Filter by:This study is about TAK-500, given either alone or with pembrolizumab, in adults with select locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The aims of the study are: - to assess the safety profile of TAK-500 when given alone and when given with pembrolizumab. - to assess the anti-tumor effects of TAK-500, when given alone and when given with pembrolizumab, in adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Participants may receive TAK-500 for up to 1 year. Participants may continue with their treatment if they have continuing benefit and if this is approved by their study doctor. Participants who are receiving TAK-500 either alone or with pembrolizumab will continue with their treatment until their disease progresses or until they or their study doctor decide they should stop this treatment.
The primary objective is to assess overall sensitivity and specificity of Oncoguard™ Liver for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) detection in a surveillance population.
Background: A new cancer treatment takes a person s own T cells, modifies them in a laboratory so they can better fight cancer cells, and then gives them back to the person. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help people with a certain type of liver cancer. Objective: To see if a personalized immune treatment, anti-GPC3 CAR-T cells, is safe. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who have Glypican-3 (GPC3) positive HCC, a type of liver cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Blood and urine tests Medical history Physical exam Heart function tests Review of their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities Tumor biopsy Imaging scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Participants will have leukapheresis. They may have an IV (intravenous catheter, a small tube put into an arm vein) inserted into each arm or get a central line. Blood will be removed. A machine will separate the white blood cells from their blood. The rest of their blood will be returned to them. Participants will be admitted to the hospital for about 2 weeks. They will get the chemotherapy drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide by IV for 3 days. Then they will receive the modified white blood cells by IV. Participants will have frequent blood draws. They will give blood and tumor samples for research. Participants will have follow-up visits for the next 15 years. Then they will be contacted by email or phone for the rest of their life. If their disease does not get worse after 5 years, they will continue to be invited to do imaging studies every 6 months.
This is a single arm phase II study of adjuvant intra-dermal NA DC vaccine combined with intravenous nivolumab in patients with resectable HCC (group A) or CRLM (group B) planned for curative surgery (with/without local ablation).
This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients who are attending for a planned liver outpatient services or investigations will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed to establish volatile biomarkers that can discriminate between fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
PLATON (Platform for Analyzing Targetable Mutations) is a prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study with biobanking. In a first approach PLATON's pilot-study assesses genomic profiling in gastrointestinal cancer therapy and the frequencies of targetable mutations including Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability Status (MSI), performing Next-generation deep sequencing (NGS) using the Foundation Medicine assays on tumor specimen and EDTA-whole blood samples. The Study Protocol does not define any further medical intervention or evaluate the efficacy or safety of the treatment decision made by the investigator. Another important objective of PLATON's pilot project is to evaluate whether and how many patients are treated based on their genomic profiles.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer. Patients with HCCs usually have a poor prognosis. Hepatocarcinogenesis is an intricate and multistep process. Detecting and staging early HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis are still challenging for imaging techniques. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) are widely used in clinical practice. EOB-MRI has advantages of high detecting rate for small lesions, high sensitivity of hepatobiliary phase and extensive image information. Sonazoid has the advantage of offering a unique post-vascular phase, also called the Kupffer phase. Therefore, malignant tumors with few or no Kupffer cells appear as contrast defects, with respect to the relatively well-enhanced surrounding liver in the postvascular phase. The diagnostic efficacies of these two imaging methods have not been well studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacies of Sonazoid-CEUS and EOB-MRI in patients with high risk of HCC, and to compare the detection ability for malignant tumors by Kupffer phase and hepatobiliary phase.
This is an open, prospective, single-arm, multi-cohort clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose vitamin C combined with metformin in the treatment of malignant tumors.
Patients with HCC with portal vein involvement not involving the bifurcation (vP1-vP3) and no evidence of extra-hepatic spread will be enrolled. Patients will be required to have Child's A liver function and no significant portal hypertension. Patients will be randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to either surgery followed by adjuvant sorafenib or sorafenib alone. Patients will be followed by serial imaging. The primary end-point is overall survival.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. Most people with advanced HCC survive an average of 6 to 9 months. Researchers are evaluating a combination of treatment drugs to delay the progression of HCC; aiming to help people with HCC live longer. Objective: To study the 6-month progression-free survival in people with advanced HCC treated with bevacizumab, durvalumab, and TACE. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with intermediate or advanced HCC Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will have tests to evaluate their hearts as well as blood and urine. A CT and/or MRI scans will be done during the study. If a prior tumor sample is not available; participants may undergo a biopsy. They may undergo an endoscopy of their esophagus and stomach. Participants will get the study drugs in 21-day cycles: Two treatment drugs will be injected into a vein every 3 weeks. Patients will have an interventional treatment procedure done by interventional radiology under sedation; chemotherapy beads will be infused into artery branches in the liver. Participants may have to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation, after this procedure. This interventional procedure may be done more than once during the study. Participants may need to repeat some of the screening tests throughout the study. Participants may have to stop taking some of their cancer treatment drugs during the study. Participants will continue on the study until their cancer progresses or until the side effects of the treatment drugs are not tolerable.
