Filter by:This is a prospective clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (Camrelizumab) in patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation. All of the enrolled patients have a background of liver transplantation for HCC. Due to the tumor recurrence, patients are not suitable for curative surgical resection, and targeted therapy provides poor therapeutic effect, leading to tumor progression or intolerance. Before immunotherapy, the PD-L1 expression was confirmed negative in the graft liver by immunohistochemistry, and patients continued targeted therapy as part of a combined antitumor regimen. In addition, the immunosuppression schedule is also reduced to a low level.
This study is being done to look at how effective the drug, atezolizumab, with or without the drug bevacizumab, is for people with inoperable liver cancer or non-small lung cancer that has spread to the liver. This will be done by looking at the duration of time from starting the study drug(s) until the cancer worsens in study participants. This study will collect blood and tumor tissue samples from participants to look at changes to their tumor(s) before and after receiving atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab.
The purpose of the study was search the safety and efficacy of the of Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Decoction (XSLJZ) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients with multiple protein kinase inhibitor therapy. Evaluate the treatment effect on the symptoms of appetite and quality of life in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SCT-I10A in combination with SCT510 in patients with HCC who have not received prior systemic therapy.
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study in which subjects will be treated with lenvatinib combined with TACE in un-resectable HCC patients who had not received systematic treatment or TACE treatment in the past.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer with aggressive tumor behavior. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective curative treatment for early stage HCC. This thermal ablation of liver tumor induces host immune response with changes in serum concentration of various cytokines. It is not clear whether this host immune response correlates with tumor recurrence and long-term patient survival. Objective: This prospective study is to investigate the change of cytokines' level following RFA or MWA for HCC and its clinical correlation with tumor recurrence and patients' long-term survival data. Hypothesis: Thermal ablation of HCC creates tumor antigen source for the generation of antitumor immunity and enhances host immune responses. The resulting inflammation and changes in cytokines may augment tumor cell death by increasing neutrophil infiltration and oxidative burst mechanisms. On the other hand, there may be negative effects via the production of growth factors, which could stimulate tumor cell growth within the sub-lethal margin. Therefore, the ultimate clinical consequences would be significantly affected by these immune responses. Study design: This is a prospective study on the measurement of changes of serum cytokines in patients with HCC undergone RFA or MWA using the commercially available kit (MILLIPEX, Human cytokine/chemokine magnetic bead panel - Immunology Multiplex Assay ), which measure 10 cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), TNF-α, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CCL2, CCL5. Statistical correlation will be performed between the cytokine change and long-term patients' clinical outcome using the prospectively collected database. Subjects: Patients with HCC undergone RFA or MWA in the Department of Surgery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong will be recruited. Exclusion criteria were evidence of extrahepatic metastasis, patients receiving combined hepatectomy and other local ablative therapy and patients with decompensated liver function that preclude local ablative treatment. Intervention: RFA or MWA will be performed for patients with HCC. The serum samples of all consecutive recruited patients will be collected prospectively during the intervention. The measurement of cytokines level will be performed in the Laboratory of Department of Chemical Pathology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the standard protocol. Main outcome measures: Primary outcome measure is early intrahepatic tumor recurrence within one year after thermal ablation. Secondary outcome measures are other tumor recurrence pattern (late intrahepatic recurrence and extrahepatic metastasis), overall survival and recurrence-free survival. Data analysis: All data will be prospectively collected by a research assistant and computerized in a database. Statistical analysis will be performed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, where appropriate, to compare discrete variables and Mann-Whitney U test to compare continuous variables. Cumulative survival will be computed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. Multivariable analysis using logistic regression model will be done to identify the independent prognostic factors affecting early tumor recurrence. Expected results: Understanding the relationship between the cytokines change during thermal ablation and post-treatment tumor recurrence helps to identify high risk patients for the possible adjuvant therapy in future study.
EASL and mRECIST criteria differ from each other in terms of the number of target lesions (all versus < = 2) and calculation method (bidimensional versus unidimensional). Therefore, the investigators aimed to retrospectively analyze and compare the clinical outcomes among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated with different modalities of therapy according to the BCLC classification, and detect the possible predictors of post-treatment outcomes.
We aim to evaluate liver stiffness as a marker of severity and duration of the underlying liver disease to predict for early HCC recurrence after treatment.
This is a Phase 1, single-arm, single-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NKG2D-based CAR-T cells infusion in the treatment of relapsed/refractory NKG2DL+ solid tumors.
Subjects with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, genotype 1 or 4 and with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a complete response to HCC therapy will be randomised to immediate or delayed (6 months) HCV therapy with Elbasvir (MK-8742) and Grazoprevir (MK-5172) [EBR/GZR].
