Filter by:This clinical trial studies radiolabeled glass beads (yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres) in treating patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Using radiolabeled glass beads to kill tumor cells may be an effective treatment for liver cancer.
This is an open-label Phase 1b dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of OMP-54F28 when combined with sorafenib. OMP-54F28 will be administered IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The planned dose levels of OMP-54F28 are 5 and 10 mg/kg. Depending on safety in this study, additional lower or intermediate dose levels may be evaluated.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if the advised dose of ramucirumab is safe to be taken with chemotherapy treatment in participants with advanced liver tumors.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide and the third most frequent cause of death of cancer.Although with the development of medical science, more and more patients diagnose HCC at early stage, a lot of patients with HCC still continue to present with multiple tumors or port vein thrombosis. According to AASLD guidelines, these patients could received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or new agents as initial treatment. However, the intermediate group comprises a wide spectrum in terms of liver function and extent of tumour, and this may explain the large differences in survival reported for individual series. A simple, pragmatic and reliable prognostic index based on objective measures would be of value in providing information to patients, for stratifying patients entering clinical trials and in making meaningful comparisons between series reported in the literature.The aims of our study were (i) to identify predictors of survival in a cohort of patients undergoing TACE or TAE for unresectable HCC, (ii) to develop and validate a simple scoring system and (iii) to compare the new scoring system with the most frequently used prognostic systems for its ability to separate high- and low-risk patients.
Selection criteria for safe hepatectomy for HCC are not well established. The aim of this study was the validation of the selection criteria for safe hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
To evaluate local tumor control and survival rate after repeated transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) using three different protocols in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
Circulating tumour cell (CTC) count could reflect the effect of postoperative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence.
The preventive lymphadenectomy is not performed routinely for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in clinical practice. While many patients suffered the recurrence without the evidence of portal or hepatic vascular invasion or multiple loci, it lead to reconsider the value of preventive resection of regional lymph node for those patients. Recently, more and more studies had found the incidence of lymph node metastasis was higher in autopsy specimen than those in operable patients. This project is a prospective randomized controlled trial, planning to compare hepatectomy with hepatectomy combined lymphadenectomy regarding of the safety and efficacy in HCC patients, to reach a further understanding of the role of lymphadenectomy.
The present clinical trial is aiming to evaluate efficacy of ARQ 197 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), who were resistant or intolerable to one systemic chemotherapy regimen including sorafenib.
Unresectable, non-metastatic cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis as there are no recommended curative treatments. Chemoembolisation is the most widely used treatment in these patients, but this technique can prove to be toxic. intrahepatic arterial chemotherapy with lipiodol and idarubicin could be an effective therapeutic approach, without deteriorating liver function. The rationale for this treatment can be resumed as follows: - HCC are vascularised via the hepatic artery system - The IHA perfusion of anthracyclines leads to high elimination via the liver with low systemic concentrations - The absence of embolisation reduces toxicity - the toxiciity profile of idarubicin is well known and the drug is widely used for the IV treatment of leukemia - idarubicin is the most cytotoxic drug for tumor cell lines. - The in vitro cytotoxicity of idarubicin is 100% at low concentrations - Lipiodol can stay in contact with tumor tissue for several weeks after injection and act as a vector for the drug - The idarubicin-lipiodol is more stable than lipidol emulsions usually given by intraarterial injection - The emulsion is more stable with idarubicin than with other anticancer molecules - Sequential inclusion in accordance with the "continual reassessment method" makes it possible to increase inclusions at a target toxicity level while reducing inclusions at doses that are too low or too toxic The aim of the treatment is to improve survival.
