Filter by:The intraoperative recognition of target structures, which need to be preserved or selectively removed, is of paramount importance during surgical procedures. This task relies mainly on the anatomical knowledge and experience of the operator. Misperception of the anatomy can have devastating consequences. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) represents a promising technology that is able to perform a real-time optical scanning over a large area, providing both spatial and spectral information. HSI is an already established method of objectively classifying image information in a number of scientific fields (e.g. remote sensing). Our group recently employed HSI as intraoperative tool in the porcine model to quantify perfusion of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract against robust biological markers. Results showed that this technology is able to quantify bowel blood supply with a high degree of precision. Hyperspectral signatures have been successfully used, coupled to machine learning algorithms, to discriminate fine anatomical structures such as nerves or ureters intraoperatively (unpublished data). The i-EX-MACHYNA3 study aims at translating the HSI technology in combination with several deep learning algorithms to differentiate among different classes of human tissues (including key anatomical structures such as BD, nerves and ureters).
ONCR-177-101 is a phase 1, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study of ONCR-177, an oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus for intratumoral injection, alone and in combination with PD-1 blockade in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory cutaneous, subcutaneous or metastatic nodal solid tumors or with Liver Metastases of Solid Tumors. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.
The aim of the trial is to compare the objective response rates of FUDR/Oxaliplatin HAI plus CPT-11 and FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy in patients with initially non-resectable metastatic colorectal cancer liver metastases. The patients will be treated with systemic FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy or FUDR/Oxaliplatin hepatic arterial infusion with CPT-11 systemic chemotherapy.
HARVEST is an investigator-initiated prospective randomized controlled study comparing adjuvant intravenous systemic chemotherapy with or without HAI- floxuridine (FUDR) in CRC patients post-liver metastasectomy.
Estimation of the concordance of Tc 99m localization in liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma using SPECT/CT imaging and abdominal FDG (PET)/CT imaging per subject.
TERAVECT is a phase III randomized study of patients with digestive neuroendocrine tumors after complete surgical resection of liver metastases treated with In111-Pentetreotide-based adjuvant radiotherapy. In this study, targeted radionuclide therapy is used at an earlier stage of the disease.The objective is to target residual tumor cells and/or micrometastases which escaped surgical resection. Given the poor prognosis associated with recurrence, this treatment should prevent relapse.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of irinotecan-eluting beads in treating patients with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver and does not respond to treatment with standard therapy. Irinotecan-eluting beads are tiny beads that have been loaded with irinotecan hydrochloride, a chemotherapy drug. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. This treatment delivers the chemotherapy directly to the tumor area inside the liver instead of to the whole body as with systemic delivery of the drug. Irinotecan-eluting beads may work better that standard chemotherapy in treating patients with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
The purpose of the study is to assess a new treatment for patients with liver tumor metastases from colorectal cancer. The treatment has never been used in humans before. The treatment foresees the use of two compounds: AvdinOX and [177Lu]DOTA-biotin. AvidinOX is a new compound, essentially a natural protein obtained from hen eggs, while [177Lu]DOTA-biotin is a new chemical compound resulting from the combination of the DOTA-biotin (also deriving from a natural vitamin which is biotin) with the 177Lutetium, an atom which emits radiation. AvidinOX will be injected directly into the metastases in the liver and [177Lu]DOTA-biotin will be injected into the arm vein. One specific property of AvidinOX is that it chemically links to the tumor tissues when it is injected while maintaining the capacity to take up [177Lu]DOTA-biotin. Once locally bound in tumor tissue, AvidinOX becomes an "artificial receptor" for intravenously injected [177Lu]DOTA-biotin, which allows an internal radiation therapy of the tumor tissue. The treatment of liver metastases with local injection of AvidinOX and the following intra-venous injection of [177Lu]DOTA-biotin could be simpler and more tolerable than the current available treatments.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors metastatic to the liver previously treated with surgery. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus after surgery may kill any tumors cells that remain.
This pilot clinical trial studies radioembolization and ipilimumab in treating patients with uveal melanoma with liver metastases. Radioembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping radioactive substances near the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving radioembolization together with ipilimumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with uveal melanoma
