Filter by:This study was conducted to provide preliminary data for the main trial to compare efficacy between bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using twin internally cooled-wet electrodes and switching monopolar RFA using separable clustered electrodes in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after locoregional treatment.
This is a multi-center study to prospectively gather clinically-characterized plasma samples to determine the diagnostic performance characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) of the HCCBloodTest among patients with cirrhosis with and without HCC
Background: A most common liver cancer in adults is hepatocellular carcinoma. Other kinds of liver cancer happen when colorectal or pancreatic cancer spreads to the liver. Researchers want to study if a combination of drugs helps people with these cancers. The drugs are nivolumab, tadalafil, and vancomycin. Objective: To investigate if nivolumab given with tadalafil and vancomycin causes liver cancer to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastases to the liver from colorectal or pancreatic cancer for which standard treatment has not worked Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and cancer history Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities Physical exam Heart test. Some participants may meet with a cardiologist and/or have another heart test. Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Blood and urine tests Tumor sample review. This can be from a previous procedure. Participants will receive the study drugs in 4-week cycles. In each cycle participants will: Get nivolumab through a small plastic tube in the arm on Day 1. Take tadalafil by mouth 1 time every day. Take vancomycin by mouth 4 times a day. They will take it every day for weeks 1 3, then not take it for week 4. Complete a medicine diary of dates, times, missed doses and symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will repeat screening tests and will give stool samples or rectal swabs. After their last cycle, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over 3 months. Then they will be contacted every 6 months by phone or email and asked about their general well-being. ...
This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, study. Individuals who are assessed for microwave (MW) ablation of HCC in accordance with their institution's standard of care (SOC), who meet study entry criteria and sign the informed consent, will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with MW ablation and afterwards followed for up to 36 months after the original ablation procedure to assess efficacy and safety. In addition to the final analysis after all enrolled patients complete the 36-month observation period, a summary of selected endpoints will be provided after all enrolled patients have completed each of the 1-month and 12-month visits. To provide sites with an opportunity to get equal experience in the use of the Certus system, there will 3 patients treated as part of a run-in phase. These patients will only be included in the safety set.
The objective of this Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) is to collect and describe safety and effectiveness profile of Cabometyx™ in real clinical practice setting, according to the approved labelling after the approval of marketing authorization.
Liver cancer (HCC) is the second cause of death related to cancer worldwide, with about 750,000 deaths from this cause in 2012. Although the early diagnosis of liver cancer increases the available treatment options, the methods currently used for screening are not sufficiently sensitive for this purpose. The investigators provide a high-performance and highly reliable in vitro platform that allows the identification and quantification of autoantibodies in serum for use as biomarkers of liver cancer, using an ELISA test (Yliver). The aim of the study is to demonstrate whether the Yliver test can be used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with a collection of samples from 58 patients diagnosed with HCC, 42 cirrhosis, 40 normal controls and the inclusion of 25-50 patients with chronic liver disease without cirrhosis.
This is an independent optional sub-study parallel to TARGET-HCC (NCT02954094). The purpose of Direct-Acting Antiviral-Post Authorization Safety Study (DAA-PASS) is to investigate the impact of exposure to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) on early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients following successful HCC treatment interventions.
Aim 1: The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing two strategies to promote HCV screening, follow-up testing, and treatment among baby-boomers (i.e. persons born between 1945-1965): inreach with electronic medical record alerts and provider education vs. combination of inreach and provider education plus mailed outreach and patient navigation. Aim 2: The investigators will evaluate patient navigation strategies to promote follow-up testing and treatment evaluation among non-baby boomer Parkland patients (i.e. born before 1945 or after 1965) who are either: a) HCV antibody positive but have not completed follow-up viral load testing or b) HCV viral load positive and who have not completed in-clinic treatment evaluation.
This is a retrospective study, all HIV-infected individuals followed up at the three designated HIV clinics in Hong Kong with and without HBV and/or HCV co-infection will be included in the analysis. The incidence and mortality of HCC among HIV-infected individuals with and without HBV/HCV co-infection in an Asian population will be determined.
This study was conducted to prospectively compare the efficacy, safety and mid-term outcomes of dual-switching monopolar (DSM) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with those of conventional single-switching monopolar (SSM) RFA in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
