Filter by:Hepatic dysfunction limits the therapeutic options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is closely associated with patient prognosis. Established practice guidelines for patients with HCC and impaired liver function are lacking. The treatment allocation in these populations is heterogeneous and remains controversial. This study compared the survival benefits of liver resection (LR) and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) in patients with HCC and impaired liver function.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study in patients with selected solid tumors.
This is a study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for CDX-1140 (CD40 antibody), either alone or in combination with CDX-301 (FLT3L), pembrolizumab, or chemotherapy and to further evaluate its tolerability and efficacy in expansion cohorts once the MTD is determined.
This is a prospective study to determine the optimal technique for obtaining liver tissue with a smaller caliber (22 gauge) needle and whether a good core biopsy can be obtained without the use of suction and secondly to determine the diagnostic yield and safety of 22 g Fine Needle Biopsy needle for liver biopsy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of H3B-6527, and to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of H3B-6527.
Background: Liver cancer begins in the cells of the liver. It can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation, or even a liver transplant. A less invasive treatment may be able to help some people with liver cancer. It is called percutaneous transarterial embolization (TAE). For TAE, a material is injected into blood vessels to block the blood flow that is feeding the tumor. Researchers want to test a new material for TAE that may shrink tumors and can be seen on x-ray and CT images. The embolization may sometimes be combined with thermal ablation, or cooking tumors with needles that deliver heat by electricity or microwave. Objective: To test an embolization material called an LC LUMI beads. To see if it can block blood vessels that provide blood to cancerous tumors and to see how the beads look on x-ray and CT images. Eligibility: Adults 18 85 years old who have been diagnosed with liver cancer Design: Participants will have routine blood tests, physical exams, and x-rays. Participants will be screened with blood tests, physical exam, and medical history. They will have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis. This will include a contrast drink and a contrast (dye) injected in the veins. Participants will be admitted to the clinic. They will repeat the screening tests. Participants may have other tests. These may include x-rays, other scans, or ultrasound. Participants will be evaluated for general anesthesia. They will get counseling about the procedure. Participants will get anesthesia. The LC LUMI beads will be injected into blood vessels. The beads contain iodine, which makes them visible by x-ray and by a CT scan machine. Participants will have follow-up visits for 12 months. They will have CT scans and/or other radiologic tests.
A prospective randomized clinical study, with cross-sectional comparisons and correlations was conducted from May 2012 to July 2015 with a sample of 231 patients who have undergone hepatectomy or pancreatectomy, randomized into 2 groups. In group A was applied postoperatively the protocol Fast-track, while in group B the conventional postoperative care. Demographic and clinical data were collected. In 170 patients, Neuropeptide Y (NPY), Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/Cortisol plasma levels were measured by ELISA method: a) at the day of patient's admission, b) the operation day, c) the 3rd postoperative day or prior to discharge.
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose escalation study in adult subjects with advanced colorectal, gastric, hepatic or pancreatic cancer. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SM04755 administered orally. Upon determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), expansion cohorts may be enrolled.
Background: - Ablation is a procedure that heats tumor tissue to a high temperature to destroy it. Doctors perform this procedure by putting a probe in the tumor. This delivers heat to the site. Currently, doctors tell what area is heated by using the probe s manufacturer estimates. These estimates are imprecise. Doctors insert small needles to measure the temperature around the area being heated. Doctors also perform scans of the area, but these cannot show which tissue has been heated and which has not. Right now, only contrast scans can show that. But researchers have developed software that uses images from routine scans to create a temperature map. They want to test the software to see if doctors can monitor the procedure without using more needles and without contrast scans. Objectives: - To test software that might help doctors perform ablations better in the future. Eligibility: - People over 18 years of age already scheduled to have an ablation. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history. - Participants will visit the clinic for their already-scheduled ablation. The doctor will use the study software to analyze the temperature in the area being heated. The software will not come into contact with a participant s body. - Participants will undergo scans that are necessary for the procedure, but one or two additional scans may be done as part of this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of CS-1008 in combination with sorafenib to sorafenib alone for treating liver cancer. Approximately 160 participants will take part in this study at approximately 22 sites (4 in the US, 8 in Japan, and 10 in Asia).
