Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

Metformin is a widely used oral drug for type 2 diabetes and its antitumor effects have got much more attentions recently. It has been shown that metformin exerts anti-cancer activities in several cancers, including primary liver cancer. In this phase II study, safety and efficacy of the combination of metformin and sorafenib will be evaluated in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with MWA in patients with huge unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

In this study, CART cells are targeted to GPC3 by intratumor injected that we hope by this means could improve the local CAR-T cell numbers, meanwhile reduce the potential side effects.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is a high malignancy cancer which progress rapidly , and the rates of morbidity and mortality is very high in China. Radiotherapy as a effective treatment is commonly used in unresectable HCC patients. Preclinical models have shown that anti-angiogenesis medicine,such as rh-endostatin, can normalize the tumor vasculature to make it more efficient for oxygen delivery, which can enhance the radiosensitivity subsequently. This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rh-endostatin combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of HCC.

Assessment of the long-term outcome of combined ipsilateral liver lobe devascularization (ILAD) and alcohol injection of the large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): single center non-randomized trial.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil/leucovorin compared with HAIC of oxaliplatin alone in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with major portal venous tumor thrombus (PVTT).

Sorafenib is the standard therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extrahepatic metastasis (EHM). However, addition of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may be beneficial for controlling intrahepatic tumour. The investigators aimed to compare the efficacy between the sorafenib monotherapy and TACE-sorafenib sequential therapy in HCC patients with EHM.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignances seen in different regions of the world. The 5-year risk of recurrence of HCC after resection has been reported to be as high as 70%. It has been proposed that best way to reduce recurrence is to search for improved adjuvant therapies. Especially for some postoperative patients who were identified with the risk factors for recurrence, several adjuvant therapies were often used, including TACE. Recently, a variety of Traditional Chinese Medicine combined with TACE for toxicity reduction and enhancing the efficacy have been investigated in the treatment of HCC. Cidan capsules are a formula containing more than ten types of plant extracts, and has been clinically used for >10 years as a safe and nontoxic antitumor drug. However, the safy and efficacy of preventive therapy is still not clear. In this prospective control study, we enroll such HCC patients experienced operation and were identifed with high risk of recurrence. After a preventive TACE, the eligible patients were divided into two groups. One group will accept Cidan therapy and another will not. Under a basis of large sample, the safty and efficacy of Cidan combined with TACE in HCC patients will be investigated and analysed.

This is an open labeled, multiple centers, two countries (Taiwan and Korea) non-comparative phase I trial in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. In phase I part, a maximum of 18 patients will be recruited in this study.

TACE is widely used in patients with unresectable HCC. However, it is a non-curative approach; thus ,strategies to further improve the survival of these patients are needed. Sorafenib is regarded as standard treatment for advanced HCC. It is the first systemic therapy to demonstrate a significant survival benefit in HCC patients.The hypothesis is that the combination of TACE with sorafenib could improve the survival of patients with unresectable HCC.
