postoperative complications. Radiofrequency ablation(RFA) is becoming the main effective treatment for small HCC (≤5.0cm). The efficacy of RFA for recurrent HCC has been reported to be comparable to those achieved by surgery with minimal, but higher local recurrence rate after RFA. It has been reported that immunotherapy in patients who underwent curative treatment for HCC, adjuvant immunotherapy with activated CIK cells increased recurrence-free and overall survival. But there is little evidence for adjuvant immunotherapy of recurrence HCC. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTL), a kind of effective T cells that specific recognizing and killing antigen targeted cells through cloning amplification after receiving antigen information from antigen presented cell and playing key role to clear cancerous cells. So our hypothesis is that RFA combined with immunotherapy (Highly-purified CTL) is superior to RFA for recurrent HCC. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the outcome of RFA combined with immunotherapy (Highly-purified CTL) with RFA for small recurrent HCC after partial hepatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) protocol versus conventional treatment on patients who underwent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
