Filter by: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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy sequential maintenance therapy versus placebo combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The primary hypotheses are that nimotuzumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy sequential maintenance therapy is superior to placebo plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy with respect to progression-free survival.
The goal of this open-label randomized, multicenter, comparative phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the immunotherapy, dostarlimab, as first-line treatment for deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) non-resectable metastatic or locally advanced non-colorectal and non-endometrial cancers compared to the standard of care chemotherapy. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with histologically confirmed dMMR/MSI duodenum and small bowel adenocarcinoma, gastric and oeso-gastric junction (OGJ) adenocarcinoma with combined positive score (CPS)<5, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ampulla of vater adenocarcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, carcinoma of unknown primary site, neuroendocrine carcinoma (Grade3) all primary, and soft tissue sarcoma (except Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumor) will be included in this study. They will be randomized and treated with either dostarlimab (experimental arm A), or chemotherapy (control arm B). Patients with documented disease progression following the first line chemotherapy (Arm B) may be eligible for crossover to be treated with dostarlimab, with the same schedule as arm A.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation study, designed to determine the Maximum tolerated dose(MTD)/Recommended Phase 2 dose(RP2D) of LB-LR1109 and to evaluate safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics of LB-LR1109, and its impact on quality of life in participants with unresectable and metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer(NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC), renal cell carcinoma(RCC), urothelial carcinoma, or malignant melanoma and no available standard of care treatment options.
This study aimed to investigate the value of a novel strategy of intermittent systematic chemotherapy (ISC) in widely metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (wmNPC) patients who achieve objective response after systematic chemotherapy (SC).
This Phase 3, single-arm, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of UGN-103, a novel formulation of UGN-102, instilled in the urinary bladder of patients with low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-NMIBC).
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.
