Adenocarcinoma, Scirrhous clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool for the Decision of Liver Transplant in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

HepatoPredict

Start date: March 25, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Liver transplant is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Due to organs shortage, the proper selection of patients is imperative. Prevailing clinical morphological models used in most centres (Milan Criteria), can exclude potential candidates and include patients with aggressive biological behaviour. To more accurately select candidates for liver transplant, the inclusion of criteria that could predict the behaviour and aggressiveness of tumours, such as molecular markers, might be useful. The investigators propose the use of a new algorithm (HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool), that combine clinical and molecular criteria that address the biology of tumours, in a single centre prospective, intervention study. Data from the "HepatoPredict genomic signature" are added to the clinical and imagiology algorithm. Based on this tool, patients outside the usual eligibility criteria for liver transplant will be proposed for this treatment. These patients will be transplanted with marginal livers or with livers from patients with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy, not competing with patients on the waiting list. Patients will be followed up to 60 months after transplant, to assess survival and HCC recurrence with biannual imagiology screening. Survival and disease-free-survival rates will be compared with those obtained by the usual management of patients included and excluded by Milan Criteria.
