Filter by:A Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who failed prior treatment with sorafenib using a Simon's 2-stage design. A set minimum number of patients must demonstrate disease control at 16 weeks to proceed to Stage 2. At Stage 2, a set number of patients must have disease control at 16 weeks to declare that SGI-110 is of interest in the treatment of advanced HCC after failure of prior sorafenib.
This study is a Phase 1 and pharmacologic open-labeled dose-escalation trial using a "3+3" design, evaluating MM-141 at varying dose levels and frequencies.
This Phase II trial is being developed following the completion of a Phase I study of the combination of temsirolimus and sorafenib in 25 first-line therapy patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (December 2009 through April 2012). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the combination of temsirolimus is 10 mg IV weekly plus sorafenib 200 mg (oral, twice daily).
This is an exploratory study, national, unicentric, double-blind, to be conducted at the Institute for Teaching and Research of the Hospital Sírio-Libanês in order to detect possible autonomic responses resulting from Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields of Low Energy (EEFLE) in healthy subjects and in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma or in patients with advanced breast carcinoma. Autonomic responses have been described in patients with cancer during the exposure of EEFLE. This autonomic response, or biofeedback, due to exposure to EEFLE seems to be associated with a specific set of modulation frequencies when applied to patients with malignancies. Moreover, healthy individuals exposed to modulated EEFLE a specific set of frequency do not appear to autonomic response. Biofeedback is defined by a change in amplitude of the radial pulse during exposure to EEFLE, modulated according to a set of specific frequencies. This phenomenon is not yet fully elucidated. In exploratory survey of one patient was observed a change of the pressure pulse immediately after the start of and during exposure to EEFLE, modulated according to a set of specific frequencies recorded by digital photoplethysmography. This study aims to evaluate an autonomic response in individuals exposed in a single moment, by electromagnetic fields. This study does not intend to study a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. For this reason, evolutive clinical data will not be considered during and after the study.
STA-9090 works by inhibiting the function of a protein in tumor cells called Hsp90. Hsp90 is thought to play a role in tumor growth. By interfering with this protein's function, STA-9090 may help kill tumor cells. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those studies suggests that this agent may help to slow tumor growth in HCC. The purpose of this research study is to find the highest dose of STA-9090 that can safely be given to participants with advanced HCC. The investigators will also get more information about the safety of STA-9090 and perform tests to learn more about how STA-9090 affects the body.
Our long-term objective is to develop a new tool based on a (molecular-biology) integrated imaging technology able to characterize and categorize hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in need of liver transplant (LT). To this end, our study aims at correlating specific imaging traits and fractional growth of individual tumors collected over a restricted time frame (T0 and at week 7 after first tumor detection), with a "molecular signature", obtained by custom microarray, histochemical and cytokine analysis. This should allow us to translate a series of purely morphologic information into a meaningful pathobiologic data sets. Validation of the integrated molecular-imaging tool will be performed prospectively by correlating the imaging-molecular data with HCC outcome in term of survival and disease-free survival after down staging procedures.
This phase II study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hypofractionated proton beam therapy (PBT) for HCC patients in hepatitis B endemic area.
The purpose of this study is to confirm that Ulinastatin is a safe and effective drug and it can reduce the incidence of postoperative hepatic failure in HCC patients. To evaluate that Ulinastatin can improve survival in HCC patients or not.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a collaborative care intervention to manage cancer-related symptoms and improve health related quality of life in patients diagnosed with hepatobiliary carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the diagnostic value of Xenetix-CT perfusion for the discrimination between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and poorly/moderately differentiated HCC, in histo-pathologically proven HCC, and with the aim to cover the entire liver.
