Filter by:The aie of this clinical study is the safety and efficacy of combination therapy for HCC patients.
The objective of this protocol is to obtain a better match between the actual staging and the proposed treatment in order to avoid inadequate treatments at risk of complications. In patients with HCC classified as BCLC A to C, the combination of 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET- TomoDensitoMetry (TDM) with conventional imaging would clinically significantly modify the therapeutic strategy initially planned by conventional imaging alone. This change in therapeutic strategy would be from curative to palliative treatment or from loco-regional palliative to systemic palliative treatment. 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans will be performed after inclusion of the patient in the study and prior to multidisciplinary consultation meeting for treatment discussion.
Phase I study of RO7119929 given orally to participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic primary liver cancers and other solid tumors with predominant liver involvement. The primary objective of the study is to explore the safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or optimal biologic dose (OBD) of RO7119929 as single agent.
Cabozantinib, a small molecule directed to vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, MET and AXL, has shown to significantly improve the overall survival (OS) over placebo in the randomized phase 3 CELESTIAL trial in patients who had up to two lines of prior systemic therapy (including sorafenib) with progression on at least one in comparison to patients who received best supportive care. Although cabozantinib shares similar targets with sorafenib/regorafenib, they present different toxicity profile. While the most common grade 3-4 Adverse Events reported for sorafenib were fatigue (4%), diarrhea (8%), hand-foot reaction (8%) and hypertension (2%); the most frequent grade 3-4 Adverse Events for cabozantinib were hand-foot reaction (3.6%), hypertension (3.4%) and elevation of AST (2.6%). In clinical practice, regorafenib, ramucirumab and cabozantinib are approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA) as second-line treatment approved by EMA until now. However, more than 40% of candidate patients to 2nd line do not meet the RESORCE criteria or REACH-2 trial and are only candidates to cabozantinib treatment. However, investigators do not have safety data about those patients who are treated with other treatments than sorafenib in first line neither data about the real impact of sorafenib-intolerant patients according to the RESORCE trial definition. For this reason, investigators propose to explore the role of cabozantinib in patients who were not considered in the CELESTIAL trial.
Regorafenib and nivolumab are proven effective agents for the management of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma patients. As preclinical studies have suggested potential synergism between antiangiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors, regorafenib and nivolumab may have synergism in terms of efficacy. Herein, this study investigates the combination of regorafenib and nivolumab as first-line therapy in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
This clinical trial evaluates whether 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT can improve upon the diagnosis and management of liver cancer. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, a scan that uses magnetic and radio waves to produce detailed structural information of the organs, tissues and structures within the body. PET stands for positron emission tomography, an imaging test that helps to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (radiotracer) to show this activity. CT scan uses X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within the body. In patients that have been diagnosed with liver cancer, a protein called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) appears in large amounts on the surface of the cancerous cells. The radioactive chemical compound (68Ga-PSMA) has been designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to the PSMA protein on liver cancer cells. 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT may be better in diagnosing and managing liver cancer.
The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between postoperative recovery of liver function and gut microbiota in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver resection patients were divided into the recovery group and the recovery delay group according to the recovery level of liver function on the fifth day after the operation. Benign liver disease was used as a control. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the differences in gut microbiota between the three groups. Then, fecal microbiota transplantation was performed in a mouse hepatectomy model. Through this study, the investigators hope to understand the relationship between gut microbiota and postoperative recovery of liver function in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, so as to provide a new therapeutic direction for patients in the aspect of perioperative liver function recovery.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of lenvatinib in HCC.
Two hundred HCC patients with partial hepatectomy were enrolled as a cohort for observational study. The inclusion criterion was intended curative hepatectomy for HCC patients by image analysis, and the exclusion criteria were unresectable disease, synchronous cancers, recurrent cancers, or distant metastasis. The study endpoint was 30 March 2019, and tumor staging was based on the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system for HCC
More and more laparoscopic hepatectomy were performed due to increasing experience, well designed instruments and energy device. But the localization of tumor and resection line design are still relative difficult comparing open approach due to limit space. Intraoperative liver segmentation can be obtained by ultrasound-guide intraportal injection of a fluorophore and illuminating with a Near-Infrared light source for positive staining and by intravenous injection after ligation of segmental vessels for negative staining .The ultrasound guide intraportal injection approach is challenging in the minimally-invasive setting. However hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC) was supplied by hepatic artery mainly. The investigators aimed to evaluate the feasibility of arterial base positive staining for fluorescence liver segmentation in human by superselective intra-hepatic artery injection of Indocyanine Green (ICG) .
