A study to describe real-world treatment patterns and overall survival in advanced liver cancer participants who received second or third line nivolumab therapy
The current first-line treatment for HBV is long-term oral antiviral drugs to inhibit HBV DNA replication. First-line antiviral drugs recommended by the Chinese 2015 Hepatitis B Guidelines include ETV and TDF. This study is based on a real-world clinical cohort to retrospectively analyze the effects of ETV and TDF on the long-term (5-year) incidence of HCC in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B with compensated cirrhosis. The results will guide the revision of the Chinese HBV guidelines.
Based on the overwhelming positive response to this survey and the large number of patients being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in the UPMC system, the investigators are proposing a trial that will randomize patients who have disease stability to stop treatment at 1 year or continue treatment until disease progression. The investigators anticipate that the results of this study will answer questions regarding the optimal duration of treatment. therapy.
A single-arm, open-label clinical trial, focus on the safety and efficacy of anlotinib hydrochloride in combination with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in patients with middle-advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)
Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in China, and its incidence rate ranks third and remains high. The treatment of liver cancer has made some progress in recent years, mainly the progress of radical treatment such as surgery and ablation. For liver cancer, due to the emergence of molecularly targeted drugs such as sorafenib and immunological checkpoint inhibitors, the systemic therapeutic effect of advanced liver cancer is improved, and the curative effect is further improved. In recent years, immunotherapy has become one of the clinical treatment options for cancer. T lymphocytes are a cell with cell killing ability in the immune system, and programmed death factor 1 (PD-1) is an important inhibitory receptor on the surface of T lymphocytes. It is known that the ligands of PD-1 are PD-L1 and PD-L2, and studies have found that a variety of tumor cells have high expression of PD-L1 ligand on the surface. At present, clinical research on target drugs for PD-1 has included dozens of solid tumors or hematological tumors. The results of clinical studies that have been completed and the interim results of some studies indicate that anti-PD-1 antibody drugs are more effective and safer than previous treatments. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often undergo liver cancer resection, but the recurrence rate can reach 70% to 100%, which seriously affects the treatment outcome and long-term survival rate. Early recurrence of liver cancer is mainly related to the invasiveness of the tumor. Microvascular invasion, non-anatomical hepatectomy, AFP greater than 32 ng/ml, tumor diameter greater than 5 cm, and incomplete tumor capsule are risk factors for recurrence within 2 years after surgery. Hence, it is necessary to determine the risk factors for HCC recurrence and the markers for continuous monitoring of anti-tumor response before and after surgery. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is an integral part of "liquid biopsy" and has great potential to change the current treatment modality in the cancer field. CTCs are derived from solid tumors and are associated with hematogenous metastasis. Therefore, analyzing the level of CTC has clinical guiding significance. For liver cancer patients, overall survival (OS) tended to be poorer in patients with CTCs. Although surgical treatment of liver cancer has benefited most patients with liver cancer, monitoring postoperative recurrence, further improving the long-term prognosis of liver cancer, postoperative detection of CTCs and other related indicators, combined with targeted, immune and other related treatments for further study. It is expected to receive 100 patients (50 treatment groups, 50 control groups). Patients who underwent immunotherapy after surgery were assigned to the immunotherapy group, and patients who were not treated with sorafenib after surgery were classified as the control group. All patients underwent 7 CTCs tests (immunomagnetic beads negative enrichment-targeted PCR) before, 7 days after surgery and 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th postoperatively. All patients were observed from the observation period. After the liver cancer resection, the patient was observed to have died, lost to follow-up or the end of the study.
This study tests the hypothesis that use of the research RFA (Radiofrequency ablation) Physics Library will result in more frequent technical success (complete necrotization of target tissues) compared to ablations conducted without computer guidance. The RFA Physics Library -- a Planning and Guidance Platform (PGP) (NE Scientific, LLC) -- will be used to support percutaneous liver RFA under CT-guidance by assisting physicians in the identification of ablation targets, assessment of proper ablation probe placement, and projection of the created ablation zones on the CT image.
The purpose of the study is to find out if a study agent called Lumason® microbubbles may be helpful for people with lesions in the liver. It is possible it may help determine an early response to radioembolization and/or help demonstrate radiation toxicity to the surrounding liver.
The study is aimed to the test efficacy and safety of neoantigen-primed dendritic cell (DC) cell vaccine therapy for postoperative locally advanced gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer and colorectal cancer, and to explore the biomarkers related to efficacy and adverse event.
Background: Primary Liver Cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is the cancer with the fastest rising incidence and mortality in the United States. Researchers want to learn more about liver cancer to help them design better treatments. Objective: To better understand liver cancer. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have liver cancer and had or are planning to have immune therapy Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. They will be asked about their medical history and test results. Participants will come to the NIH Clinical Center. During this visit, their medical records, test results, imaging studies, and tissue samples (if available) will be gathered. Participants will learn the results of a test to see if they have any mutations known to be connected to cancer. They will learn if there are treatment options for them. Participants will give blood, urine, and stool samples or rectal swabs. Participants will not have follow-up visits just for this study. If they join another NIH research study and have visits for this other study, their medical records; test results; and blood, urine, and stool samples may be collected. This will occur about every 3 months. If they have a biopsy or surgery on another study or as part of treatment and there is leftover tissue, researchers would like to collect some of that tissue. Participants will be contacted every 6 months by phone or e-mail. They will be asked about their health. They will provide any medical records, test results, and imaging studies. Participants will be followed on this study for life.
