Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early clinical activity of INCB099280 in participants with select solid tumors
This is a non-interventional and questionnaire survey study. The investigators try to find out patient's willingness and expectation for post-operative treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as patients' willingness to participate in clinical trials using a questionnaire. The ultimate goal is to assist physicians in clinical treatment decision, clinical research, and government health and economic decision-making, as well as to help investigators understand how to increase public awareness of the HCC and the treatment course and efficacy of HCC, and the awareness of clinical trials.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in the treatment of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.
A multicenter open-label phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SO-C101 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors
The main purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of the new adjuvant treatment of curative HCC, or the treatment of long-acting interferon P1101 alone, or the use of long-acting interferon P1101 and subsequent treatment of anti-PD1, and any efficacy in reducing the recurrence rate of patients after surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to confirm safety and efficacy of BioPearl™ microspheres loaded with doxorubicin in the treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) based on drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) is widely used for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the long-term survival is still low after DEB-TACE treatment. In recent years, lenvatinib and anti-PD-1 have exhibited potential therapeutic effects for advanced HCC. And sorafenib is the standard drug for advanced HCC. Combining targeted drugs or immunotherapies with DEB-TACE may provide synergistic effects and facilitate the development of personalized medicine. Therefore, this prospective study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of DEB-TACE plus sorafenib or lenvatinib or PD-1 Inhibitor for unresectable HCC.
The study comprises a main study of pembro-treated HCC patients and a sub-study of untreated HCC patients. In the main study, patients will be treated with pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant treatment approximately 4 weeks prior scheduled surgery. Adjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab with commence at approximately 4 weeks post-surgery for up to 12 months. Subjects will be followed up for a further 12 months after end of treatment for recurrence and survival. The sub-study is a tumour sample collection study which will provide pre-treatment immune microenvironment data from up to 15 pairs of HCC/adjuvant liver tissue samples. Translational analyses performed for liver tissue samples in the sub-study will be harmonized with the analyses on liver tissue samples collected in the main study.
Due to providing valuable clinical information while being minimally invasive, blood-based testing will most likely be a prerequisite for future large-scale screening of high-risk populations. As a variety of pathological processes, including carcinogenesis, may cause changes in both the concentration and the structure and spatial arrangement of body biomolecules, the spectroscopic analysis of blood-based derivatives appears to be an appropriate tool for the early detection thereof. The differences observed in the spectral response of healthy individuals and patients may also be specific to a particular type/stage of the disease and, thus, may serve as a reliable diagnostic marker. In order to find sufficiently specific and sensitive biomarkers of early stages of degenerative and cancerous diseases, the co-applicant group at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Chemistry and Technology Prague (UCT Prague), developed a unique approach for the spectroscopic analysis of blood plasma. Using the highly specialized, structure-sensitive methods of chiroptical spectroscopy (electronic circular dichroism - ECD, Raman optical activity - ROA) combined with conventional infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, the first pilot studies yielded promising results with respect to the identification of spectral markers for pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and type 1 diabetes mellitus. In addition, metabolomics appears to be a very progressive approach to finding potentially suitable molecules to distinguish between healthy and cancer-affected individuals. Therefore, the investigators believes that this multimodal approach will allow for the identification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In our research, the focus will be on the identification of novel biomarkers in blood plasma that would exhibit sufficient sensitivity and specificity to detect early and potentially curable HCC stages, and that would be potentially useful for routine screening of this disease in well-defined at-risk groups.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, its survival rate ranks only second to lung cancer and it is a severe threat to human health. In Egypt, HCC constitutes a significant public health problem. Where it is responsible for 33.63% and 13.54% of all cancers in males and females respectively. It has a poor prognosis after discovery, which is usually at a late stage of disease. This had been strongly linked to the hepatitis C virus epidemic that affected around 10-15% of the Egyptian population during the last 3 decades, and was reported as the highest prevalence of HCV in the world. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved remain unclear. The occurrence of HCC is a complicated process involving multiple genes and steps. Imbalances in cellular signal transduction pathways, deficiencies in DNA repair regulating genes, activation of protooncogenes, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and epigenetic modifications all promote the occurrence of liver cancer.
