Filter by:Liver cancer is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. It is the 3rd most common cause of cancer death in Hong Kong. The five-year survival rates of liver cancer differ greatly with disease staging, ranging from 91.5% in early-stage to 11% in late-stage. The early and accurate diagnosis of liver cancer is paramount in improving cancer survival. Liver cancer is diagnosed radiologically via cross sectional imaging, e.g. computed tomography (CT), without the routine use of liver biopsy. However, with current internationally-recommended radiological reporting methods, up to 49% of liver lesions may be inconclusive, resulting in repeated scans and a delay in diagnosis and treatment. An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that that can accurately diagnosed liver cancer has been developed. Based on an interim analysis, the algorithm achieved a high diagnostic accuracy. The AI algorithm is now ready for implementation. This study aims to prospective validate this AI algorithm in comparison with the current standard of radiological reporting in a randomized manner in the at-risk population undergoing triphasic contrast CT. This research project is totally independent and separated from the actual clinical reporting of the CT scan by the duty radiologist. The primary study outcome is the diagnostic accuracy of liver cancer, which will be unbiasedly based on a composite clinical reference standard.
Netrin-1 is a dependence receptor ligand participating in the pathology of several cancer types. It is up-regulated in chronic liver diseases, cirrhosis and HCC. We hypothesize that netrin-1 may play a detrimental role in HCC. The goal of this project is to characterize netrin-1 signals in HCC samples with ad hoc controls, to investigate the benefit of capturing netrin-1 in preclinical models of HCC and to try to define patients groups the most likely to benefit from this targeting approach in the clinic.
This is an open label, multi-center, randomized, controlled phase III study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab plus bevacizumab as adjuvant therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who are at high risk of recurrence after radical resection
Combined F index, A index,ATT index and spleen stiffness to predict tumor recurrence in different liver settings after thermal ablation of HCC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acetazolamide combined with levamisole in the treatment of advanced HCC.
There have been lack of clinical studies on the role of drug treatment in patients who develop progressive disease with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Amongst HCC patients who become intolerant or refractory to sorafenib, cabozantinib has been shown by phase III clinical trial (CELESTIAL) to prolong the overall survival of patients, as compared to placebo. It is expected more patients will be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in future, hence it is clinically important to study the efficacy and toxicity of cabozantinib after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Further, both MET activation and upregulation of regulatory T cells are implicated in resistance mechanism to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immuno-modulatory effects of cabozantinib have been described in vitro and in murine models for several cancers. Moreover, cabozantinib appears to exert its effect on regulatory T cells (Tregs) via the HGF/c-Met pathway, where this receptor signaling cascade mediates multiple immune cell functions. HGF was shown to suppress DC function and in turn induce Tregs (CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3) in a murine central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity model. HGF cultured monocytes differentiate into monocytic cells that produce soluble factors that favor immune suppressive conditions ideal for tumor progression. Above immunomodulatory effects could enable cabozantinib to reverse the immunosuppressive phenotype in patients after failure with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The starting dose of cabozantinib of 60mg once daily in the current study is chosen in accordance with approved dose by FDA for treatment of advanced HCC
This ia a single-arm, not-randomized, open-label phase II study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KN046 (PD-L1 /CTLA-4 Bispecific antibody) combined with Lenvatinib(TKI) for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
In Italy, since August 2014, liver transplantation (LT) candidates with MELD≥30 receive a priority allocation consenting them to access in an organ sharing macroarea. The primary intent of this policy is to minimize the higher risk of waiting list dropout observed in these patients. Another objective of this allocation strategy is to reduce the waiting time, thus performing the LT in better clinical conditions. This multicentre retrospective national study aims to evaluate several parameters of efficacy and equity, such as waiting time in the list, dropout rate, and graft survival, in two eras of enlisted patients, before and after the introduction of the macroarea sharing policy in Italy. With the intent to minimize the presence of possible selection biases, the two groups were matched trough Propensity Score Matching (PSM).
A Phase II study of immunotherapy with Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and Tremelimumab in combination with either Y-90 SIRT or DEB-TACE for intermediate stage HCC with pick-the-winner design
This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label clinical trial determining efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with ipilimumab/nivolumab and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in subjects with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These are subjects who are not candidates for curative intent treatment.
