Filter by:This is a Phase 2, Open-label, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Brivanib in Patients with Previously Treated Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
This is a phase I clinical study. Blood is drawn from the patient and brought to our laboratory for isolation of immune cells. These immune cells are then proliferated over a two week period and used to produce our patented product IKC (Immune Killer Cells). The IKC will then infused back into the patient to treat the cancer. Each patient will receive a total of six infusions.
Many studies describe the relationship between microbiota alteration and the occurrence of metabolic, alcoholic or inflammatory liver diseases. Nevertheless, the modifications of microbiota during liver transplantation (LT) as well as its implication are poorly studied. Similarly, only the intestinal microbiota is studied in this context, and no data are available on the biliary microbiota, even if it is known that bile microbiota can interfere with hepatobiliary diseases. This study proposes a clinical and biological in-depth follow-up with multiple sampling of liver transplanted patients to study biliary and intestinal microbiota alterations along LT, as well as bile acids metabolism in corresponding fluids. Indeed, in recipient samples as saliva, blood, urine, and feces can be taken before LT, and surgeons can easily perform bile sampling during LT. In donors all samples can be taken during liver removal. This offers the opportunity to have a microbiotic landscape of individuals without liver disease (donor), and patients suffering from a chronic liver disease or a liver cancer before and after transplantation. Also, in Grenoble University hospital, in case of biliary anastomotic incongruence, a biliary stent is placed during LT in 60% of recipients. This stent is removed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) within 6 months after LT, offering a second opportunity to obtain bile samples in transplanted patients, after the early post-LT period. Patients who do not require a biliary stent will also be included for the study of secondary objectives, as intestinal microbiota is very poorly characterized in liver transplanted patients too. A portion of the patients without biliary stent, may also develop an anastomotic biliary stricture requiring an ERCP. If this ERCP is realized within the follow-up period of the study, the patient will also be included in the primary objective of the study. These multiple and sequential samples will allow a complete analysis of microbiota changes in LT patients and aim to answer to 3 questions: 1. What are the modifications of intestinal and biliary microbiomes during LT? 2. What is the influence of bile acids' composition on intestinal and biliary microbiota? 3. What are the relationships between microbiome alterations and the emergence of LT complications?
Develop a new scoring system for HCC patients with tumor rupture.
This study aims to investigate whether statin therapy can help prevent recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in transplant recipients who had liver transplantation for HCC. Multiple logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate the association between statin therapy and the risk of HCC recurrence after LT.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer world-wide. It is particularly prevalent in Asia, and its occurrence is highest in areas where hepatitis B is prevalent, indicating a possible causal relationship. Follow up of high-risk populations such as chronic hepatitis patients and early diagnosis of transitions from chronic hepatitis to HCC would improve cure rates. In most cases HCC is detected late resulting in increased mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC and circulated tumor DNA in hepatocellular carcinomas patients.
Since the previous decade, the authors introduced the R1 vascular (R1vasc) resection for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and colorectal liver metastases (Torzilli et al. J Am Coll Surg 2005; Viganò et al. Ann Surg Oncol 2016; Torzilli et al. Surgery 2017). However, oncological reliability of tumor exposure in surgery for HCC remains controversial since it has never been validated. The aim of the study is to determine the oncological adequacy of R1vasc hepatectomy in patients with HCC.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the distribution of radiopaque microspheres loaded with doxorubicin in the treatment of unresectable HCC. Prospective, single arm, open label, single centre, pilot study. All patients will undergo clinical follow-up. Twenty patients will be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to observe and preliminary explore the efficacy and safety of combination of Apatinib and SHR-1210 regimen in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab compared with sorafenib in participants with locally advanced or metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have received no prior systemic treatment.
