Filter by:Thermal ablation has been recommended by worldwide guidelines as first-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while evidence regarding its efficacy for primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is lacking. The goal of this observational study is to study the efficacy of ablation in treating iCCA by comparing its prognosis with surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether microwave ablation could achieve similar efficacy with liver resection in treating iCCA - What is the risk factor for ablation or surgery in treating iCCA - What kind of iCCA patients could receive ablation as their first-line treatment In this real-world multicenter cohort study, we will collect data of iCCA patients from hospitals who underwent microwave ablation (MWA) or liver resection (LR) for tumors within Milan criteria. Survival will be compared between patients treated by MWA or LR.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare uncovered, partially covered, and fully covered self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) in the palliative treatment of distal malignant biliary obstruction in a Swedish multicenter study. The main questions it aims to answer is: Is the stent patency rate different depending of stent type? Is the stent patency time different depending of stent type? Is the patient survival different between the groups? Which complications are seen, and do they differ between the groups? Are there different mechanisms behind the stent failure depending on stent type? Patients will at ERCP, with a guidewire passed through the stenosis in the bile duct, be allocated to either uncovered, partially covered, and fully covered (SEMS). Totally, 450 patients will be recruited, 150 in each study arm, according to the power analysis. Patients will be followed in a monthly surveillance by a study nurse up to 12 months after stent insertion. Endpoints are: alive after 12 months with a patent stent, death with a patent stent, stent dysfunction with a subsequent intervention i.e. repeated ERCP or PTC = "objective stent failure", stent dysfunction, jaundice or cholangitis, but not intervention has been undertaken due to a poor condition of the patient, "clinical stent failure", the patient has undergone curative surgery or a bilio-enteric by-pass (a gastro-enteroanastomosis or a duodenal stent is not a reason for exclusion), the patient refuses further follow-up.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the combination of durvalumab and olaparib in the maintenance setting after initial chemotherapy and durvalumab will benefit patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
The present clinical trial is a prospective, investigator-initiated, single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II trial. Patients with unresectable perihilar and/or ductal CCA with indication for bile duct stenting and palliative systemic therapy as determined by the local multidisciplinary team (MDT), who already resolved cholestasis due to RFA + Stent will be enrolled. We hypothesize that in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, the use of a combination radiofrequency ablation followed by systemic treatment with chemotherapy plus durvalumab might further increase the anti-tumor activity.
This research constitutes a multi-centric, case-control designed investigation aimed at developing and implementing a blinded validation of a machine learning-powered, multi-cancer early detection model. This is to be achieved through the prospective collection of blood specimens from newly diagnosed cancer patients and individuals devoid of a confirmed cancer diagnosis
To learn if pemigatinib in combination with atezolizumab and bevacizumab can help to control cholangiocarcinoma.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of cadonilimab with liposomal irinotecan plus fluorouracil and leucovorin for the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer.
Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is an advanced radiotherapy technique. There are two National Health Service (NHS) PBT treatment centres in the United Kingdom (UK), in Manchester and London. The NHS is committed to ensuring the best use of this limited resource by investigating which patients will benefit from PBT. Evaluative Commissioning in Protons (ECIP) is a programme of studies exploring the role of PBT in different types of cancer. The studies are funded by NHS England. ECIP studies are not randomised studies, which means that all eligible patients will be offered PBT. Any eligible patient in the UK can be referred, and accommodation is available for patients who don't live close to a PBT centre. The main benefit of PBT, compared with standard photon radiotherapy, is the predicted reduction in radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissues. With photon radiotherapy, some radiation passes beyond the target area, affecting healthy tissues and causing side-effects. With PBT, the radiation dose stops within the target area, causing less damage to surrounding tissues, and limiting side effects. EMPHATIC is a study within the ECIP programme. In EMPHATIC, the investigators are looking to see whether a combination of treatments, including PBT, chemotherapy and a liver transplant, can be used to treat patients with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). EMPHATIC offers patients whose cancer can't be removed with surgery (unresectable) a potentially curative treatment option. There is evidence that liver transplant is a curative treatment option in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. There is a risk that the cancer may grow or spread whilst waiting for a transplant, potentially making patients ineligible. PBT and chemotherapy is thought to be the best way to control the cancer, until a liver transplant can be performed. EMPHATIC will look at how a combination of PBT and chemotherapy, followed by a liver transplant, can be used to curatively treat patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinomas.
This phase I trial tests the safety, best dose, and effectiveness of NXP800 in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). NXP800 inhibits a pathway called the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) pathway. The inhibition of this pathway inhibits proliferation, migration, survival, and metastasis in susceptible tumor cells. Overexpressed, amplified and/or overactivated in many cancer cells, HSF1 activates a set of genes that play a key role in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. Inhibiting this pathway may in turn inhibit tumor initiation, progression, and/or metastasis. Giving NXP800 may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
A single-arm, prospective clinical study was conducted to enroll 20 subjects. Each subject was treated with oral Lenvatinib + Adebrelimab + GEMOX (gemcitabine + oxaliplatin). The treatment phase before surgery was 3 cycles, and the evaluation was performed every 2 cycles. The evaluation was repeated before surgery, and the decision of surgery was made according to the evaluation results. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lenvatinib and Adebrelimab combined with GEMOX in the perioperative treatment of potentially resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
