Filter by:A single-arm, open-label clinical trial to assess the effects and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients at high risk of post surgery recurrence.
This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, phase III study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Nofazinlimab (CS1003) in combination with lenvatinib and placebo in combination with lenvatinib in the treatment of subjects with no prior systemic treatment and with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Subjects cannot be eligible for locoregional therapy. In this study, Nofazinlimab (CS1003) (or placebo) and lenvatinib are both considered as the study treatment while Nofazinlimab (CS1003) (or placebo) is the investigational product of and lenvatinib is selected as the basic treatment for HCC.
The complex management of hepatocellular carcinoma has prompted many learned societies to issue their management recommendations or decision-making algorithms to best assist in the therapeutic decision-making of patients with HCC. Over time, the use of the BCLC algorithm (for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer) has become essential, at least in the West, thanks to a relatively simple and applicable classification system, and the clinical validation of numerous studies. The BCLC algorithm thus relies on the general condition of the patient, the CHILD-PUGH score reflecting hepatic function, and the tumor extension to propose one or more therapeutic solutions according to the level of scientific evidence, associating with each one. subgroups the expected survival. While this BCLC classification has the merit of having the protocol for the management of HCC, thus avoiding many drifts related to possible local preferences, it also has many defects. For example, this classification is only rarely updated, which limits the integration of innovative therapies. Then, its design and updates were supported by the recommendations of a limited group of experts that is not necessarily representative of all the key players present daily in the management of CHC. Finally, some studies have begun to point out that this classification was interesting from a theoretical point of view, but that in practice the diversity of complex situations meant that its care recommendations were not applicable in a significant number of cases. The objective of our study is to analyze the applicability of the BCLC classification in real-life situations. To overcome possible "center effects", the investigators analyzed in an exhaustive way the therapeutic decisions taken during the multi-disciplinary consultation meetings of 2018 and 2019 at the level of a large French region, by relying on the regional network of OncoOccitanie Oncology Record. In a second step, the investigators will analyze the causes of the discrepancies to finally propose an improvement of this BCLC classification.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the anti-programmed-death-1 antibody (anti-PD-1) Sintilimab Injection in combination with transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads(TACE-DEB) in patients with BCLC Stage A/B Hepatocellular Carcinoma Beyond the Milan Criteria.
Regorafenib is an oral tumour deactivation agent that potently blocks multiple protein kinases, including kinases involved in tumour angiogenesis (VEGFR1, -2, -3, TIE2), oncogenesis (KIT, RET, RAF-1, BRAF, BRAFV600E), metastasis (VEGFR3, PDGFR, FGFR) and tumour immunity (CSF1R). In particular, regorafenib inhibits mutated KIT, a major oncogenic driver in gastrointestinal stromal tumours, and thereby blocks tumour cell proliferation. Regorafenib has shown in clinical trials an acceptable benefit-risk across different tumor types, including colorectal cancer (CRC), GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) and HCC. The most frequently observed adverse drug reactions (≥30%) in patients receiving regorafenib are pain, hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), asthenia/fatigue, diarrhea, decreased appetite and food intake, hypertension, and infection. Nivolumab is a human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody to the programmed death (PD)-1 receptor, blocking the interaction with PD-ligand (PD-L)1/PD-L213 and restoring T-cell-mediated antitumor activity. Nivolumab was evaluated in second-line the CheckMate 040 Study (Escalation and Expansion cohort. In both cohorts of the CheckMate 040 Study, the safety profile was acceptable and there were no reported nivolumab-related deaths. In the dose-expansion cohorts from the Phase 1/2 CheckMate 040 Study, 65% of patients had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade 18% with Grade 3 or 4 TRAEs with fatigue, pruritus, and rash being the most common. Elevation of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were the most frequent Grade 3-4 TRAEs. AST/ALT elevations, however, were generally asymptomatic and readily managed. For this reason, the rationale of this Phase I/IIa trial is to optimize the action of regorafenib and nivolumab but bearing in mind the potential impact of the drug-interaction and enhancement of the severity and/or frequency of adverse events. Thus, regorafenib will be administered as monotherapy during the first 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks on plus 1 week off) of treatment to enhance T cell trafficking and infiltration into the tumor bed to increase the benefits of anti-PD-PD-L1, specific stimuli while emitting Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), followed by regorafenib plus nivolumab to impact step 7 of the cancer immunity cycle described by Chen. The anti-PD-L1 effect under hypoxia was evaluated by Noman et al in a tumor model and they postulated that the abrogated myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC)-mediated T cell suppression is achieved in part by modulating the cytokine production (IL-6 and IL-10). Specifically, hypoxia could promote immunosuppression by reducing the cytotoxic efficacy of immune cells, by increasing the peri-tumoral immunosuppressive cell populations infiltration of and priming the expression of immunosuppressive cytokines. Current options for first line are sorafenib and atezolizumab-bevacizumab. Lenvatinib has been shown to be non-inferior to sorafenib, but it is less frequently used and its toxicity profile mandates a stringent selection of patients. Sorafenib shares some molecular targets with regorafenib, but this has specific action against VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, Tie-2, PDGFR, FGFR-1, c-Kit, RET and p38-alpha7. Both are antiangiogenic as bevacizumab, but while bevacizumab is limited to the VEGF pathway, they act on several additional target involved in cancer progression. Atezolizumab and nivolumab target the PD1 checkpoint but acting at different levels: PD-1 receptor for Nivolumab and PD-L1 for Atezolizumab. This implies a difference and if resistance to one of the antibodies emerges during treatment, the use of the other one may overcome such key event leading to treatment failure. Recently, the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab improved OS in comparison to sorafenib; in addition, durvalumab monotherapy was not inferior to sorafenib. The aim of this study is to do a sequential treatment combining regorafenib, second- line treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with anti PD-1 to enhance the outcome of patients based on the synergy between both drugs.
This study evaluates whether it is safe to Focused Ultrasound Ablation (FUSA) treatments with and without PD-1 blockade and with and without intratumoral poly-ICLC. A device called the Echopulse will be used for the FUSA therapy. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts depending on their disease and treatment status. In Cohort 1, patients will receive FUSA therapy while receiving PD-1 blockade therapy as part of standard clinical care treatment. In Cohort 2, patients who discontinue or are ineligible for PD-1 blockade therapy will undergo FUSA without concurrent systemic therapy, with the goal of utilizing the FUSA to boost the innate immune response. The optional secondary regimen will combine FUSA (+/- PD-1 blockade) with intratumoral poly-ICLC.
The purpose of this registry study is to gather effectiveness, QoL, safety and procedural information on TheraSphere® for the treatment of participants with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCC) and liver metastases for colon cancer (mCRC) in real world clinical practice settings in France.
A phase II clinical trial is utilized to examine whether BMS-986253 (25 subjects) or Cabiralizumab (25 subjects) when combined with Nivolumab offers improved radiographic objective response rates (ORR) over Nivolumab monotherapy (25 subjects) in advanced HCC patients.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus standard of care (SOC) (sorafenib or lenvatinib) in all randomized participants with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received prior systemic therapy.
The rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involving portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is up to 50% in Guangxi province, China. Some of them will receive hepatic resection, especially those with type I or II PVTT. However, 5-years recurrence rate is up to 75% after surgery. Some retrospective studies found postoperative radiotherapy may reduce the rate of recurrence. Moreover, few retrospective studies also found neoadjuvant radiotherapy (PMID: 27317960) may improve overall survival for HCC patients involving type II/III PVTT. However, the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant raidotherapy for HCC involving type I PVTT is unknown.
