Filter by:This is an open-label, phase II study that may provide evidence that taking S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) supplementation prevents oxaliplatin, a type of chemotherapy drug, associated liver toxicity in patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases. Resectable means that it is able to removed with surgery. Patients will take two SAMe tablets in the morning and one tablet in the evening for 3-6 months (about 6-8 cycles of chemotherapy) in addition to oxaliplatin based chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of the colorectal liver metastases.
The SYLMET Trial is a randomized trial to compare simultaneous and two-staged resection of primary colorectal and synchronous liver metastases. This is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomized controlled trial to assess complications (primary endpoint), survival, cost-effectiveness, and quality of life (secondary endpoints).This trial will include patients with resectable primary tumour in the colon or upper rectum with less than five liver metastases that is possible to treat with surgical resection and/or ablation (RFA/MWA) at time of evaluation.
Hepatic arterial infuison chemothearpy (HAIC), targeted therapy, and programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors have been demonstrated to be effective for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM). Thus, the investigators will conduct a prospective trial to explore the efficacy and safety of targeted treatment based on ctDNA genotyping combined with tislelizumab and HAIC as salvage treatment for advanced CRCLM failed from standard systemic treatment, aiming to provide individualized optimized regimen for microsatellite stable (MSS) CRCLM in salvage treatment.
The primary objective of this phase IIb/III, prospective, randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with perivascular or peribiliary colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), that are not amenable for surgical resection or thermal ablation. Efficacy is assessed in terms of local control at 2 years.
The endpoint of this study is to develop and validate algorithms, using artificial intelligence and machine learning, to optimize patient selection, treatment planning, treatment evaluation and outcome prediction in patients undergoing thermal ablation of a malignant liver tumor. The long-term objective is to establish thermal ablation as the treatment of choice for the vast majority of patients with a primary or secondary liver tumor by development of an accessible workflow that can be widely implemented in different centers performing thermal ablation. Over a time span of at least four years, data will be collected prospectively, encompassing patient information, tumor characteristics, and treatment details. Additionally, pre-, intra-, and post-procedural imaging will be systematically gathered.
The primary objective of this interventional study is determine if the future liver remnant can be optimized by improving liver function pre-operatively in patients who are scheduled for major hepatectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does high-dose insulin therapy improve liver function in the pre-operative setting? 2. What is the effect of high-dose insulin therapy on liver function and liver regeneration after a liver venous deprivation (LVD) procedure? 3. What is the relationship between volume hypertrophy and function in the regenerating liver? Participants will receive a 6-hour infusion of insulin and dextrose to maintain a hyperinsulinemic-normoglycemic state in the weeks prior to planned liver surgery to assess its effect on liver function measured by 99m-Tc-Mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for colorectal cancer, the methods used to decide who gets additional post-surgery treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment after surgery. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. GUIDE.MRD-01-CRC is a part of the GUIDE.MRD project.
Liver metastasis is the main reason that affects the survival rates of patients with colorectal cancer (CRLM), and is also the main cause of death of those patients. Especially after the failure of first-line or second-line system treatment, the prognosis of those patients is extremely poor, with the median OS of only 3.5 months. Even in combination with molecular targeted drugs such as cetuximab or bevacizumab, the median tumor-free survival period is only 4.8-6.8 months, and OS is only 11-15 months. When they have disease progression, treatment is currently a difficult clinical problem. Regofinib is a new targeted drug for the third-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in recent years. However, in the prospective multicenter clinical study, compared with the placebo group, the extended OS is only 1.4 months, which is not so satisfactory. How to improve the survival of these advanced patients with drug resistance is an important clinical problem to be solved urgently. Minimally invasive local treatment may be a promising way to solve this problem. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) are currently the most widely used methods in clinical practice. In theory, TACE combined with HAIC can control small metastasis and embolic residual lesions. The combination of TACE and HAIC can improve the curative effect. Whether the combination of TACE, HAIC and Regofinib can be expected to achieve the effect of 1+1+1>3 in CRLM patients who have failed the previous second-line chemotherapy remains unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting beads-TACE (DEBIRI-TACE) combined with HAIC and Regofinib in the treatment of patients with CRLM who failed standard treatment regimens.
