Active clinical trials for "Hemangioendothelioma"

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of sirolimus in the treatment of children and young adults with complicated vascular anomalies will prove to be safe and provide objective response resulting in improved clinical status and quality of life. Funding Source - FDA OOPD (Food and Drug Administration - Office of Orphan Products Development)

a phase I trial focusing on safety and efficacy of prednison shock plus sirolimus maintenance in treating Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP)

This study is multicenter (up to 10 sites in India) phase IV Post-Marketing Study. The study is designed to investigate the safety of Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues used according to each site medical practice of vascular embolization. Subjects will be enrolled with the main condition that a procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues is part of their therapeutic/palliative strategy for their disease. The vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue will be administered as study procedure. According to the patient need and health status a second vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue may be considered by the investigator within the next 30 days after the first one. In this case, this procedure will be considered as a second study procedure. The per-procedure safety evaluation will be enabled by appropriate records of safety events during the time frame of the procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues. Safety evaluation will be completed with safety records within 30 +/-3 days after the embolization procedure. Efficacy evaluation will rely on the level of lesion(s) obliteration after embolization compared to the pre-procedural target level of obliteration. Exploratory descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate safety and efficacy, using both the total population and subsets of subjects with similar clinical conditions.

Although hepatic tumors are uncommon in the perinatal period they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in affected patients. The study is intended to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or antagonist-II(PIVKA-II) combining with alpha-fetoprotein in hepatic tumor of infant. This study is a multicenter study joined by several hospitals in China. Participants including hepatoblastoma, hepatic hemangioendothelioma and healthy control are consecutively recruited into the cohort. All the serum samples are collected before and after each treatment and will be tested in single center in order to decrease bias. Serum samples were tested for PIVKA-II, alpha-fetoprotein and biochemical indexes including alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), alpha-l-fucosidase(AFU), etc.
