Filter by:This is a prospective pilot study designed to document safety and efficacy of liver-directed therapy for colorectal, neuroendocrine, cholangiocarcinoma, melanoma, and breast cancer metastases to the liver using Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere).
The primary objective is to investigate the objective response rate in patients receiving GEMOX (gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin) plus cetuximab as first line treatment in advanced or metastatic unresectable BTC biliary tract cancer compared to patients receiving the same chemotherapy without cetuximab. The secondary objectives include the exploration of the effect of the multimodality strategy on progression-free and overall survival, biomarker prediction, and toxicity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative immunonutrition is effective on infectious complication and Th1/Th2 differentiation in patients with major hepatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative immunonutrition is effective on infectious complication and Th1/Th2 differentiation in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
The purpose of this study is to see if Therasphere will be a better way to treat cholangiocarcinoma. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this treatment will have on the patient and their cancer.
A phase II trial evaluating intra-hepatic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin every second week in combination with systemic gemcitabine and capecitabine in combination with cetuximab in patient with non-resectable liver metastases from cholangiocarcinoma.
The objective of this study is to establish the recommended dose of selumetinib, a novel MEK inhibitor for use in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving cediranib maleate together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with advanced biliary cancers. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cediranib maleate together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
Patients treated with stereotactic radiotherapy for liver tumors undergo PET/CT using the galactose analogue 18-F-deoxy-galactose (FDGal) before and after radiotherapy. This technique provides volumetric mapping of liver function and it allows quantisation of liver function. The method may be used for selection of patients for stereotactic radiotherapy of liver tumors, for determination of radiation induced liver dysfunction and may be included into the treatment planning process of stereotactic radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of progression free survival of patients with inoperable cholangiocarcinoma 6 months after enrollment in the study. The patients are treated with combination chemotherapy supplemented by biological agents panitumumab or bevacizumab.
