Filter by:An open-label multi-center phase Ib/II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody AK104 plus lenvatinib as the first-line therapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
The automatic fusion of the ultrasound with a cone-beam CT volume will guide the positioning of the electrodes, despite the visibility of the tumor in ultrasound, in patients treated with irreversible electroporation in the interventional radiology room at Avicenna Hospital for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The objective is to evaluate the primary success rate of the automatic cone-beam CT fusion procedure and ultrasound, regardless of the tumor's visibility status in ultrasound.
High-risk patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) suffer from a high ratio of recurrence after liver transplantation (LT). Lenvatinib, as a novel targeted drug, has shown an excellent effect in the treatment of advanced HCC, but there is no study on its effect in preventing HCC recurrence in the patients undergoing transplantation. Therefore, to evaluate the role of adjuvant lenvatinib in preventing recurrence of high-risk LT recipients with HBV-related HCC, the investigators retrospectively analyzed 23 high-risk patients consisting of lenvatinib group (n=14) and control group (n=9) with HBV-related HCC who underwent LT. Disease-free survival (DFS) and HCC recurrence of the two groups were compared. The adverse events (AEs) and drug tolerance of lenvatinib were evaluated.
Retrospective data on 50 prospectively-collected HCC patients with beyond-Milan criteria with >6cm tumors were analyzed. 5-year OS of 76.2% was found in patients with both AFP <200 ng/ml and GGT <104 IU/mL with tumors less than 10 cm diameter. Thus, GGT values add to AFP in patient prognosis.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the preliminary antitumor activity as indicated by overall response rate (ORR) of tislelizumab in combination with lenvatinib in participants with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The objective of this protocol is to obtain a better match between the actual staging and the proposed treatment in order to avoid inadequate treatments at risk of complications. In patients with HCC classified as BCLC A to C, the combination of 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET- TomoDensitoMetry (TDM) with conventional imaging would clinically significantly modify the therapeutic strategy initially planned by conventional imaging alone. This change in therapeutic strategy would be from curative to palliative treatment or from loco-regional palliative to systemic palliative treatment. 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans will be performed after inclusion of the patient in the study and prior to multidisciplinary consultation meeting for treatment discussion.
Cabozantinib, a small molecule directed to vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, MET and AXL, has shown to significantly improve the overall survival (OS) over placebo in the randomized phase 3 CELESTIAL trial in patients who had up to two lines of prior systemic therapy (including sorafenib) with progression on at least one in comparison to patients who received best supportive care. Although cabozantinib shares similar targets with sorafenib/regorafenib, they present different toxicity profile. While the most common grade 3-4 Adverse Events reported for sorafenib were fatigue (4%), diarrhea (8%), hand-foot reaction (8%) and hypertension (2%); the most frequent grade 3-4 Adverse Events for cabozantinib were hand-foot reaction (3.6%), hypertension (3.4%) and elevation of AST (2.6%). In clinical practice, regorafenib, ramucirumab and cabozantinib are approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA) as second-line treatment approved by EMA until now. However, more than 40% of candidate patients to 2nd line do not meet the RESORCE criteria or REACH-2 trial and are only candidates to cabozantinib treatment. However, investigators do not have safety data about those patients who are treated with other treatments than sorafenib in first line neither data about the real impact of sorafenib-intolerant patients according to the RESORCE trial definition. For this reason, investigators propose to explore the role of cabozantinib in patients who were not considered in the CELESTIAL trial.
This clinical trial evaluates whether 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT can improve upon the diagnosis and management of liver cancer. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, a scan that uses magnetic and radio waves to produce detailed structural information of the organs, tissues and structures within the body. PET stands for positron emission tomography, an imaging test that helps to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (radiotracer) to show this activity. CT scan uses X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within the body. In patients that have been diagnosed with liver cancer, a protein called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) appears in large amounts on the surface of the cancerous cells. The radioactive chemical compound (68Ga-PSMA) has been designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to the PSMA protein on liver cancer cells. 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT may be better in diagnosing and managing liver cancer.
The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between postoperative recovery of liver function and gut microbiota in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver resection patients were divided into the recovery group and the recovery delay group according to the recovery level of liver function on the fifth day after the operation. Benign liver disease was used as a control. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the differences in gut microbiota between the three groups. Then, fecal microbiota transplantation was performed in a mouse hepatectomy model. Through this study, the investigators hope to understand the relationship between gut microbiota and postoperative recovery of liver function in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, so as to provide a new therapeutic direction for patients in the aspect of perioperative liver function recovery.
