Worldwide, liver cancers are the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Even when liver cancer is suspected by blood tests, imaging is required to determine the location, size, and extent of disease. Medical societies therefore recommend surveillance with ultrasound every 6 months in at-risk patients. However, a key challenge to improving the survival is that ultrasound may miss half of early-stage liver cancers, thus diagnosis must rely on additional tests such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or biopsy. Hence, there is a clear need to improve the ability to detect liver cancers, especially with ultrasound. The investigator's team proposes novel ultrasound approaches to detect cancer nodules invisible on conventional ultrasound based on differences in mechanical and structural properties between liver and tumor. Improving detection is critical because liver cancer can be cured only if detected at an early stage, as shown by improvements in survival rates in patients enrolled in surveillance programs. The investigator's multi-disciplinary, national, and international team includes experts in clinical fields (hepatology, oncology, radiology, pathology), basic sciences (engineering, medical physics, machine learning, biostatistics), and patient partnership. The investirgator will apply the methodology of patient partner recruitment and collaborate with the Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public to select potential new collaborators. This will permit this project to be informed at every stage by patient and family perspectives, ensuring that the results of this project will be more robust, impactful, and aligned with the priorities, needs and experiences of those who live with liver cancer. The investigator submits a research proposal focused on advanced imaging techniques because imaging constitutes a foundation for surveillance, diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and assessment of treatment response in patients with liver cancer.
Researchers are studying a new potential treatment for liver cancer. To do this, researchers have developed a protein, called a monoclonal antibody, which can find and attach itself to another protein present on the surface of liver cancer cells. This can help the new treatment to specifically target cancer cells in the liver. In this study, researchers want to understand the distribution and processing of this monoclonal antibody in people with liver cancer. Researchers will use the following two forms of monoclonal antibody as study interventions during this study: - BAY3630942: This is the monoclonal antibody attached to a tracer. A tracer emits radiation that can help researchers track the monoclonal antibody in the body using imaging tests like PET/CT (positron emission tomography / computed tomography). All participants will receive a fixed dose of BAY3630942 during the study. - BAY3547922: This is the monoclonal antibody without the tracer. Participants may receive different amounts of BAY3547922 during the study. In this study, participants will not derive therapeutic benefit from receiving BAY3630942 or BAY3547922. However, this study may help researchers develop a new treatment for people with liver cancer and find a dose to be tested in future studies. The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to check how BAY3630942 distributes among different organs in the body and how much of the radiation it emits is absorbed by the organs based on the total dose of BAY3630942 and BAY3547922 given. For this, the researchers will: - measure the amount of BAY3630942 radiation found in different organs over time. - measure the amount of BAY3630942 radiation absorbed by different organs. - use the above information to estimate the amount of radiation that would be absorbed by the same organs from the new potential treatment. Researchers will also monitor the number and severity of medical problems participants have after receiving BAY3630942 and BAY3547922. These medical problems are also known as "adverse events". Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study interventions. The study participants will first receive BAY3547922 as an infusion into a vein followed by BAY3630942 as an injection into the same vein. Both interventions will be administered only once, on the same day. Each participant will be in the study for around 44 days with up to 7 visits to the study clinic which includes: - a visit up to 14 days before the start of the study to confirm if the participant can take part in the study. - up to 5 visits during the imaging intervention period. During this period, participants: - will receive the study interventions and have blood tests on the first visit, - will have imaging and blood tests on the next 3 visits. The tests scheduled for the second visit may be performed during the first visit. - may have blood tests on the last visit. - a follow-up visit to check their health after 30 days of receiving the study interventions. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - check participants' health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests, and check heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - track and study BAY3630942 using PET/CT imaging tests As the study interventions are not yet treatments for liver cancer, access to BAY3630942 and BAY3547922 after the end of the study will not be required.
Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1; anti-PD-L1) in conjunction with bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor; anti-VEGF) has become the established standard first-line systemic treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite an improved objective response rate (ORR) of 27%, the majority of patients face HCC progression and liver failure [Finn et al., N Engl J Med 2020]. Developing a new combined treatment strategy to overcome resistance to anti-PD-L1 and anti-VEGF is essential to improve patient outcomes. Radiation treatment (RT) is highly efficacious in controlling localized solid tumors and has become an integral component of the treatment algorithm for unresectable HCC. Importantly, a recent retrospective cohort described that RT combined with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab was associated with favorable median overall survival of 16.1 months (Manzar et al, Cancers 2022). Our preclinical study (Hsieh et al., Science Immunology 2022) revealed that RT combined with PD-L1/PD-1 blockade induces immunogenic cell death and tumor antigen cross-presentation in antigen-presenting cells, thereby potentiating the systemic antitumor T cell responses in murine tumor models. However, whether the combinatorial therapy with RT, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab can trigger synergistic antitumor effects and systemic immune mobilization has not yet been validated in clinical trials for unresectable HCC. Both atezolizumab/bevacizumab and X-ray RT are approved treatment methods for unresectable HCC by the U.S. and Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The present phase II non-randomized trial aims to prospectively document the therapeutic efficacy, safety, and immunological responses in patients with unresectable HCC treated with atezolizumab/bevacizumab combined with conventional photon radiotherapy.
This is a pilot safety study of the oral PD-L1 inhibitor INCB099280 in patients with HCC awaiting liver transplant.
OPERANDI project aims to address unmet clinical needs in the current management of advanced-stage HCC treated with TARE by exploring new opportunities provided by imaging-based artificial intelligence (AI) and data augmentation, simultaneous PET-MRI imaging, and novel approaches to increase patient selection and TARE efficacy (genomic profiling, radiopotentiators, and new radionuclides). The research aim to identify predictive and early markers indicative of TARE effectiveness based on a large prospective cohort of HCC patients. This cohort will be used to uncover relevant predictive signatures within the morphological, functional, and molecular imaging data using novel imaging-based AI approaches with a new patient imaging pathway including simultaneous 18F-Choline PET-MRI. Considering this global objective, the objective of this clinical research protocol is to provide clinical, molecular and imaging data in a prospective standardized study, notably by performing systematic pretherapeutic and follow-up PET-MRI, in patients with HCC treated with TARE.
The "no-touch" technique has been one of the most important principles of oncological surgery and aimed to prevent seeding and tumor cell dissemination. Previous studies in hepatectomy have shown that no-touch technique surgery can reduce HCC recurrence and improve the survival of patients. However, there is no consensus on whether the no-touch technique in LT for HCC improves the outcomes. This study aims to prospectively include liver transplant patients from multiple transplant centers, collecting their pre-transplant clinical information, post-transplant pathological records and exploring and clarify the correlation between "no-touch" technique and the prognosis of LT patients.
As key biomarkers in HCC, AFP and PIVKA-II reflects biological features of tumor and has been widely applied for clinical diagnosis. Previous studies reported preoperative AFP and PIVKA-II are related to HCC recipient long-term survival after liver transplantation. However, there is no prospective study supporting these conclusions. This study aims to prospective collect liver transplantation cases from multiple transplant centers and further evaluate the prognostic role of preoperative AFP and PIVKA-II in liver transplantation for HCC.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prominent kind of liver cancer, accounting for 85% of primary liver malignancies. It is a very aggressive tumor, having a terrible prognosis and poor survival rate HCC is ranked as the sixth most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortalities world wide. HCC incidences arise in complications associated with chronic liver disease like cirrhosis, endemic hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcohol-related liver disease (Torre, 2015).
