This is A prospective, one-arm, phase II clinical study of Camrelizumab combined with apatinib for perioperative treatment of resectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma with a high risk of recurrence
This research study wants to develop advanced imaging methods to more accurately characterize prostate cancer or solid tumor aggressiveness. This observational study involves [18F]DCFPyL positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)
A randomized trial showed that sorafenib plus hepatic artery infusion of 85mg/m² oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil is more effective than sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, a retrospective study showed that hepatic artery infusion of 130 mg/m² oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil is more effective than sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It is unknown which oxaliplatin dose is better.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), including programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor or programmed cell death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor , is recommended to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the safety of ICI in patients with a high HBV-DNA load is unknown because of the potential risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation. This study was to compare the HBV reactivation between patients with low HBV-DNA loads and high HBV-DNA loads undergoing antiviral prophylaxis and ICI.
Hepatic artery infusion of oxaliplatin, leucovorin and 2400 mg/m² fluorouracil is effective in hepatocellular carcinoma. However, SILIUS study showed that sorafenib plus hepatic artery infusion of cisplatin and fluorouracil did not significantly improve overall survival compared with sorafenib alone. Whether fluorouracil is effevtive is known.
This is a randomized, controlled, phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of ablation followed by tislelizumab versus ablation alone in patients with early recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant/adjuvant Nivolumab or Nivolumab plus Relatlimab in patients with HCC.
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fifth most frequent cancer in the world, with a diagnosis of more than 500,000 new cases per year. It is considered the third leading cause of cancer mortality and presents well-defined risk factors. Liver cirrhosis is the main risk factor for developing HCC, therefore screening programs in cirrhotic patients will allow the early diagnosis of this neoplasia. Despite this, most HCCs are diagnosed at a stage in which the application of curative therapies is no longer possible. Hepatic transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) belongs to the arterially directed embolization therapies for the treatment of unresectable early-to-advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is the only therapy that has shown to improve survival in intermediate-stage HCC. Drug-eluting beads (DEB)-TACE has shown to provide slow drug elution, reduced liver and systemic toxicity, increased local drug concentration, and tissue necrosis. Aside from TACE, other transarterial options include bland embolization, or hepatic artery embolization (HAE), and transarterial radioembolization (TARE). All have an acceptable safety profile, and each has its associated procedural and peri-procedural complications. One potential complication that may occur during all embolization procedures is when the embolic material migrates outside of the desired treatment area, leading to non-target embolization (NTE). In fact, when collateral vessels are embolized, there is a risk that these may be feeders of non-target tissue or organs. NTE following TACE in particular may lead to a double-layer problem: dangerous components affecting healthy tissue, one ischemic and one related to cytotoxicity from the chemotherapeutic agent, which may have clinical consequences, and potential incomplete treatment of the lesion (due to beads being "deviated" from target). NTE is highly recognized, but often thought to be uncommon, and although different complications can be caused by it, there may appear to be no evidence of NTE during the intraprocedural imaging. To avoid the complications due to NTE, apart from the importance of the pre-, intra- and post-procedural imaging, and the thorough study of the anatomical picture, the catheters/microcatheters should also be chosen with reason and care. In particular, selective catheterization should be achieved by placing the microcatheter tip as close as possible to the target, through the specific branch/branches supplying it. However, even with the microcatheter selectively positioned in the vessel to be embolized, the risk of NTE might not be eliminated, since it could happen as a result of changes in flow dynamics that occur during embolization, particularly when the endpoint is stasis. These changes could result in reflux into non-target territories and, as such, might be better prevented with the use of microcatheters intended to reduce reflux. To this purpose, the use of a dedicated delivery device should be taken into consideration, in order to optimize and save time during the procedure. Microcatheters are commonly used during most arterial embolization procedures, and as explained above, there is a strong rationale to use a reflux-control microcatheter - like Sequre - for DEB-TACE. The main expectation is to achieve technical success with Sequre in all patients with a reachable target lesion, with the intent not only to minimize potential damage to surrounding tissue, but also to potentially deliver more treatment embolics, as all the beads are (re)directed towards the target. The use of small diameter particles (100 micron-TANDEM ® spheres), induces superior tumor necrosis response (Urbano et al., European Journal of Radiology, 2020); with the synergistic effect of being administered through the SEQURE anti-reflux protection system, there is reason to believe that it will be possible to administer maximum doses of doxorubicin, while avoiding the occlusion of non-target arterial segments (SYNERGIC EFFECT). STUDY PROPOSAL: We propose a prospective observational study with data collection from a single center (Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital-Granada), for a period that ranges October 2020-December 2021.
