View clinical trials related to Hepatoblastoma.
Filter by:the primary histologic origin of extracranial solid tumors in children is malignant embryonic cells, including Neuroblastoma (NB) , Hepatoblastoma(HB), and kidney, wilms' tumor(WT). Their main clinical symptoms are large abdominal masses, the most common lymph node metastasis . NB accounts for 15% of childhood cancer deaths, but some low-risk NB can disappear on its own. The International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS) was used to determine Risk before NB treatment, whereas the INRGSS was entirely based on the Neuroblastoma diagnosis, illustrating the importance of imaging in the assessment of NB.18F-FDG is the most commonly used agent in PET imaging of tumor. It can reflect the glucose metabolism of tumor and is widely used in the diagnosis, staging, evaluation of curative effect and prognosis prediction of tumor In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI images from patients with NB, HB, and WT. The investigators sought to assess whether these images provide useful information for diagnosis and prognosis.
Analyze the diagnostic efficiency (including performance, diameter, and location of nodules) of UTE-MRI in lung metastases of hepatoblastoma with chest CT as gold standard
Although hepatic tumors are uncommon in the perinatal period they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in affected patients. The study is intended to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or antagonist-II(PIVKA-II) combining with alpha-fetoprotein in hepatic tumor of infant. This study is a multicenter study joined by several hospitals in China. Participants including hepatoblastoma, hepatic hemangioendothelioma and healthy control are consecutively recruited into the cohort. All the serum samples are collected before and after each treatment and will be tested in single center in order to decrease bias. Serum samples were tested for PIVKA-II, alpha-fetoprotein and biochemical indexes including alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), alpha-l-fucosidase(AFU), etc.
This is a Phase I trial with new experimental drugs such as simvastatin in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide in the hopes of finding a drug that may work against tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. This study will define toxicity of high dose simvastatin in combination with topotecan and cyclophosphamide and evaluate for cholesterol levels and IL6/STAT3 pathway changes as biomarkers of patient response.
This is a standard of care treatment guideline for high risk or relapsed solid tumors or CNS tumors consisting of a busulfan, melphalan, thiotepa conditioning (for solid tumors) or carboplatin and thiotepa conditioning (for CNS tumors) followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. For solid tumors, if appropriate, disease specific radiation therapy at day +60. For CNS tumors, the conditioning regimen and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant will be given for 3 cycles.
This research trial is studying biomarkers in tissue samples from young patients with liver cancer. Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
The best treatment for recurrent cancers or those that do not respond to therapies is not known. Typically, patients with these cancers receive a combination of cancer drugs (chemotherapy), surgery, or radiation therapy. These treatments can prolong their life but may not offer a long-term cure. This study proposes using a drug called Sirolimus in combination with common chemotherapy drugs to treat patients with recurrent and refractory solid tumors. Sirolimus has been found to inhibit cell growth and to have anti-tumor activity in pediatric solid tumors in previous studies and, therefore, has the potential to increase the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drugs when given together. This study wil investigate the highest dose of Sirolimus that can be given orally with other oral chemotherapy drugs. Cohorts of 2 subjects will be started at the minimum dose. The dose will be increased in the next 2 subjects as long as there were no major reactions in the previous groups. This study will also seek to learn more about the side effects of sirolimus when used in this combination and what effects the drug has on the white cells and the immune system. Successful use of this drug will impact the cancer population greatly by providing an increased chance of survival to those with resistant or recurrent cancers.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects of and how well alisertib works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. Alisertib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Phase I dose-escalation study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LDE225 given orally on a daily dosing schedule in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, or other tumors potentially dependent on Hedgehog signaling pathway. Phase II study is to assess preliminary efficacy in both adult and pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory MB.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well cixutumumab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, 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.
