Filter by:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death that ranks sixth in terms of incident cases, with an overall 5 years survival of 18%. Despite a significant improvement in treatment strategy, the overall survival of HCC remains low due to high recurrence, progressive liver dysfunction and the high fatality of the disease. Surgical resection has been applied in a number of patients; however, surgery has been associated with a high incidence of recurrence (approximately 70% within 5 years). TACE is generally applied on intermediate-stage HCC. However, TACE is not satisfied with improving overall survival. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective treatment for these patients. At present, the overall objective response rate (ORR) of single or sequential therapy is not satisfied, and the over survival (OS) improvement is not ideal. Therefore, combined therapy maybe the good choice for patients with advanced HCC. This study focuses on the in-operable, BCLC-B/C HCC patients. Through the combination of local therapy (TACE), anti-angiogenic therapy (Sorafenib), and immunotherapy (PD-1 monoclonal antibody), it is expected to change the tumor microenvironment, restore the immune response, strengthen the anti-tumor effect of various treatments, and improve the therapeutic efficacy in patients with BCLC-B/C HCC.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the quality of life of patients over 75 years of age undergoing palliative chemotherapy for digestive cancer. It is a non-interventional study that evaluates the quality of life before and after a cycle of chemotherapy with a composite criterion including: a standardized questionnaire "Cancer specific quality of Life questionnaire" (QLQC30), an assessment of autonomy by "Activity of daily living" questionnaire (ADL), and the number of days of hospitalization.
Observational, feasibility study investigating biological aspects in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer undergoing treatment with SIRT, by translational analysis of biological samples.
To observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of camrelizumab in advanced liver cancer
PLATON (Platform for Analyzing Targetable Mutations) is a prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study with biobanking. In a first approach PLATON's pilot-study assesses genomic profiling in gastrointestinal cancer therapy and the frequencies of targetable mutations including Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability Status (MSI), performing Next-generation deep sequencing (NGS) using the Foundation Medicine assays on tumor specimen and EDTA-whole blood samples. The Study Protocol does not define any further medical intervention or evaluate the efficacy or safety of the treatment decision made by the investigator. Another important objective of PLATON's pilot project is to evaluate whether and how many patients are treated based on their genomic profiles.
Ultrasound (US) used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance suffers from low sensitivity (60-78%) due to fatty liver, obesity, and diffusely nodular appearance in cirrhosis. Once a suspicious malignant lesion is detected at US, guidelines recommend contrast-enhanced US, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to confirm suspicion. The investigators' team has developed innovative quantitative US (QUS) techniques that have a high potential to improve tissue characterization in terms of sensitivity and specificity. The investigators hypothesize that advanced QUS providing tumor viscoelasticity assessment, sub-resolution tissue structure characterization and US attenuation in the framework of a machine learning classification model can improve HCC diagnosis compared with standard US. Early detection through systematic US surveillance translates into curative therapy in a higher proportion of patients and into improvements in survival rates. Thus, there is an urgent need to investigate innovative and cost-effective imaging techniques for improving detection and characterization of HCC. The proposed QUS methods are experimental and will be validated in this proof-of-concept clinical study. A major impact of this work, for patients and medical institutions, will be to improve early-stage detection and characterization of HCC, and offer alternatives in patients with negative or inconclusive conventional US. QUS are low-cost, non-invasive and non-irradiating imaging modalities available from a single exam (i.e., no additional imaging session is necessary).
HCC resection candidates with inadequate future liver remnant will be enrolled in this study. They will be treated with Y90 radioembolization to help grow the liver enough to undergo liver resection. There will be 2 Patient Groups. The first group of patients will be treated with Y90 dose and embolic load as per standard-of-care. The second group of patients will be treated with the optimal Y90 dose and embolic load found in Patient Group 1.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in 90% of cirrhosis primary liver cancers. In France, 8,500 new cases of HCC occur each year, and about 8,000 deaths per year are related to this cancer. The 5-year survival rate is 10%, one of the lowest survival rates of all cancer types. HCC raises a number of major challenges: HCC is discovered at a curable stage in only 25% of cases, reflecting the marked delay in the diagnosis of early stages. The state of knowledge about HCC is well behind that of other cancers (no biomarker, complex carcinogenesis, influence of the aetiology, poorly valorised data, etc.). Rapid technological progress requires large-scale studies to evaluate new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The CHIEF project constitutes a common basis knowledge for research project using prospectively collected data in patients with HCC, regardless of the cause and stage of the cancer. This project is a Multicentre longitudinal observational study of patients with HCC with prospective data collection on inclusion and patient follow-up. Constitution of a biological resources collection. 5,000 patients will be included over 2 years with a follow-up of patients of 5 years.
This is a single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CEA-targeted CAR-T cells therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory CEA+ Cancer,and obtain the recommended dose and infusion plan.
Centralized biological collection of multicentric origin, retrospective and prospective of biological samples (tissues and fluids) taken within the framework of the diagnostic and therapeutic management of children and adolescents with liver tumor, and supported in the centers of French Society for Childhood Cancers (SFCE) with associated clinical database.
