Filter by:The study will recruit 150 patients with HCV related HCC ,after HCC treatment the patients will undergo treatment with different regimens of DAAs.
To study if the addition of HAIC following complete removal of early stage liver cancer of HCC will prevent or delay the recurrence of the disease. Half of the participant will receive two cycles of the HAIC after the hepatectomy, while the other half will return to the baseline surveillance schedule.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 2D and 4D contrast enhanced ultrasound for monitoring transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) response 1-2 weeks and 1 month post treatment as an alternative to contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) imaging
This study is being carried out to assess the best dose of a new drug, called tefinostat, in treating liver cancer. Tefinostat is a new drug that blocks enzymes called histone deacetylases (pronounced dee-as-et-isle-azes). Cells need these enzymes to grow and divide. Blocking them may stop cancer growing. Drugs that block these enzymes are called histone deacetylase inhibitors or 'HDAC inhibitors'. Tefinostat has never been given to patients with liver cancer before so it isn't known which dose is best at treating liver cancer. To find this out the study will be testing one dose and if that is safe, then test a higher dose and so on. The aim of this study is to find the best dose of tefinostat without causing side effects. The study will be looking closely at any side effects patients might experience from this treatment.
We propose a radiomics approach to identify prognostic biomarkers of HCC and provide patients with some reasonable advice for their therapies.
The role of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the standard therapy for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is being challenged by increasing studies which showed that liver resection (LR) is a safe and feasible procedure with better survival outcomes than TACE does. In light of this, the investigators have constructed a Markov model to simulate comparing LR and TACE in the treatment of intermediate-stage HCC. The results suggested that LR may provide survival benefit over TACE for the treatment of intermediate-stage HCC in cirrhotic patients. However, validating the simulated result by a study with higher quality (e.g. prospective clinical trial) would be of great value in providing a more convincing finding. Therefore, based on the established Markov model, the investigators aimed to prospectively compare the treatment efficacy and safety of LR with TACE for consecutive patients with intermediate-stage HCC.
The purpose of the study is to observe the effect of sorafenib combined with aspirin in preventing the recurrence in high-risk patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Patients enrolled in this study have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and are scheduled to have a procedure called drug-eluting bead trans-arterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). During the DEB-TACE procedure, very small beads are mixed in with a chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, and delivered to the tumor through an arterial catheter. The DEB-TACE procedure allows the treatment to be delivered directly into the liver. It also causes arterial embolization, the process in which a blood vessel is blocked. Treatment of HCC using DEB-TACE may help delay tumor progression and can downstage (decrease the size) the cancer in order to meet the criteria which may allow patients to become candidates for liver transplantation. The purpose of this study is to compare tumor response and medical outcomes for patients who undergo DEB-TACE with standard endhole catheter versus Surefire® Infusion System.
The main objective of the project is to bring the existing radio frequency ablation (RFA) model for liver cancer treatment (Project IMPPACT, Grant No. 223877, completed in February 2012) into clinical practice. Therefore the project will pursue the following objectives: i) to prove and refine the RFA model in a small clinical study; ii) to develop the model into a real-time patient specific RFA planning and support system for Interventional Radiologists (IR) under special consideration of their clinical workflow needs; iii) to establish a corresponding training procedure for IR's; iv) to evaluate the clinical practicality and benefit of the model for use in the routine workflow in a user survey and expert forum.
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic outcomes and safety of the study patients who received radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using separable clustered electrodes with those of a matched historical control group who had received RFA using multiple internally-cooled electrodes.
