Filter by:This international multi-centre phase 3 randomized control trial investigates whether giving a very high dose of radiation in a single treatment session (ultra-high dose: experimental) using advanced technology called MR-Linac is more effective than a high dose (control) for treating liver tumors that have spread from other parts of the body (liver metastases). This study also aims to identify predictors of treatment response and side effects by analyzing various factors such as imaging markers and genetic profiles. Liver metastases are common in several cancers, but surgery is often not feasible for many patients. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), which delivers focused radiation to tumors, is an alternative treatment option. Previous studies have shown promising results with SBRT, but the optimal radiation dose for liver metastases is still uncertain. This study will look at patients with specific types of primary cancers known to respond well to SBRT. Treatment effectiveness will be assessed by monitoring tumor control, overall survival, and quality of life. By comparing ultra-high dose SBRT with standard high dose, the study aims to determine if the former can provide better tumor control with fewer side effects. If successful, this approach could offer a significant advancement in the treatment of liver metastases, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.
This study is an open-label Phase Ib (Part A) dose escalation followed by a blinded, randomized, multi cohort Phase 2a (Part B) comparison of combination vs. reference regimens. Currently study will only be enrolling the Phase 1b and the Phase 2a protocol requirements will be added to the study near completion of the Phase 1b
PONV management has been recommended as a necessary part of enhanced recovery protocols during the perioperative period, and PONV risk assessment is, therefore, a necessary first step in determining the number of medications or strategies for prophylaxis and treatment by considering the number of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. However, the external validity of two commonly-used PONV prediction models for patients undergoing liver surgery is unsatisfied, and need to be updated for liver cancer populations to better inform personalized perioperative care regime and individualized decision-making in clinical practice.
The goal of the study is to explore whether the usage of DEB-TACE (Drug-Eluting Bead Transarterial Chemoembolization) prior to SALT (Sequential Adult Left Lateral Liver Transplantation) can prolong the recurrence-free survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is a single-center, exploratory study. The patients scheduled for SALT receive DEB-TACE 2 weeks prior to the surgery. The primary outcome: Recurrence-free survival (RFS) The secondary outcome:1) Overall survival (OS)；2) Pathological response rate (Pathological Response); 3) Proportion of patients completing SALT; 4) Adverse events related to DEB-TACE.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity of CYBRID Score for predicting in-vivo clinical response based on surgical response or RECIST 1.1 for neoadjuvant and locally advanced/metastatic patients, respectively. The secondary purposes is to determine the sensitivity of the CYBRID Score for predicting in-vivo clinical response based on surgical response or RECIST 1.1 for neoadjuvant and locally advanced/metastatic patients, respectively.
Worldwide, liver cancers are the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Even when liver cancer is suspected by blood tests, imaging is required to determine the location, size, and extent of disease. Medical societies therefore recommend surveillance with ultrasound every 6 months in at-risk patients. However, a key challenge to improving the survival is that ultrasound may miss half of early-stage liver cancers, thus diagnosis must rely on additional tests such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or biopsy. Hence, there is a clear need to improve the ability to detect liver cancers, especially with ultrasound. The investigator's team proposes novel ultrasound approaches to detect cancer nodules invisible on conventional ultrasound based on differences in mechanical and structural properties between liver and tumor. Improving detection is critical because liver cancer can be cured only if detected at an early stage, as shown by improvements in survival rates in patients enrolled in surveillance programs. The investigator's multi-disciplinary, national, and international team includes experts in clinical fields (hepatology, oncology, radiology, pathology), basic sciences (engineering, medical physics, machine learning, biostatistics), and patient partnership. The investirgator will apply the methodology of patient partner recruitment and collaborate with the Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public to select potential new collaborators. This will permit this project to be informed at every stage by patient and family perspectives, ensuring that the results of this project will be more robust, impactful, and aligned with the priorities, needs and experiences of those who live with liver cancer. The investigator submits a research proposal focused on advanced imaging techniques because imaging constitutes a foundation for surveillance, diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and assessment of treatment response in patients with liver cancer.
It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.
This is a clinical study focused on the use of fiducial marker-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treating malignant tumors, including lung, liver, pancreatic, and kidney/adrenal cancers. Here's a breakdown of the key components of the study: Study Design: Prospective, single-center, exploratory clinical study. Patient Enrollment: The study intends to enroll patients diagnosed with malignant tumors requiring fiducial marker-guided SBRT. Each tumor type (lung, liver, pancreatic, kidney/adrenal) aims to include 15 cases. Informed Consent: Patients are required to sign informed consent before participating in the study, indicating their understanding of the procedures, risks, and benefits involved. Intervention: Enrolled patients will undergo stereotactic radiotherapy for their respective malignant tumors. During this process, fiducial markers will be implanted according to the study protocol. Monitoring: Following implantation of fiducial markers, the study will monitor adverse events associated with the procedure. This includes any complications or side effects resulting from the marker implantation process. Success Rate: The study will assess the success rate of fiducial marker implantation. This likely involves evaluating the accuracy and reliability of marker placement for guiding SBRT treatment. SBRT Treatment Error: The study will also monitor SBRT treatment errors. This involves tracking any deviations or inaccuracies in the delivery of stereotactic radiotherapy, potentially caused by issues such as improper fiducial marker placement or technical errors in treatment administration. Overall, the study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using fiducial marker-guided SBRT for treating various types of malignant tumors to assess both the safety and the efficacy with a focus on patient outcomes and treatment accuracy.
Primary liver cancer (PLC) is the sixth most common malignancy in the world and the third most common cause of malignancy death. In 2020, there were about 905,677 new cases of PLC worldwide, and 830,180 deaths. Despite the availability of a variety of treatments for PLC, the 5-year net survival rate is still only 5% to 30%. How to effectively reduce the disease burden of PLC is a major public health problem that needs to be solved worldwide. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of PLC caused by different pathogenic factors are different. Therefore, it is of great significance to fully identify the risk factors of PLC, be familiar with the clinical characteristics and prognosis of disease development, and understand the relevant monitoring and follow-up strategies for the prevention and treatment of PLC.
Trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has emerged as a treatment option for chemotherapy-refractory diseases in Liver metastases. By delivering chemotherapy agents directly to the tumor site, TACE can maximize local drug concentrations and reduce systemic adverse reactions. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that functions as an angiogenesis inhibitor. It works by slowing the growth of new blood vessels by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). The application of Bevacizumab during TACE has not been reported. In this study, we will evaluate the the overall survival (OS)、efficacy, and safety of the application of Bevacizumab during TACE in patients with Liver Metastases by designing an open, single-arm phase II clinical study.
