Filter by:To evaluate the impact of liver fibrosis and other variables [e.g., age, sex, virological response (VR), and previous resistance to nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NUC) therapy] on Hepatocellular carcinoma incidence in an Italian population of genotype D HBeAg-negative CHB patients treated with long-term NUC therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dalantercept plus sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to determine the recommended dose level of dalantercept in combination with sorafenib.
Surgical resection is one of the curative treatment modalities for HCC. Limits are postoperative septic and liver functional complications related to an increase in bacterial translocation and systemic endotoxemia. Bacterial translocation is a passage of bacteria and bacterial degradation products from the intestine to the portal circulation. The endotoxemia secondary to bacterial translocation, stimulates endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO). NO is also a potent inducer of membrane instability, responsible for an increase in the permeability of the vascular endothelium and intestinal mucosa, possibly contributing to a worsening of bacterial translocation. Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit on the host ((Health and Nutritional Properties of Probiotics in Food Including Powder Milk with Live Lactic Acid Bacteria - Cordoba Argentina October 2001). Data from experimental and clinical literature show a significant effect of probiotics on the improvement of liver function and a decrease in infectious complications in patients with chronic liver disease. The proposed study would evaluate the effect preventive and therapeutic in a population of surgical patients, in whom the intestinal portal and hepatic inflammation promotes postoperative complications.
The purpose of this study is to compare short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscope hepatectomy and open hepatectomy, evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscope hepatectomy the PHC with a tumor size of 5～10㎝,and provide class B evidence based medicine for laparoscope hepatectomy for PHC with a tumor size of 5～10㎝.
This pilot trial studies propranolol hydrochloride in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Propranolol hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the use of hormones by the tumor cells.
To see the safety and efficacy of injecting MG4101 as a secondary treatment after curative liver resection on the patient with advanced HCC who has high risk of recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of using small beads (70-150 micron in place of 100-300 micron) to deliver chemotherapy into the liver to treat patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The beads (LC-Bead M1) will be loaded with doxorubicin (DEBDOX-M1), and used to administer transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) DEBDOX, loaded with doxorubicin, is a device that utilizes tiny beads (70-150 microns) to deliver chemotherapy agents into liver tumor(s) via the hepatic artery. This device allows for continuous release of doxorubicin into the liver tumor tissue(s) causing necrosis of the targeted tumor(s). The potential advantages of the smaller beads are deeper penetration into the tumor bed, while avoiding premature proximal occlusion of vessels feeding the tumor, and more consistent dosing. Response to therapy will be evaluated monthly by clinic visits and blood tests (to include assessment of liver function and tumor markers) and by imaging (usually MRIs) every 1-2 months. Patients will be on study for 6 months after which they will be exited from the study and followed for survival. Once exited from the study they will continue to be eligible to receive the smaller beads (DEBDOX), should it be recommended.
Certain cancers require the amino acid arginine. Arginine deiminase (ADI) is an enzyme from microbes that degrade arginine. ADI has been formulated with polyethylene glycol and has been used to treat patients that have cancers that require arginine. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the response rate, as determined by the revised International Working Group recommendations.
For patients who are suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma and are treated with radioembolization, the purpose of this study is to analyse parameters of functional MRIs that are modified early and to detect parameters that vary significantly after treatment.
This is an open-label, integrated, Phase 1b/2 trial to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic of MSC2156119J as first-line treatment versus sorafenib in subjects with MET+, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage C, systemic treatment naive advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and Child-Pugh class A liver function.
