Filter by:Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a 5-year overall survival rate of 60-80% post-surgery. Therefore, guidelines recommend surgical resection as the first-line choice for early to mid-stage HCC (CNLC stages IA-IIA or BCLC stages A/B) patients with well liver reserve function. However, the high postoperative recurrence rate is the main factor limiting long-term survival in HCC patients, with literature reporting recurrence rates exceeding 70%. Among these, half of the patients experience recurrence within two years post-surgery, imposing a heavy burden on patients' physical and mental health as well as on societal medical resources. Adopting effective treatment to improve surgical curability and reduce postoperative recurrence rates is one of the current research hotspots. Recent studies from the investigators' center indicate that hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and immunotherapy can provide definite efficacy for patients with advanced HCC, extending their survival time. Mechanistically, chemotherapy and immunotherapy have synergistic effects: tumor cell necrosis induced by chemotherapy can promote immune activation, while cytokines and neutralizing antibodies secreted by immune cells can enhance the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study, targeting HCC patients with high-risk recurrence factors, to evaluate whether neoadjuvant HAIC combined with a PD-1 monoclonal antibody (Tislelizumab) followed by adjuvant Tislelizumab post-surgery can reduce postoperative recurrence rates in HCC patients. The primary endpoint is the 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate post-surgery, while secondary endpoints include the objective response rate (ORR) of neoadjuvant therapy, the incidence of perioperative complications, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events, overall survival (OS) time, pathological complete response (pCR) rate of neoadjuvant therapy, and major pathological response (MPR) of neoadjuvant therapy. The investigators aim to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant HAIC plus PD-1 and adjuvant PD-1 in the perioperative treatment of HCC.
Saffron has recently gained considerable interest for its capacity to interfere with cancer at initiation and promotion stages as well as for cancer treatment. Although saffron and its constituents have been shown to have antitumorigenic and proapoptotic activities in different cancer cell lines. The aim of the current investigation is to identify the anti-cancer potentiality of saffron on hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
This is a Phase 1, open label clinical trial of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Nowadays, there are few second-line treatment options for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In order to further improve the efficacy of second-line treatment for advanced HCC, we plan to conduct a single-arm, single-center and phase II clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of the new second-line treatment for advanced HCC. Previous studies had shown that FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy tended to increase the median survival time of patients with advanced HCC, and significantly improved the progression-free survival and tumor response rate. Therefore, FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy has become one of the recommended treatments for advanced HCC in Chinese guidelines. A phase II clinical study had showed that sintilimab combined with fruquintinib was with a promising anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced HCC who had received standard treatment, with a median progression-free survival of 7.4 months and a tumor response rate of 31.6%. Furthermore, there was a synergistic effect among chemotherapy, immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy. Our previous phase II study showed that the median progression-free survival was 9.73 months, the median overall survival time was 14.63 months, and the tumor response rate was 43.3% in HCC patients extrahepatic metastasis who received FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy combined with targeted and immunotherapy. The results from our study suggested that the combination therapy had excellent anti-tumor efficacy and safety profile. Therefore. We intend to conduct this clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX systemic chemotherapy combined with fruquintinib and sintilimab in second-line treatment for patients with unresectable HCC after first-line treatment.
Previous studies had suggested hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and anti-angiogenic drugs had promising anti-tumor activity in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Two kinds of anti-angiogenic drugs (tyrosine kinase inhibitors [lenvatinib] and anti-VEGF antibody [bevacizumab]) were applied in first-line treatment of unresectable HCC. However, little is known about the difference of efficacy and safety between lenvatinib (LenHAP) or bevacizumab (BevHAP) combined with ICIs and HAIC in unresectable HCC.
Zinc homeostasis could play a role in advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) and its supplementation has been linked with improvement in liver function, decrease of hepatic complications and reduction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence. cACLD encompasses a heterogeneous group of patients with a variable risk of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and clinical events. The ANTICIPATE model is a validated model for stratifying these risks. Our aim is to demonstrate that the administration of zinc can reduce the rate and risk of presenting clinical events (first decompensation, HCC, death and liver transplantation). This study protocol describes an ongoing phase III, national, multicentre, randomized, double-blind clinical trial that will enroll 300 patients to receive either the trial treatment (zinc acexamate) or placebo. An inclusion period of 42 months is planned, with a minimal duration of follow up of 2 years. Our principal hypothesis is that zinc could modify the natural history of cACLD patients, with an overall improvement in prognosis
This is a retrospective study that retrospectively included patients with intermediate and advanced HCC beyond up to seven who received first-line treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and anti-angiogenic agents combined with/without TACE/HAIC from January 01, 2019 to December 31, 2023 in the Department of Hepatic Oncology and Department of Liver Cancer Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University.
Background: This study aims to investigate the correlation between cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after Liver Transplantation. Methods: The study retrospectively collected data enrolled from 519 HCC patients who underwent liver transplantation from two center(the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital, January 2015 to December 2020), Based on important variables, 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM) were performed respectively.
In this observational cohort study data on all patients undergoing liver transplantation after hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion at Medical University of Vienna will be prospectively recorded. Investigation of short- and long-term outcome in this cohort will be conducted.
The study evaluated the protein expression levels of FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and paracancerous tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). This study aimed to determine the role of FKBP12 in the outcome of liver transplantation recipients with HCC, especially those exceeding the Milan criteria. In addition, we explored how sirolimus administration affected LT recipients'prognosis depending on different FKBP12 expression, aiming to provide some advice for clinical sirolimus application after LT.
