Filter by:Target therapy with sorafenib is the standard of treatment for advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the patient survival time is still unsatisfactory. The aims of this study are to prove statins improve the tumor responses and overall survival for patients who receive sorafenib therapy for advanced HCC by a prospective randomized controlled study.
The primary efficacy index of this study is to compare the OS of the two groups.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a major health concern in the United States, particularly among people with liver cirrhosis. Out of every 100 patients with liver cancer, only 18 will survive 5 years or more. While locoregional therapies are utilized in an effort to combat this disease, the recurrence rate of HCC after these therapies are high. Statins are widely used drugs that lower cholesterol levels. Some studies have suggested that statins lower risk of HCC recurrence, but this possibility has not been studied thoroughly in a clinical trial. This study will examine the effects of pravastatin, a type of statin, on time to HCC recurrence in patients with early stage HCC. It is possible that pravastatin in combination with locoregional therapies may delay or protect against HCC recurrence.
To analyze specific angiogenic, inflammatory and immune profiles in hepatocellular carcinoma patients who undergo radioembolization.
External beam photon stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using a linear accelerator to a total dose of 40 Gy in 5 fractions delivered once daily with at least 48 hours between each fraction. SBRT treatment will be completed within a 21-day window. Starting within 14 days after completion of SBRT, intravenous nivolumab 240 mg will be given every 2 weeks as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV every 6 weeks.
The purpose of this study will be to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who undergo DEB-TACE (drug-eluting bead trans-arterial chemoembolization) with the Surefire Precision Infusion System for intentional effect of down-staging patients to OLT. Patients with HCC and who are considered candidates for liver transplantation but outside Milancriteria and meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the prospective single arm study. Results of the prospective cohort will be compared to matched historical control patients who were previously treated with DEB-TACE, delivered with standard endhole catheters. This includes all patients treated at the University of Colorado since 2009 treated with 100-300 micron beads for whom follow-up is available.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose of INCB062079 in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies.
This is a study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Combination of the Oncolytic Immunotherapy Pexa-Vec With the PD-1 Receptor Blocking Antibody Nivolumab in the First-line Treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum recommended dose of SF1126 in combination with nivolumab in adult patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) HCC and Child-Pugh A or Child-Pugh B7 cirrhosis. 2. To determine the recommended phase II dose of SF1126 in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) HCC and Child-Pugh A or Child-Pugh B7 cirrhosis. Secondary Objectives: 1. To describe the safety and tolerability of SF1126 in adult patients with underlying liver disease by ongoing evaluation of adverse events. 2. To determine pharmacokinetics in HCC patients. 3. To assess the effect of SF1126 in combination with nivolumab on progression-free survival and overall survival. Primary Endpoint: The primary endpoint is the rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at within 56 days of starting treatment, and the maximum tolerated dose or maximum recommended dose of SF1126 in combination with nivolumab. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Adverse events related to SF1126 (description, timing, grade [CTCAE v4.03], severity, seriousness, and relatedness). 2. Pharmacokinetics in HCC patients. 3. The proportion of patients remaining progression-free by radiographic criteria as assessed by RESIST v1.1 at 4 months, and, as available, median progression-free survival and overall survival estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
This is a phase I/II dose-escalation study of lipotecan based concurrent chemoradiotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis.
