Filter by:The investigation is a randomized, double-blind, placebo involved and multi-center clinical trial. All subjects are assigned to 4 groups, including 3mg, 6mg, 12mg per day and placebo group. Each group includes 25 subjects, who have hepatic-cellular carcinoma accompanied with branch vein thrombosis. They receive investigational drug 40 days after resection surgery. Each cycle lasts 4 to 6 days with an interval of 29 days in all 6 cycles.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the liver. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the traditional method for the palliative management of patients with HCC. Few previous studies had demonstrated that the serum level of anticancer drug from patients treated by TACE was similar to those treated by systemic chemotherapy. The defense ability of the patient treated by TACE may thus be influenced by the leakage of anticancer drug to the systemic circulation. Since more than 80% patients with HCC also have liver cirrhosis, the toxicity for those anticancer drugs with hepatic transformation will be increased caused by the cirrhotic liver. The severity of pancytopenia in cirrhosis will be exacerbated by the effect of bone marrow suppression caused by anticancer drugs. Patients are at high risk for infection and hemorrhage. Therefore, it is of clinical importance to prevent or decrease the leakage of anticancer drugs to systemic circulation in patients treated by TACE. The procedures of TACE performed by previous studies were not constant and the distributions of tumor vessels were not evaluated in detail. The possible risk factors for the leakage of anticancer drug have not been investigated. This project will collect 60 patients with HCC including 30 patients with hepatitis B and 30 patients with hepatitis C. The blood levels of anticancer drugs (epirubicin, mitomycin C and cisplatin) will be determined within one hour and at the third day after TACE.
The prognosis of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection varies from minimal progressive liver disease to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Both viral and host genetic factors contribute to disease severity. Cytokine gene polymorphism has been regarded affecting prognosis of disease. By detecting HBV genotyping and tumor necrosis factor-alpha polymorphism, this study aime to assess their effects and interaction on disease severity of HBV-related chronic liver disease and HCC.
By detecting polymorphisms of IL-1β and TNF-α,this study aims to find the effects of cytokine gene polymorphisms(and their interaction) on susceptibility and severity of HBV-related HCC.
Although serum alpha-fetoprotein level and abdominal sonography are the main methods to screening hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients, the adequate time and methods used are not completely well-defined. This study aims to assess the better timing and methods for prospectively screening HCC in patients with cirrhosis
A study to determine how long ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) will stop cancer from growing in participants with liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgery.
The purpose of this study is to use Sorafenib + 5-FU to evaluate activity, efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
For patients with advanced HCC not suitable for resection or liver transplantation but without extrahepatic manifestations, local therapy with TACE is regarded as standard treatment. The present study is planned to evaluate the combination of TACE and sorafenib. A combination of TACE with a multitarget inhibitor like sorafenib may further improve the outcome of patients with HCC.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ThermoDox, a thermally sensitive liposomal doxorubicin, is effective in the treatment of non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma when used in conjunction with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
This study is designed to evaluate the possible benefits and side effects of the use of proton therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