In this protocol the investigators aim to overcome hepatic-pulmonary metastases-induced resistance to immunotherapy through high dose radiation therapy (SBRT) targeted to the metastases themselves, aiming, when possible, to ablate all macroscopic disease in these organs.
Liver resection is the treatment of choice in patients with malignant liver lesions. Unfortunately, the surgery is not always an option, as in same patients the future remnant liver (FRL) is too small to supply all the functions. Therefore, some additional methods have been proposed to increase the size of the FRL. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of three methods of increasing the future remnant liver - Portal Vein Embolization (PVE) - embolization of one of the portal branches; Liver Vein Deprivation (LVD) - embolization both of the portal branch as well as the hepatic vein; and partial ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy) - ligation of portal vein branch with partial liver transection. The efficacy of those three methods will be assessed both by analyzing the volumetric increase (by computer tomography scans) and by functional increase (by 99mTc-mebrofenin scintigraphy). Functional assessment of the liver hypertrophy seems to be of crucial importance, as some of the previous studies suggest that there might be a significant discrepancy in the increase of size comparing to the increase of function. This is a prospective, interventional randomized study. The study group (154 patients) will consist of patients being considered as candidates for major hepatic resection, after inducing hypertrophy of the future remnant liver. The primary study hypothesis is greater efficacy of ALPPS in preparing patients for large hepatic resection by inducing hypertrophy of the future remnant liver, as compared both to PVE and LVD. In case of unsuccessful induction of hypertrophy by the embolization techniques, patients may be qualified to rescue ALPPS procedure. Primary end-point: Percentage of patients with successful resection (patients, who gained sufficient increase of the FRL to proceed to the liver resection) with no post-surgical 90-day mortality. Secondary end-points: 1. the rate and degree of volume increase in different groups 2. the rate and degree of functional increase in different groups 3. CCI index and complication rate >=3 degree according to the Clavien-Dindo classification after the first stage of treatment 4. CCI index and complication rate >=3 degree according to the Clavien-Dindo classification after the second stage of treatment 5. overall duration of hospital stay Patient will be randomly assigned to the three study groups. All patients will undergo an abdominal contrast enhanced computed tomography and 99mTc-mebrofenin scintigraphy prior to the first stage of treatment. During the first stage of treatment, patients will undergo, according to their group: 1. Embolization of portal vein branch (PVE, portal vein embolization) 2. Embolization of both portal vein branch and hepatic vein (LVD, liver venous deprivation) 3. Partial ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy) - ligation of portal vein branch with partial liver transection, preferentially by laparoscopic technique Computed tomography scans and scintigraphy will be repeated at day 7, 14 and 21 after the first stage of treatment. The second stage of treatment, the liver resection, will be performed after achievement of sufficient mebrofenin clearance rate (>=2,69%/min/m2). In case of failure to reach the desired clearance rate, the measurements will be continued every 7 days up to day 42. In case of uncertainty and discrepancy between the volumetric assessment in the computed tomography scan and the mebrofenin scintigraphy, it will be allowed to proceed to stage two (partial hepatectomy) after joint consultation of at least 3 hepatobiliary surgeons, 1 radiologist and 1 nuclear medicine specialist. Routine blood tests will be performed according to the standard procedure in the Department, depending on the patient clinical status. An additional blood sample will be collected from patients (after receiving and additional informed consent from the patient) and will be stored in the biobank. All patients will be monitored for surgical and 90-day complications. The volume increase after first stage of treatment, the functional increase after first stage of treatment, percentage of patients successfully proceeding to the second stage of treatment and complication rate will be calculated. The percentage of patients with complications >= 3 degree in Clavien-Dindo classification and CCI index for each patient will be calculated. Furthermore, the blood test results will be assessed to search for associations with patients' outcomes. Any possible differences in terms of baseline patients characteristics between groups will be addressed. Statistical analysis will be performed using U Mann-Whitney test, exact Fisher's test, logistic regression, general linear models, Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. All three groups will be assessed in terms of occurrence of primary and secondary end-points.
