NCT ID: NCT01567631 Recruiting - Liver Diseases Clinical Trials

Classical Procedure Versus Intrahepatic Glisson's Approach

LAHIGA
Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to compare the classical procedure with intrahepatic Glisson's approach for laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy. The validity, feasibility and limitations were assessed objectively through our clinical prospective study. The investigators expect laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy with intrahepatic Glisson's approach is safe, effective and feasible.

NCT ID: NCT01567046 Recruiting - Chordoma Clinical Trials

Studying Genes in Tissue Samples From Younger and Adolescent Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This research trial studies genes in tissue samples from younger and adolescent patients with soft tissue sarcomas. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer

NCT ID: NCT01564810 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Colorectal Neoplasms

Cetuximab in Combination With Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: September 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

In this study, the investigators assessed the effect of Cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01549522 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Stage 4 Liver Cancer

Qualitative Research for Stage 4 Liver Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is opinion based, experiential research and is NOT a drug trial.

NCT ID: NCT01542281 Recruiting - Colorectal Neoplasm Clinical Trials

Pre-habilitation to Improve Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection for Cancer

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

1. To determine whether a combined nutritional support program and exercise-based prehabilitation is superior to nutritional support alone in increasing functional recovery and reducing post-operative morbidity after surgery for HPB malignancy. 2. To understand which measures of immediate surgical recovery are sensitive to prehabilitation interventions and predict change in later outcome measures.

NCT ID: NCT01511146 Recruiting - Liver Metastasis Clinical Trials

Intrahepatic Chemotherapy to Patients With Non-resectable Liver Metastases From Solid Tumor

Start date: July 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with intrahepatic chemotherapy is a good options in patients with liver metastases. If the patients have colorectal cancer and never had got chemotherapy the investigators will use oxaliplatin together with capecitabine. If the patient is K-RAS wild type the investigators will add cetuximab. In patients who had received oxaliplatin or in patients with other cancers the investigators will use mitomycin and gemcitabine together with capecitabine.

NCT ID: NCT01494324 Recruiting - Liver Cancer Clinical Trials

Examinations of Tissue From Ablated Malignant Liver Metastases as Predictors of Outcome

Start date: October 27, 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can do some tests on tissue from the area of the ablation. The investigators want to know if a test can help predict whether the ablation worked. The treated tumor is normally evaluated with CT. The CT shows signs of treated tumor(s) in the area treated by ablation. However, cancer cells may begin to grow in or near the treated area. The CT scan cannot tell us if the cells are new cancer cells or if they are healthy liver cells that just look different because of the ablation. The test the investigators will study should be able to tell us the difference.

NCT ID: NCT01442324 Recruiting - Cholangiocarcinoma Clinical Trials

Pilot Study of Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) to Treat Metastatic Liver Cancer & Cholangiocarcinoma

Start date: February 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Single-arm pilot clinical trial. Patients will be subjected to irreversible electroporation (IRE) as the sole treatment of nodules not considered treatable by resection or thermal ablation.

NCT ID: NCT01436721 Recruiting - Liver Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Use of an Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose After Hepatic Surgery

Start date: August 2011
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Hepatectomy is one of the best treatments for malignant or benign lesions of the liver. The mortality and morbidity rates after hepatectomy have declined in recent years because of the precise measurement of liver functional reserve, a better understanding of liver anatomy, meticulous haemostasis during operation and improved postoperative management. Although surgical techniques have improved, life-threatening complications, such as intra-abdominal bleeding, bile leakage and subphrenic infection, now cannot be completed avoided. The local complications were most associated with the liver section treatment during the operation. Hence, the need for safer and more effective hemostatic treatment than the conventional approaches, such as intraoperative pressure by surgical gauze, ligatures, and electrocoagulation by mono- or bipolar instruments. Surgicel® absorbable Haemostat is a sterile absorbable knitted fabric prepared by the controlled oxidation of regenerated cellulose. After Surgicel® has been saturated with blood, it swells into a brownish or black gelatinous mass which aids in the formation of a clot, thereby serving as a haemostatic adjunct in the control of local haemorrhage barriers on section. The present randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Surgicel® absorbable Haemostat covering the raw cut surface during the hepatectomy.

NCT ID: NCT01423708 Recruiting - Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trials

Everolimus in de Novo Liver Transplantation: a Multicentre Randomized Study

EPOCAL
Start date: February 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Safety and Efficacy of Everolimus in adult de novo liver transplant recipients.
