Active clinical trials for "Liver Neoplasms"

Patients with unresectable liver metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC)have a poor prognosis. In patients with resectable disease, surgery offers a distinct survival benefit. This study will offer live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to select patients with unresectable metastases that are 1) limited to the liver and 2) stable (non-progressing) on standard chemotherapy. Potential participants will be evaluated for liver transplant suitability and must also have a willing, healthy living donor come forward for evaluation. Those participants who undergo LDLT will be followed for survival, disease-free survival and quality of life for 5 years and compared to a "control group" of participants who drop out of study prior to transplantation due to reasons other than cancer progression.

The purpose of the investigators' study is to prospectively compare the safety and efficacy of hepatic resection to radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with portal hypertension.

Intervention research involving the human person, phase II, prospective, multicentric, non-randomized and multi-cohort study. The eligibility criteria are broad, on purpose, so every patient, able to be treated by SBRT and unable to participate in another trial (non eligible patient or non included centers), can be included in this national study, in a prospective way.

TSR-022 (cobolimab, TIM-3 binding antibody) and TSR-042 (dostarlimab, PD-1 binding antibody) may stop the growth of tumor cells by allowing the immune system to attack the cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well TSR-022 (cobolimab, TIM-3 binding antibody) and TSR-042 (dostarlimab, PD-1 binding antibody) work in combination in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic liver cancer.

To examine survival of patients who underwent minimally invasive versus open liver resection for colorectal cancer with liver metastases.

This research study is studying an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab or KEYTRUDA) as a possible treatment for pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatocellular neoplasm not otherwise specified (HCN NOS).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of simple local ablation, local ablation combined with apatinib, local ablation combined with apatinib and PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 for the treatment of advanced liver cancer.

The COLT trial is an investigator-driven, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, controlled, prospective, parallel trial, aimed at assessing the efficacy (in terms of overall survival: OS) of liver transplantation (LT) in liver-only CRC metastases, compared with a matched cohort of patients bearing the same tumor characteristics, collected during the same time period and included in a phase III Italian RCT on triplet chemotherapy+antiEGFR

Hepatic metastases are common in solid cancers (up to 30% of patients with colorectal cancer and up to 50% of patients during their follow-up). The incidence of primary liver cancer increases due to the increase in chronic liver diseases induced by excessive alcohol consumption, hepatitis B and C viruses, and excess fat in the liver. Surgical excision of these liver lesions is the reference treatment but it cannot always be realised. Stereotactic radiotherapy is a recent technique proposed to hepatic metastases treatment from solid cancers and primary hepatic lesions (HCC or cholangiocarcinomas); it is possible to deliver high doses of radiation in the most conformational way possible in order to limit the irradiation of the non-tumor liver. The results of this stereotactic radiotherapy are currently very good with control rates of 75 to 80% at 1 and 2 years with acceptable rates of severe toxicities of 10%. However, the fear of hepatic, digestive (colon, esophagus, stomach) or even cardiac toxicities limits its using to the majority of patients because coupled with a conventional scanner it do not allow direct visualization of the lesion. Due to its non-irradiating nature, MRI guided stereotactic radiotherapy can generate continuous imaging, during the irradiation session, offering " in live " a visualization of the tumor target and organs at risk of proximity. In increasing the precision and safety in the delivery of irradiation, it allows to hope for several areas for improvement of treatment: reduced uncertainty margins an increase in the dose delivered the accessibility of tumor lesions near sensitive organs (esophagus, stomach, heart chambers, intestines, duodenum, right kidney). More, this accelerator allows a re-optimization of the initial dosimetric plan to the anatomical changes of the day to allow an MRI guided adaptive radiotherapy.

Nearly one third of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. It is well known that the achievement of a R0-situation is one of the most important factors for a positive long-term outcome. Despite further advantages in multimodal treatment concepts, only 20 - 30 % of the patients with metastases can be resected in curative intention. Recent studies, especially from Norway, have shown that liver transplantation might be a feasible option in well selected patients since the complete hepatectomy with subsequent liver transplantation can be an option for the achievement of a R0 situation. In this study, we pursue the strategy of two-stage hepatectomy combined with a left-lateral living donor liver transplantation. Inclusion criteria are as follows: non-resectable liver metastases of a primary colorectal carcinoma with an assumed portal-venous drainage of the tumor and at least a "stable disease" after a period of eight weeks systemic chemotherapy. Patients are excluded from the study if there is an extrahepatic tumor burden (with the exception of resectable lung metastases) or if the patient is not suitable for liver transplantation due to co-morbidities. The transplantation itself will be undertaken as a living donor liver transplantation where the left lateral liver lobe (liver segments 2 & 3) from a healthy volunteer donor will serve as graft. Prior transplantation, a left hemihepatectomy in the recipient is performed and the left lateral graft will be transplanted in this position. At the end of the transplantation procedure, the right portal vein will be closed to induce a rapid growth of the graft. The second step, and therefore the completion of the operation is performed after a growth period of the transplanted left-lateral lobe: in this procedure, the right hemi-liver of the recipient will be removed and the patient is supposed to be free of tumor at this point in time.
