Filter by:This study is aiming to evaluate the clinical efficacy of complete laparoscopic resection of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The aim of this project is to investigate whether the proliferative speeds of cultured cells using our method can be integrated into Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging classification for the possibility of personalized treatment and prediction the outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
Project 5 of the Texas HCC Consortium (THCCC) is a comparative effectiveness pragmatic randomized control trial (RCT) of outreach strategies to increase hepatocellular cancer (HCC) surveillance process completion among a socioeconomically and racially diverse cohort of Texans with cirrhosis. Through this project the investigators will implement and evaluate system-level mailed outreach interventions to identity at-risk patients with cirrhosis, promote HCC surveillance, and ensure timely follow-up of tests at UT Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center, Parkland Health and Hospital System (PHHS), and the Houston Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center. The study population will include adult patients with documented or unrecognized cirrhosis and at least one outpatient clinic visit in year prior to randomization. Patients will be identified using an EMR-enabled case identification algorithm. The investigators will randomize 3000 patients (1500 per arm) identified by this algorithm to: usual care, with opportunistic visit-based HCC surveillance (Group 1); or, mailed HCC surveillance outreach with patient education and patient navigation services (Group 2).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a treatment with Therasphere which is optimized is more efficient compared to a standard treatment for patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinomas.
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadoxetate disodium in measuring tumors in patients with liver cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI with gadoxetate disodium, may help find and diagnose liver cancer and find out how far the disease has spread. It is not yet known whether MRI with gadoxetate disodium provides a more precise measurement of liver tumors than standard computed tomography (CT).
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine (Xeloda) in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in participants with advanced liver cancer who have had no prior treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 43 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine if nivolumab or sorafenib is more effective in the treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of ramucirumab plus MEDI4736 in participants with locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal or thoracic malignancies including gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The standard treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sorafenib. Though the agent showed clear survival benefit in two randomized phase III trials, the benefit was modest and response rate was just a few percent. Therefore, other loco-regional modalities, like trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), and radiotherapy (RT) were continuously tried, especially in locally advanced HCC including portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). With the advancement of conformal RT techniques, RT was actively applied in HCC, especially in PVTT combined HCC. Many researchers reported that there is a relationship between RT dose and tumor response rate. RT dose, however, is frequently limited because the complications (like radiation induced liver disease (RILD), radiation induced gastro-duodenal toxicity, etc.) are also closely related with higher exposed RT dose. Proton beam has characteristic depth-dose distribution contrast to photon, the "Bragg peak". The advantage of this dose distribution could be more highlighted in HCC management, because of the weakness and maintenance importance of liver function itself in HCC patients. In fact, the superior results of proton beam therapy in HCC were constantly reported in several groups as prospectively as well as retrospectively. In those background, the investigators planned the present study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy in HCC patients combined with PVTT.
This open-label study will demonstrate proof-of-mechanism of HIF1A inhibition by a decrease of HIF1A mRNA after intravenous (IV) infusion of RO7070179 in participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have failed at least one line of systemic therapy. This will be a single arm study and all participants will receive RO7070179, 13 milligram per kilogram per week (mg/kg/week), 2-hour IV infusion on Days 1 and 4 during Week 1 of Cycle 1, followed by once weekly in 6 week cycle. Treatment with RO7070179 will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
