Filter by:This study is a single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT combined with cardonilizumab and lenvastinib in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus
This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin plus lenvatinib and Sintilimab for patients hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus.
The aim of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in preventing recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombus after liver transplantation.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cancer in China, with a crude incidence rate of 26.67 per 100,000 population. Moreover, 357,800 new liver cancer cases are predicted to be diagnosed in China in 2020. HCC represents approximately 90% of all cases of primary liver cancer. HCC has a high predilection for portal vein invasion, which occurs in 44-62% of living patients with HCC. Patients with PVTT usually have an aggressive disease course, decreased liver function reserve, limited treatment options, thus worse overall survival. Among untreated HCC patients with PVTT, the median overall survival has been reported as low as 2 to 4 months with supportive care. Sorafenib is the first-line treatment for HCC patients with PVTT, however, it has shown unsatisfactory benefit. Notably, sorafenib combined with TACE significantly improved the TTP over sorafenib alone, albeit for no more than 1 month in the median TTP, and the median OS was not significantly prolonged. A promising drug-lenvatinib was approved in China on September 2018, in the China patients subgroup analysis showed an encouraging results. Lenvatinib group had showed a significant benefit in TTP, PFS and ORR. Also median overall survival time was significantly improved in China subgroup (Lenvatinib group: 15 months VS Sorafenib group: 10.2 months). However, REFLECT didn't enrolled patients who had tumors invading the maint portal vein. The mechanisms of lenvatinib or sorafenib combined with TACE were still unknown, and clinical data were limited. This study was to explore lenvatinib plus TACE versus sorafenib plus TACE for HCC with PVTT: efficacy and safety. Biomarkers expression of VEGFR, FGFR, FDGF-α, IL-2,etc would be detected to find the difference between the two groups, finally to analyze the relationship between clinical outcomes and biomarkers' expression. A better treatment modality to HCC with PVTT patients would be expected and promoted.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
According to the guidelines recommended, only a few new targeted therapy drugs treatment, such as Sorafenib, is proper. It's 3 year survival rate is only 8% or so. According to our previous study, patients with hepatic carcinoma without portal vein tumor thrombus backbone and the contralateral tumor thrombus applyed tumor excision, along with tumor thrombus, the 3 year survival rate can reach 39.9%, the 5-year survival rate can reach 22.7%, curative effect is obviously better.
It is a prospective and multi-center clinical research in China to compare the efficacy, safety and related impact factors between TACE alone and endovascular brachytherapy combined with stent placement and TACE for HCC with main portal vein tumor thrombus.
Recently, several studies reported promising outcomes of patients after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis. However, conventional EBRT is composed of many fractions (20-35 fractions). On the other hand, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is a newly emerging treatment method to deliver a high dose of radiation to the target using a few fractions with a high precision within body. SABR increases radiation biologic effect for tumor, makes patients more comfortable due to reduction of the number of hospital visit, and enables patients to receive another treatment more quickly. This study will evaluate SABR effect with 40 Gy in 4 fractions for HCC with major portal vein tumor thrombosis.
This study is working to evaluate the surgical comprehensive treatment for different types of tumor thrombi in the portal vein for hepatocellular carcinoma patients, to establish a standardized, unified, effective therapeutic program.
