Study of Pembrolizumab and Radiotherapy in Liver Cancer
Hepatocellular CarcinomaThis is a phase 2 study whose purpose is to assess the efficacy of the combination of pembrolizumab and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have experienced disease progression after treatment with sorafenib.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Versus TACE Plus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)...
Hepatocellular CarcinomaTrans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a standard treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (also called liver cancer). This is where chemotherapy is injected into the arteries of the liver and liver cancer. Unfortunately, the tumour grows after TACE in many patients. A new treatment using a specialized radiation procedure called Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SBRT) may increase the chance to control liver cancer. SBRT allows radiation treatments to be focused more precisely, and be delivered more accurately than with older treatments. The purpose of this study is to find out if TACE alone versus TACE plus SBRT is better for you and your liver cancer.
TACE-HAIC vs. HAIC for Potentially Resectable HCC
Potentially ResectionHepatocellular CarcinomaHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most commonly malignant tumors around the world. Hepatic resection or liver transplantation is the radical method to cure the disease. However, due to large tumors, surgical treatment is suitable for early-stage and well-reserved liver function patients. Therefore, in clinical practice, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a preferential and standard treatment of potentially resectable HCC. EACH trial opened the door to FOLFOX-based system chemotherapy for advanced HCC patients. Recently, investigators have showed that hepatic arterial infusion of FOLFOX-based chemotherapy (HAIC) was safe and efficient for HCC patients. Several clinical studies showed that HAIC bring better tumor response rate that the conditional TACE. The combination of TACE with HAIC (TACE-HAIC), theoretically can significantly increase the local doses of chemotherapeutic agents in the liver, reduce the viability of HCC cells and increase the hepatectomy rate. However, this hasn't been verified in clinical application. To identify a more effective and safety way for treating potentially resectable HCC patients, this study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy between HAIC and TACE-HAIC for those patients.
Radiation Therapy With Protons or Photons in Treating Patients With Liver Cancer
Unrectable or Locally Recurrent Hepatocellular CarcinomaThis phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy with protons works compared with photons in treating patients with liver cancer. Radiation therapy, such as photon therapy, uses high energy x-rays to send the radiation inside the body to the tumor while proton therapy uses a beam of proton particles. Proton therapy can stop shortly after penetrating through the tumor and may cause less damage to the surrounding healthy organs and result in better survival in patients with liver cancer.
Combined Treatment of Durvalumab, Bevacizumab, Tremelimumab and Transarterial Chemoembolization...
Hepatocellular CancerHepatocellular Carcinoma1 moreBackground: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. Most people with advanced HCC survive an average of 6 to 9 months. Researchers are evaluating a combination of treatment drugs to delay the progression of HCC; aiming to help people with HCC live longer. Objective: To study the 6-month progression-free survival in people with advanced HCC treated with bevacizumab, durvalumab, and TACE. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with intermediate or advanced HCC Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will have tests to evaluate their hearts as well as blood and urine. A CT and/or MRI scans will be done during the study. If a prior tumor sample is not available; participants may undergo a biopsy. They may undergo an endoscopy of their esophagus and stomach. Participants will get the study drugs in 21-day cycles: Two treatment drugs will be injected into a vein every 3 weeks. Patients will have an interventional treatment procedure done by interventional radiology under sedation; chemotherapy beads will be infused into artery branches in the liver. Participants may have to stay in the hospital for 24 hours for observation, after this procedure. This interventional procedure may be done more than once during the study. Participants may need to repeat some of the screening tests throughout the study. Participants may have to stop taking some of their cancer treatment drugs during the study. Participants will continue on the study until their cancer progresses or until the side effects of the treatment drugs are not tolerable....
GPC3-CAR-T Cells for Immunotherapy of Cancer With GPC3 Expression
Hepatocellular CarcinomaImmunotherapy4 moreThe third/fourth generation of CAR-T cells that target GPC3 (GPC3-CART cell) and/or soluble TGFβ (GPC3/TGFβ-CART )have been constructed and their anti-HCC function has been verified by multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. Clinical studies will be performed to test the anti-cancer function by the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cells in human HCC patients with GPC3 expression. In this phase I study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of the GPC3/TGFβ-CAR-T cell immunotherapy on human will firstly be tested.
Combination of TATE and PD-1 Inhibitor in Liver Cancer
Hepatocellular CarcinomaGastric CancerThis is a multi-center, open-label phase IIA study that investigates the preliminary efficacy of Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) treatment of liver cancer followed by a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab). Patients with two types of cancers will be enrolled, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and metastatic gastric cancer. All enrolled patients need to have liver lesions and have progressed on a prior immune checkpoint inhibitor.
