Filter by:Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS)-CT/MRI fusion imaging substantially improved the visibility of small tumors that were inconspicuous on both US and US-CT/MRI fusion imaging, contributing to successful percutaneous radiofrequency ablation.
High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) can be used in liver tumour ablation to minimise breathing related movements. The jet cannula is placed freely inside an endotracheal tube (ETT) and the outflow of air is passive, moving out in the interspace between the jet cannula and the inner walls of the ETT. This study aims to investigate whether the tube size can influence the washout of carbon dioxide using two different sizes of ETT's.
Percutaneus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors causes acute pain during the periooperative setting. In order to facilitate tumor access, patient should collaborate with a surgeon during the procedurę, therefore should be conscious. This study aims to assess the impact of a single shot thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) on a patient's haemodynamic stability, patient's and operator's comfort and satisfaction during the operation and analgesia in the post-operative period.
This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, study. Individuals who are assessed for microwave (MW) ablation of HCC in accordance with their institution's standard of care (SOC), who meet study entry criteria and sign the informed consent, will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with MW ablation and afterwards followed for up to 36 months after the original ablation procedure to assess efficacy and safety. In addition to the final analysis after all enrolled patients complete the 36-month observation period, a summary of selected endpoints will be provided after all enrolled patients have completed each of the 1-month and 12-month visits. To provide sites with an opportunity to get equal experience in the use of the Certus system, there will 3 patients treated as part of a run-in phase. These patients will only be included in the safety set.
The performance of hepatectomy for liver tumors using the thoraco-abdominal approach (TAA) versus the abdominal approach (AA) is still debated. The aim of the study is the analysis of the perioperative outcome of patients operated with or without the TAA for liver tumors.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used for small liver lesion detection and characterization. In patients who undergo RFA, MRI is often performed before RFA, whereas immediate technical success is usually assessed by CT. Conventional visual assessment of two modalities may be more challenging than being anticipated, because acquisition position, respiration, and spatial resolution differ between the two. Therefore, the study purpose is to evaluate the results of software-assisted ablative margin assessment using registration of different pre-and post-RFA modalities compared with the conventional method of side-by-side MRI-CT comparison in patients with HCCs.
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of two-dimensional shear-wave elastography (SWE) for staging hepatic fibrosis in the background liver parenchyma in patients with liver tumors before hepatic resection, using resected tissue pathology as a reference standard.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of cryosurgery plus natural killer(NK) immunotherapy to tumors in transplanted liver.
This is a phase 1b/2, multicenter, open-label, basket trial to evaluate the safety of talimogene laherparepvec injected intrahepatically into liver tumors alone and in combination with systemic intravenous (IV) administration of pembrolizumab, in subjects with non-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) liver metastases from breast adenocarcinoma (BC), colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), gastroesophageal cancer (GEC), melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Part 1 Group A, and subjects with HCC with and without viral hepatitis in Part 1 Group B (viral hepatitis is only applicable in combination setting), and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intratumoral talimogene laherparepvec in combination with systemic pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor positive breast cancer, CRC, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Part 2 Group A and subjects with HCC with and without viral hepatitis in Part 2 Group B. The objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the safety of intrahepatic injection of talimogene laherparepvec into liver tumors alone and in combination with systemically administered pembrolizumab for the non-HCC (Group A) and HCC (Group B) cohorts separately. Part 2 consists of 2-stage design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with systemic pembrolizumab. Efficacy and safety will be evaluated in each of the five non-HCC tumor types from Group A separately. Similarly, the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment will be determined for Group B HCC subjects. As of Protocol Amendment 6 (dated 26 October 2021), intrahepatic injections of talimogene laherparepvec and liver biopsies are no longer performed in this study. Enrollment for this study has stopped.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze the value of 3D ultrasound perfusion imaging for treatment planning, the prediction of therapy success, and to monitor the treatment response in patients with a primary or metastatic liver tumor undergoing radiation treatment.
