Filter by:A single-arm, open-label clinical trial to assess the effects and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients at high risk of post surgery recurrence.
This project is based on the assumption that the nurse coordinators of the centres have common missions at each of the key stages of patient care. These missions make the care plan more fluid and improve the quality and safety of care as well as the patient's prognosis. The Hypothesis is that co-follow-up by a doctor and a nurse coordinator reduces time between referral to treatment, average lengths of stay, unscheduled readmissions or early emergency visits, compared to follow-up that does not involve a nurse coordinator.
This is a phase 2 study that will assess the investigational drug, cabozantinib, in patients with liver cancer (specifically hepatocellular carcinoma) and who had received a liver transplant as a part of curative care, but the cancer has come back (recurred). The purpose of this study is to see how useful cabozantinib is in controlling the disease of these patients. Cabozantinib blocks the function of various proteins found on the surface of the body's cells (called receptor tyrosine kinases) that are important in the development of cancer tumors. All participants will receive cabozantinib until they are no longer receiving benefit from the study drug or they experience an intolerable side effect.
Liver cancer is a clinically high-grade malignant tumor, and the current incidence rate is increasing year by year. It has become the third most malignant tumor after gastric cancer and lung cancer, and has a high mortality rate. The patient's five-year survival rate is less than 8.5%, which the second leading cause of cancer death is a serious threat to the health of patients. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment plan for liver cancer. With the development of medical technology, the clinical efficacy of liver cancer has been significantly improved, but postoperative recurrence has not been effectively controlled. According to statistics, the recurrence rate of liver cancer after 5 years is as high as 77.0%. Even for small liver cancer resection, the recurrence rate is 40.0%~50.0% within 5 years after operation. At the same time, for recurrent liver cancer, surgical resection is still the preferred treatment plan, but affected by the location, size, distal metastasis and multi-center pathogenesis of liver cancer, only 10.4%~31.0% can be surgically removed. In recent years, RFA has been widely used in liver cancer and recurrent liver cancer due to its unique advantages such as minimally invasive, simple operation, wide indication, reproducible, low cost, and accepted by patients, and has achieved satisfactory results. However, study found that because of the special location of recurrent liver cancer, its multi-center origin, and the characteristics of intrahepatic micrometastasis, it is often accompanied by microvascular tumor thrombus (MVI), which greatly increases the risk of liver cancer recurrence. Moreover, since the treatment of RFA can only be effective for the local detection of recurrent foci, and the effect of detecting small lesions is poor, there is a higher risk of recurrence. The use of radiation therapy is getting more and more attention, and it is changing from the past palliative treatment to current curable treatment. From an oncologic point of view, a narrow margin <1 cm and microvascular invasion is not safe and is often associated with higher rates of recurrence and shorter patient survival. On the other hand, it is also believed that most intrahepatic recurrences arise from multicentric carcinogenesis and are distant from the resection margin. Whether combined radiotherapy and RFA treatment of liver cancer and recurrent liver cancer can further improve the clinical efficacy, there are few reports. Therefore, the short-term and long-term effects of radiotherapy combined with RFA in the treatment of liver cancer and recurrent liver cancer are studied to provide guidance for clinical treatment.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and efficacy of fisogatinib (formerly known as BLU-554) in combination with CS1001 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, phase III study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Nofazinlimab (CS1003) in combination with lenvatinib and placebo in combination with lenvatinib in the treatment of subjects with no prior systemic treatment and with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Subjects cannot be eligible for locoregional therapy. In this study, Nofazinlimab (CS1003) (or placebo) and lenvatinib are both considered as the study treatment while Nofazinlimab (CS1003) (or placebo) is the investigational product of and lenvatinib is selected as the basic treatment for HCC.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy, and its incidence is expected to increase in many countries in coming decades. Approximately 70-80% of newly diagnosed HCC patients already have advanced disease. Sorafenib and lenvatinib are recommended as first-line options for advanced HCC, the median overall survival of the patients with advanced HCC receiving sorafenib reached 10.7 months. Based on the results of phase II clinical studies and the recommendation of guidelines, the PD-1 monoclonal antibody, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, have been approved to treat the patients with advanced HCC by the FDA. PD-1 monoclonal antibody has been recommended as a second-line therapeutic strategy for HCC in the 2018 CSCO guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancer. However, the results of existing studies indicate that the objective response rate (ORR) of first-line PD-1 antibody therapy for patients with advanced liver cancer is about 20%. There is a growing recognition of radiation-induced cancer cells-external tumor control mechanisms, in which radiation therapy(RT) contributes not only to local control of target lesions, but also to the control of metastases away from the treatment site. In recent years, RT combined with immunotherapy as a new treatment method has achieved certain curative effect in some patients with metastatic cancer. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the efficacy of combining radiation therapy plus systemic anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one of the most frequent respiratory diseases, could represent a major worsening factor in a non alcoholic steatohepatitis and neoplastic context. Our hypothesis is that OSA promotes the prevalence of HCC related to NASH. This national, multicenter study aims to compare the prevalence of OSA in a group of patient curatively resected for NASH-related HCC with a group of HCV-related HCC.
The complex management of hepatocellular carcinoma has prompted many learned societies to issue their management recommendations or decision-making algorithms to best assist in the therapeutic decision-making of patients with HCC. Over time, the use of the BCLC algorithm (for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer) has become essential, at least in the West, thanks to a relatively simple and applicable classification system, and the clinical validation of numerous studies. The BCLC algorithm thus relies on the general condition of the patient, the CHILD-PUGH score reflecting hepatic function, and the tumor extension to propose one or more therapeutic solutions according to the level of scientific evidence, associating with each one. subgroups the expected survival. While this BCLC classification has the merit of having the protocol for the management of HCC, thus avoiding many drifts related to possible local preferences, it also has many defects. For example, this classification is only rarely updated, which limits the integration of innovative therapies. Then, its design and updates were supported by the recommendations of a limited group of experts that is not necessarily representative of all the key players present daily in the management of CHC. Finally, some studies have begun to point out that this classification was interesting from a theoretical point of view, but that in practice the diversity of complex situations meant that its care recommendations were not applicable in a significant number of cases. The objective of our study is to analyze the applicability of the BCLC classification in real-life situations. To overcome possible "center effects", the investigators analyzed in an exhaustive way the therapeutic decisions taken during the multi-disciplinary consultation meetings of 2018 and 2019 at the level of a large French region, by relying on the regional network of OncoOccitanie Oncology Record. In a second step, the investigators will analyze the causes of the discrepancies to finally propose an improvement of this BCLC classification.
This is an open-label, historically controlled pilot study investigating the immune effect of Laser Interstitial ThermotHerapy (LITT)+ pembrolizumab in adult patients with a primary cancer approved by the FDA for treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor who have recurrent brain metastasis after prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
