Filter by:This Phase I/II trial will evaluate the safety and activity of chemo-radiotherapy comprising a regimen of Sorafenib chemotherapy plus SIR-Spheres yttrium-90 microspheres (chemo-radiotherapy, also known as "chemo-SIRT"), for first-line treatment of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in whom surgical resection is not feasible. This study is designed as a prelude to a planned future randomised comparative study that will compare the efficacy of Sorafenib plus SIR-Spheres versus Sorafenib alone, in this patient population.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib in combination with Gemcitabine in patients with advanced/unresectable HCC.
To prove that the efficacy and safety of 'Green Cross CELL* Immuncell-LC group' is superior to 'non-treatment group(Control group)' in patient undergone curative resection(PEIT, RFA or operation) for hepatocellular carcinoma in Korea
To evaluate efficacy and safety of sorafenib versus placebo in the adjuvant treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) after potentially curative treatment (surgical resection or local ablation).
The purpose of this protocol is to provide access to Therasphere treatment for patients with liver tumors.
BACKGROUND The insulin-like growth factor system (IGFs) plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation. Nevertheless, the roles played by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and human growth hormone (HGH) in the progression of chronic liver disease remain to be elucidated and investigated. METHODS The subjects in the present study included 60 healthy controls, 30 hepatitis patients, 60 liver cirrhosis patients and 60 untreated hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Blood was drawn by venipuncture into Venoject tubes. To find the possible correlations between liver damage and IGFs, serum IGF-1, GH, IGFBP-3 concentration and related biochemical parameters were measured. We used immunoradiometric assay to determine the levels of IGF-1, HGH and IGFBP-3 in serum.
The radical treatment for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is surgery. However, it is only for 10 to 20% of all patients and 10 to 30% of them have relapsed every year after surgery. For an inoperable case, we can consider Liver transplantation. But there is not enough organ donor and it is very expensive. In that case, various treatment modalities for HCC (i.e., transcatheter arterial embolization [TAE] and percutaneous ethanol injection [PEI], radiofrequency ablation etc.) have become clinically available. In addition, after these treatment, radiation therapy can be conducted as a combined treatment. If it is difficult, radiation therapy can be conducted alone. In this case, radiation therapy can use fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy [FSRT] or 3D simulation to minimize the exposure to normal tissues. In recent years, Proton therapy is a new radiation therapy which remaining energy is released when they reach the tumor, delivering the most effective dose of radiation. The purpose of this trial is to improve the therapeutic effects by using proton therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether hepatectomy combining with adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for Stage IIIA hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resulting better long-term survival outcome when compared with hepatectomy alone.
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) had been proved to improve the survivals for middle stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but for advanced stage HCC its' efficacy had not been proved. The investigators hypothesize that TACE also improve the survivals for advanced stage HCC. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective control study to find out if the survivals for patients after TACE better than only best support or not.
This phase II trial is studying how well IMC-A12 works in treating patients with advanced liver cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as IMC-A12, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them.
