this multi-center prospective cohort study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of drug-eluting bead TACE compared with conventional TACE in terms of objective response in unresectable HCC
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. TBI 302 is being developed for the treatment of inoperable HCC by intravenous infusion. The objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of TBI 3002.
To assess the prognostic role of pretreatment LMR in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
Background. The main risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is cirrhosis of any etiology, with an annual risk between 1 and 6%, being currently the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis and the third cause of death for cancer in the world. In our country there is little information about the incidence of HCC in this population. It has been shown that there is a change in the gut microbiome (set of genetic material of microorganisms that make up the intestinal bacterial flora) as the severity of the cirrhosis progresses. This change in the microbiome has been associated with clinical decompensation events of cirrhosis. However, there are no previous studies in the world that demonstrate an impact of the change of the microbiome in cirrhosis as a precursor to the development of HCC. Our team has compared the profile of the microbiome in patients with cirrhosis with and without HCC. We observed that patients with HCC present changes in the phylum Firmicutes, genus Fusobacterium and change in the bacteroides / prevotella ratio. This pattern was associated with a pro-inflammatory profile. In murine models, it has been postulated that modulation of the gut microbiome through the use of probiotics could have a clinical role in the prevention of HCC development. This research project aims to answer the following question: in patients with cirrhosis, does the nutritional supplement with probiotics prevent HCC development? Objective: To compare the incidence of HCC through intervention with probiotics in cirrhosis. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of probiotics in patients with Child Pugh A-B cirrhosis at 3-year follow-up. Likewise, the type of microbiome found as a predictor of the risk of HCC development will be evaluated. It will include 280 patients, 140 in each branch. Basal blood and stool samples will be obtained and every 6 months. The typing and quantification of the microbiome in samples of fecal matter will be carried out by amplifying a specific region (V3-V4) of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene. Likewise, the presence of endotoxins (LPS) and cytokines (IL6, TNF alpha) in plasma will be determined to analyze the immune environment and the expression of the TLR4 receptor in mononuclear cells.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate combined with PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 in HCC patients with high risk of disease recurrence contained microsatellite lesions, microvascular invasion(MVI) or secondary and above portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) after radical resection. Patients will be randomized 1:1 either to the experimental arm to receive Apatinib Mesylate and PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 or to the standard therapy arm of hepatic arterial infusion(HAI) .
The aim of this prospective, randomized study is to compare TRA vs TFA for superselective embolization of HCC using bland microparticles performed by multiple operators. In particular, main objectives are to compare: 1. the success rates of TRA and TFA including crossing over events between techniques 2. the inter-operator outcomes in terms of time to complete the vascular access and the vessel catheterization 3. access-related adverse events 4. patient preference and reported discomfort
This is a Phase II , Open-label , Investigator-initiated Trail of SHR-1210 (an Anti-PD-1 Inhibitor) in Combination With Apatinib in Patients With unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 combination with Apatinib as a preoperative treatment of unresectable HCC.
Egypt is an endemic area of HCV.Cirrhosis and HCC are the most serious complications of chronic HCV infection.Some studies noted that the risk of HCC increased 17-fold among HCV-infected patients compared with anti-HCV negative controls. Many studies demonstrate that direct antiviral therapy seems to accelerate the development of HCC, soon after the end of treatment, in those patients at higher risk of HCC occurrence or recurrence; and preliminary reports seem to indicate that HCC developed after direct antiviral therapy has more aggressive features. These findings clearly indicate the need for aggressive and close monitoring of cirrhotic patients during and after antiviral treatment, to detect and treat HCC at their earliest occurrence. Genetic variation plays a key role in HCC susceptibility and development of the disease.Genotype distribution frequency data can be used to map single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) diversity in a population and to examine the risk and development of specific diseases.Many reports indicate an association between SNPs in certain genes and the susceptibility and clinicopathological status of HCC. MMP-1 is an endogenous peptide enzyme that is most widely expressed in interstitial collagenase,which can degrade the extracellular matrix surrounding tumor cells. It is involved in many stages of tumorigenesis, in angiogenesis, and in suppression of tumor cell apoptosis . MMP‑1 − 1607 1G/2G (rs1799750) contains a guanine insertion/deletion polymorphism at position − 1607 and is a functional (SNP) that can upregulate MMP expression. The association between the MMP‑1 − 1607 1G/2G polymorphism and the emergence of several diseases including the risk for many cancers has been reported. There are results suggest that MMP-1 is overexpressed in a large proportion of patients with HCC which correlated with the disease progression and poor clinical outcome. Furthermore, MMP-1 high expression proved to be a risk factor for tumor recurrence and independent molecular marker of prognosis in HCC and may become a novel target in the strategies for the prediction of tumor progression and prognosis of this disease. Aim: Is to asses: The contribution of MMP‑1-1607 genotype polymorphism to the risk of HCC on top of HCV. The relationship between MMP‑1−1607 gene polymorphism with HCC in patients who received antiviral treatment to HCV.
This study aims to develop a novel, reliable, liquid biopsy-based biomarker system for relapse of HCC associated with hepatitis B after liver transplantation.
