Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

This is a single-arm and open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability and primary efficacy of the HBV specific T cell receptor (HBV/TCR) redirected T cell in patients with recurrent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related hepatocellular carcinoma post liver transplantation.

Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Modified FOLFOX Regime vs Lenvatinib Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Oxaliplatin Plus Raltitrexed in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to observe and preliminary explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of Camrelizumab and Apatinib regimen in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) participants who have progressed following prior Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) treatment.

Currently the available first line palliative therapy for advanced HCC is Sorafenib and Lenvatinib of which Lenvatinib is tolerated better. Unfortunately, patients tend to progress after few months of therapy. Therefore it is imperative, to do trials by combinative therapy to the available therapy for added survival benefits and quality of life with advanced HCC. In this regard, Mebendazole appears to be a good choice for drug repurposing as it has shown very promising results either alone or in combination with other therapies in tumors of GI origin and CNS tumors. With regard to HCC Mebendazole has been found to be effective in vitro system of HCC and preclinical models. However no clinical trials have been initiated till now. The key hallmark features of HCC include activation of MAPK and angiogenesis which in turn are targeted by RTK inhibitors such as Sorafenib and Lenvatinib. In this regard Mebendazole has broad range of action by not only inhibiting angiogenesis and pro-survival pathways of MAPK, but by also inhibiting the secretion of MMPs and Tubulin polymerization which can all be beneficial in tumor regression and prevention of chemo-resistance in HCC. Mounting of a strong immune response plays an important role in identification of tumor antigen and thereby clearing of tumors. While Mebendazole can modulate the tumor, the data is scant with respect to the role of the drug. Hence repurposing Mebendazole as a combinatorial therapy appears a promising approach and forms the basis of the present work. We hypothesize that combinatorial therapy of addition of mebendazole to lenvatinib will prove more beneficial than lenvatinib alone in increasing the overall survival of patients with advanced HCC. To prove the mechanistic effects of mebendazole on HCC, we will also conduct a animal study in preclinical mice model of HCC with the help of our animal house facility. The animal study will help us to understand the additional benefits from mebendazole and lenvatinib with objective evidence of liver biopsy which is not feasible in humans.

This is a Phase 1, single-arm, single-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NKG2D-based CAR-T cells infusion in the treatment of relapsed/refractory NKG2DL+ solid tumors.

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.

To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous γδT cells in the treatment of advanced hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

The proposed study is an open-label, single-center, single arm phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy plus sintilimab for HCC with PVTT.

Recently, a clinical trial has shown that PRFA is as effective as HR for small HCC in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival. This has prompted some authors to suggest that PRFA could be more suitable than HR for early stage HCC. Some authors also have suggested that PRFA can be considered the treatment of choice for patients with single HCC ≤ 2.0 cm, even when HR is possible. On the other hand, some tumors (subcapsular location, adjacent to intestinal loops or main bile ducts) may be unsuitable for PRFA because of the risk of bleeding, tumor seeding, bile leakage, perforation, and so on. Furthermore, in our previous experience, some tumors (with deep locations, which were included as "central HCC") may be also unsuitable for HR because of risks of more injury of normal liver tissue, blood loss after resection, and so on. Therefore, the appropriate therapeutic option for these HCC tumors ≤ 2 cm, especially for central HCC, is still under debate. To clarify this issue, the investigators conducted a study that included a consecutive series of patients with single resectable HCC < 2.0 cm in diameter, who underwent PRFA or HR.

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center Clinical Trial. Patients with no tumor lesions one month after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of the 2 treatment groups：6mg/d Tyroserleutide (injection), or placebo. The objective is to evaluate the effect of Injectable Tyroserleutide on the recurrence-free survival,overall survival,quality of life,and the safety and tolerability of subjects after the resection of hepatocellular carcinoma
