Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

The study aimed to investigate the preemptive analgesia efficacy of of preemptive pregabalin for the postoperative pain management after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver cancer.

A multicentre, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active controlled study.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate combined with PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 in HCC patients with high risk of disease recurrence contained microsatellite lesions, microvascular invasion(MVI) or secondary and above portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) after radical resection. Patients will be randomized 1:1 either to the experimental arm to receive Apatinib Mesylate and PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 or to the standard therapy arm of hepatic arterial infusion(HAI) .

This is a single center, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as bridging treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients on transplant waitlist.

This study is being carried out to assess the best dose of a new drug, called tefinostat, in treating liver cancer. Tefinostat is a new drug that blocks enzymes called histone deacetylases (pronounced dee-as-et-isle-azes). Cells need these enzymes to grow and divide. Blocking them may stop cancer growing. Drugs that block these enzymes are called histone deacetylase inhibitors or 'HDAC inhibitors'. Tefinostat has never been given to patients with liver cancer before so it isn't known which dose is best at treating liver cancer. To find this out the study will be testing one dose and if that is safe, then test a higher dose and so on. The aim of this study is to find the best dose of tefinostat without causing side effects. The study will be looking closely at any side effects patients might experience from this treatment.

Literature has shown that radiotherapy can promote tumor antigen presentation, mobilize and activate T cells by enhancing activation signals and blocking inhibitory signals. It can also lead to the normalization of blood vessels in the tumor microenvironment and the increase of CXCL16 and other chemokines to activate T cells. The cells infiltrate the tumor tissues better and promote the killing activity of T cells. Therefore, the combined application of radiotherapy and immunotherapy may have a synergistic effect. Apatinib is a small molecule tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor for VEGFR. Low-dose apatinib can induce the normalization of abnormal blood vessels in tumors, effectively increase the infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor tissues, and block immunosuppressive myeloid cells. Recruitment, reverse the immunosuppressive state, effectively reduce the level of TGF-β, and make the tumor environment tend to have an immune support phenotype. Apatinib combined with PD-1 antibody karelizumab has been confirmed in a phase I study to have good efficacy and safety in patients with advanced liver cancer. Therefore, this study intends to use the PD-1 antibody carrelizumab combined with apatinib and radiotherapy to treat patients with advanced liver cancer with extrahepatic metastasis, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combined therapy, and to provide new clinical treatments for liver cancer Evidence-based medicine.

It is an exploratory clinical study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with Lenvatinib in the treatment of patients with BCLC stage B and C HCC.Treatment will continue until the death or intolerable toxicity or patients withdrawal of consent,and the target sample size is 54 individuals.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lenvatinib in HCC subjects who have progressive disease after first line treatment with checkpoint inhibitors. Approximately 20 subjects will be enrollment to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib. CT/MRI assessments will be made at end of first line treatment with checkpoint inhibitors, and every 8-12 weeks thereafter. Disease status will be determined at the site (ie. Investigator and/or radiologist) using RECIST version 1.1. The primary efficacy endpoint is response rate (RR) defined as proportion of subjects with SD/PR/CR per RECIST 1.1.

This is a dose escalation study based on 3+3 design with the aim to establish MTD and provide RP2D. PLM60 is to administered by multi-cycle intravenous infusion.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with radical dose achieved similar results with radiofrequency ablation (RF) and radical surgery, according to previous studies. For tumors near great blood vessels or with a diameter more than 2cm, SBRT performs even better than RF. In current clinical practice of SBRT for small HCC, registration is achieved by planting metal markers near the tumor, which has several disadvantages: 1. the operation is invasive, increase the risk of bleeding in patients with cirrhosis; 2. the operation is of no therapeutic value; 3. metal markers can only be planted outside the tumor to avoid transplantation, which compromises the accuracy of registration via CBCT. This study aims to adopt a new method of registration, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and lipiodol marking, to analyze the recognition and clarity of lipiodol on CBCT images, set-up errors and treatment efficacy. Therefore to provide data to support TACE and lipiodol marking over metal marker planting.
