Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well perflutren protein-type A microspheres and contrast-enhanced ultrasound work in improving response to radioembolization therapy in patients with liver cancer. Ultrasound contrast agents, such as perflutren protein-type A microspheres, use gas microbubbles to improve image quality. Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging will "pop" these microbubbles and cause tumors to become more sensitive to radiation therapies.
Microvascular invasion (MVI) has been well demonstrated as an unfavorable prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and patients with MVI have a high risk of tumor recurrence after curative hepatectomy. Currently, the diagnosis of MVI is determined on the postoperative histologic examination, which greatly limits its influence on preoperative decision making. Therefore, we constructed this prospective study to develop a machine learning-based model for preoperative prediction of MVI by extracting high-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) image features.
The third/fourth generation of CAR-T cells that target GPC3 (GPC3-CART cell) and/or soluble TGFβ (GPC3/TGFβ-CART )have been constructed and their anti-HCC function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test the anti-cancer function by the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cells in human HCC patients with GPC3 expression. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be tested.
Background and Aims: Arrival of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents against hepatitis C virus (HCV) with high-sustained virological response (SVR) rates and very few side effects has drastically changed the management of HCV infection. The impact of DAA exposure on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after a first remission in patients with advanced fibrosis remains to be clarified. Methods: 68 consecutive HCV patients with a first HCC diagnosis and under remission, subsequently treated or not with a DAA combination, were included. Clinical, biological, and virological data were collected at first HCC diagnosis, at remission and during the surveillance period.
To compare the impact on recurrence risk of adjuvant TAI and adjuvant TACE for patients with HCC and PVTT after hepatectomy.
To compare The Impact on Recurrence Risk of Adjuvant Transarterial Chemoinfusion (TAI) for Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma And Microvascular Invasion (MVI) After Hepatectomy.
This study investigates the safety/toxicity and potential anti-tumor activity of sequential administration of nivolumab and escalating doses of the mTOR inhibitor ABI-009 in advanced Ewing's sarcoma, PEComa, epithelioid sarcoma, desmoid tumor, chordoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urethelial carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer, and tumors with genetic mutations sensitive to mTOR inhibitors
Combined hepatocellular and mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-MFCCC) is a rare tumor. The aim of this study was the analysis of the outcome comparing such tumor with classic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (MFCCC).
This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the cutaneous effect of systemic inhibition of the tyrosine kinase pathway in the presence or absence of solar simulated light exposure. A maximum of 45 subjects will be accrued into the overall study we anticipate approximately 25 patients in the Raf inhibitor group and 10 patients each into the Tyrosine Kinase and MEK inhibitor arms of the study.
This study enrolls patients who have relapsed/advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, BCLC stage C). The HCC tumor relapsed or metastasized through the body after standard treatment or the patients cannot receive standard treatment under current conditions. This research study uses specific HCC antigens CD8+ T cells, a new experimental treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance as well as the potential clinical efficacy of an adoptive transfer of CD8+ T cells, sorted with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide multimers and specific for Glypican (GPC)-3 /New York Esophageal Squamous-1 (NY-ESO-1) /alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antigens and cultured in vitro, to patients suffering from relapsed/advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
