Filter by:Trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has emerged as a treatment option for chemotherapy-refractory diseases in Liver metastases. By delivering chemotherapy agents directly to the tumor site, TACE can maximize local drug concentrations and reduce systemic adverse reactions. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that functions as an angiogenesis inhibitor. It works by slowing the growth of new blood vessels by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). The application of Bevacizumab during TACE has not been reported. In this study, we will evaluate the the overall survival (OS)、efficacy, and safety of the application of Bevacizumab during TACE in patients with Liver Metastases by designing an open, single-arm phase II clinical study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to learn about different combinations of immunotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer whose cancer has spread to their liver and are planning to have surgery to remove tumor metastases from their liver. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether these combinations of immunotherapy change the tumor microenvironment in the liver - whether these combinations of immunotherapy are safe and effective when used in colorectal cancer with liver metastases Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following: - Botensilimab and balstilimab - Botensilimab, balstilimab, and AGEN1423 - Botensilimab, balstilimab, and radiation Participants will be asked to come in to receive drug infusions (and radiation, if applicable) before and after their surgical resection. Participants will be followed for up to 2 years.
Irreversible electroporation is a curative treatment for cancerous liver lesions, performed on deep-seated tumors that are not eligible for surgical resection or percutaneous thermal ablation. The EVALHEP project aims to develop criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment based on imaging, mathematical models, and numerical simulations to assist radiologists who perform these complex procedures.
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. FRENCH.MRD.CRLM is the French study and part of the european GUIDE.MRD project.
Late-evening snacks, in which a portion of food is moved to bedtime while the total amount of food eaten per day remains unchanged, can effectively improve the metabolic state of accelerated catabolism. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of late-evening snacks on health conditions of hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent hepatectomy, and to further explore the effects of late-evening snacks on patients' metabolic patterns. The main question it aims to answer are: • the effect of late-evening snacks on the nutritional status of hepatic resection patients with hepatocellular carcinoma; - the effect of late-evening snacks on the recovery of liver function in liver cancer hepatectomy patients; - the effect of late-evening snacks on the complication rate of hepatic resection patients with hepatocellular carcinoma; - the effect of late-evening snacks on long-term quality of life of hepatic resection patients with hepatocellular carcinoma; - the effect of late-evening snacks on the metabolic pattern of hepatic resection patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. After learning about the 2 dietary modalities of the late-evening snacks and regular diet, patients will be placed in the different groups according to your preference. Patients who enter the test group will have additional meal 1h before bedtime every day, while patients in the control group will have normal diet. Patients will be asked to : - eat 1h before bedtime; - follow the doctor's instructions during their stay in the hospital; - have follow-up examinations at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the operation, after which blood samples will be collected for metabolite testing.
aimed to discuss the short term surgical outcomes of Anatomical versus Non anatomical laparoscopic Liver resection for Liver tumors.
This phase II trial evaluates the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for assessing treatment response in patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver tumors. TACE is a hepatic artery embolization technique involving the injection of a blocking agent and a chemotherapy agent to treat liver cancers. Currently, contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography are used to assess disease response 1-2 months after TACE treatment, but ultrasound may be a less expensive, earlier alternative. CEUS is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of the body after administering lumason, an imaging agent used to enhance visualization of blood flow on ultrasounds. CEUS is able to be performed during the TACE procedure, making it possible to evaluate treatment response earlier than standard techniques. CEUS may be an effective method to evaluate treatment response more accurately and much earlier than current standard evaluation methods.
Recent years have seen significant advancements in the treatment landscape of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with the emergence of targeted and immunotherapy strategies reshaping first-line therapy. Sorafenib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, initially set the standard, followed by approvals for lenvatinib, regorafenib, cabozantinib, and ramucirumab. Immunotherapy, particularly combinations like atezolizumab with bevacizumab, has shown superior efficacy over sorafenib. Despite these advances, second-line therapies offer limited progression-free survival (mPFS: 2-3 months), necessitating new approaches. Radiotherapy, bolstered by technological advancements, has shown promise. Techniques like stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with PD-1 inhibitors achieve significant response rates and survival benefits. Combining radiotherapy with targeted immunotherapy has also demonstrated improved outcomes. Radiotherapy, especially in oligometastatic HCC, is increasingly favored due to its ability to enhance local control without increasing toxicity. These developments underscore the evolving landscape of HCC treatment towards personalized and multimodal approaches.
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.
Subjects with large inoperable liver tumors defined as at least 1 lesion larger than 5cm in maximum diameter. For the purposes of the present study, we define the AMARA principle in intensified regional TARE as a planned irradiated tumor dose >200Gy by the partition model. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Y90 high dose radioembolization for the management of large inoperable liver tumors. In addition, to correlate the safety and efficacy with the post-treatment dosimetry analysis (by MIM Software Inc) based on 90Y-PET/CT imaging.
