Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well software-aided imaging works in confirming tumor coverage with ablation (the removal or destruction of a body part or tissue or its function) on patients with liver tumors. The current standard for targeting tumor cells and evaluating the outcome of a liver ablation procedure is a visual inspection of the pre- and post-procedure computed tomography (CT) scans. Software-aided imaging systems, such as Morfeus, may help to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of liver ablation.
This is an open-label, multicentre dose escalation/expansion study to assess safety and tolerability of MIV 818 as either monotherapy or in combination with 1) lenvatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as a standard of care for the treatment of HCC or 2) pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor. The monotherapy parts of the study will include patients with various solid tumours that have spread to the liver, or alternatively originating in the liver. Evaluations of MIV-818 in combination with lenvatinib or pembrolizumab will only include patients with HCC.
To explore the utility of personalized 3D printed liver models in planning and navigating laparoscopic resections.
More than 50% of intestinal NETs are metastatic at the time of diagnosis, the liver being the main affected organ in 50-90% of cases. Initial liver tumor burden and slope of the tumor growth rate are two major prognostic factors in patients with intestinal NETs, followed by tumor grade at pathology. They are used in routine practice by oncologists to adapt patient treatment. Unlike other tumors, most NETs metastases are slow-growing tumors. Previous studies have shown that approximately half of the patients diagnosed with liver metastases showed no progression over a period of 3 to 6 months. The aim of this non randomised retrospective cohort study is to investigate whether the volumetric monitoring of the total tumor burden compared to the RECIST 1.1 criteria (used in routine practice by radiologists) at baseline and early follow-up (3 to 6 months) is more suitable for NETs, making possible to predict the prognosis at the onset of the disease, and also allowing a better adaptation of the treatment. The secondary objectives are to evaluate if the initial volume of the liver tumor is a prognostic factor of time to progression, to correlate the initial liver tumor volume and the number of liver lesions to the blood concentration of Chromogranin A (CgA), the presence of extra-abdominal disease and to correlate the tumor growth rate (TGR) and KI 67 (%) at base-line.
Major liver resection is associated with substantial intraoperative blood loss and subsequently blood transfusions. Blood transfusion in elective liver surgery is a significant factor of perioperative morbidity and mortality, as well as possibly long-term oncologic outcome. The purpose of this study is to use whole blood phlebotomy to decrease the central venous pressure, resulting in a state of relative hypovolemia. It is hypothesized that this intervention will lead to a decrease in blood loss at the time of liver resection and thus reduced blood transfusion in major liver surgeries.
This is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the use of mobile devices in preventing readmission in patients undergoing major GI cancer operations.
This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery, cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of chemotherapy alone.
This is a randomized, open, parallel-controlled, multicenter, phase II/III, seamless design clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of RC48-ADC with capecitabine + lapatinib in locally advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer and HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with liver metastasis.
The purpose of this study is to explore novel ways of diagnosing colon cancer and predicting its propensity to spread to other organs such as the liver.
A significant proportion of patients who undergo liver surgery to remove bowel cancer that has spread to the liver (metastases) develop disease recurrence and die from the disease. A previous small study (the EMT study) suggested a possible survival benefit in patients who took the naturally-occurring omega-3 fatty acid EPA (a fish oil supplement) before liver surgery. The EMT2 study is a larger study which will recruit 448 men and women with liver metastases from bowel cancer. Trial participants will receive either Icosapent Ethyl (pure EPA derived from fish oil) or placebo (dummy capsules). EMT2 will investigate whether patients who take this supplement before liver surgery and for up to four years after surgery, remain free of recurrence for longer than those who take placebo (dummy capsules)
