Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine that adjuvant systemic chemotherapy is superior to adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in prolonging recurrence free survival（RFS） in patients after radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
This study is a randomized, open-label, controlled study that will explore the efficacy of individualized adjuvant chemotherapy based on the adenosine triphosphate tumor chemosensitivity assay for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if nivolumab or sorafenib is more effective in the treatment of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
This is an open label, multi-center, randomized phase I/II study of MLN0128 versus standard sorafenib. Eligible subjects in the phase I trial will receive MLN0128 in escalating doses. Eligible subjects in the phase II trial will be 1:1 randomized to either the MLN0128 arm or the sorafenib arm.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of ramucirumab plus MEDI4736 in participants with locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal or thoracic malignancies including gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Sorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor with antiproliferative and antiangiogenic effects used as systemic treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Although sorafenib has demonstrated many clinical benefits in patients, its adverse cannot be ignores. This drug occasionally causes severe adverse events (AEs), which include hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), hypertension, diarrhea, anorexia, fatigue, weight loss, and so on. Although most adverse events are reversible, they can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and occasionally result in dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy Patients are also more likely to remain on treatment if they are guided over the difficult initial 4~6wks of therapy during which time the development of adverse events following sorafenib treatment initiation are most likely to occur. Patient education, proactive management and establishing and maintaining open communication between patients and the nurse are crucial to the effective management of these adverse events. This study design is a randomized controlled trial and 64 patients will be randomized to one of 2 groups in a 1:1 ratio. 32 patients will be enrolled into the controlled group and the rest of 32 patients will be enrolled into the intervention group. The intervention group will be received the routine telephone calls of six times at intervals of once a week during 10~15 minutes (from a well-trained nurse) The purpose of this study is to confirm whether an effective intervention that telephone counseling and education by a nurse can increase drug compliance for patients with HCC who is taking Sorafenib and is to use for developing individual educational program as a fundamental data that can be applied for patients taking Sorafenib after investigating patient satisfaction by "The Satisfaction with information about Medicines Scale(SIMS)" tool.
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that present a mixed T-NK phenotype. Our hypothesis is that Natural killer T cells may decrease the tumor burden and improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Natural killer T (NKT) cells are effective and safe in the treatment of patients with unresectable advanced solid tumor.
The purpose of the phase 1b portion is to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine a recommended phase 2 dose for TRC105 when added to standard dose sorafenib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Up to 18 patients will be treated. The purpose of the phase 2 portion is to estimate the ORR of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma by RECIST 1.1. Up to 21 patients will be treated in phase 2.
The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible to establish a relationship between the blood flow and blood volume of liver tumors from CT body perfusion and the radiation dose deposited in the tumors from the radioembolization treatment as measured by PET/CT. The study will do this by: 1. Measuring the blood flow and blood volume of tumors in the imaging data from a CT body perfusion 2. Measuring the radioactivity in the tumors after the radioembolization treatment using PET/CT and then calculating the dose deposited in the tumor 3. Using statistical analysis to assess the relationship between the dose and the perfusion parameters In addition, the research may help develop a method for calculating the dose of radioembolization to be delivered to a liver tumor(s) using blood volume and blood flow data obtained from the CT body perfusion scans.
This study is aiming to understand the effects of parecoxib on the postoperative complications of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing hepatic transcatheter arterial embolization (TACE). The investigators enrolled 242 patients who were diagnosed with HCC for the first time and who received hepatic TACE at the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Sun Yat-sen University from October 2014 to March 2015 were prospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into study and control groups according to whether parecoxib sodium was administered postoperatively. Pain scores,body temperature, vomiting, and changes in liver function after surgery, as well as the length of the hospital stay, were recorded and compared.
