Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

To investigate efficacy and toxicity of regorafenib after treatment with atezolizumab and bevacizumab combination

Notable-HCC is a phase Ib study of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1, Tislelizumab, BeiGene) prior to hepatic resection in patients with resectable HCC.

Sorafenib, as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced HCC, can significantly prolong the overall survival rate of patients. However, about 53-71% of patients showed stable disease (SD) after sorafenib treatment, and further studies to explore optimal therapy for these patients are still needed. Oncolytic viruses are a type of virus that can selectively replicate in tumor cells and then destroy tumor cells, of which recombinant human adenovirus type 5 (H101) is the first oncolytic virus drug which was approved in the world. Recent studies indicate that H101 shows anti-tumor effects on liver cancer and there may be a synergistic effect between recombinant human adenovirus type 5 and sorafenib in the inhabitation of hepatoma cells in vitro. This study aims to further verify the effect and safety of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 combined with sorafenib in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with Eye90 microspheres in patients with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Both cause tumors, known as malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia, that have an abnormally large number of blood vessels attached to them. Eye90 is internal radiation brachytherapy for treatment of malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia that uses microspheres, tiny glass beads smaller in diameter than a human hair, to provide radiation. The microspheres contain Yttrium-90 (Y90) as the radiation source, which are used to to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The microspheres are also radiopaque, which means that they can be seen during imaging procedures. The visibility of the microspheres allows the study doctor to confirm the microspheres have been delivered in the tumor; this may help to improve the outcome of treatment.

Portal vein tumour thrombus (PVTT) is a common complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PVTT has a profound adverse effect on prognosis, with a very short median survival time (2-4 months). The presence of PVTT also limits treatment options, such as liver transplantation and curative resection. Although the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer group recommended sorafenib as a standard therapy for advanced-stage HCC, the optimal treatment for HCC with PVTT remains largely controversial. Some studies have reported a survival benefit in patients with PVTT who underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), even in patients with main portal vein (MPV) tumor thrombus. Iodine-125 brachytherapy had also showed promising efficacy as a new method for unresectable HCC with PVTT. Results of our previous study indicated that TACE combined with Iodine-125 seeds implantation might be a good choice for selected patients with PVTT. Thus, we conduct this study to farther evaluate the effect of TACE combined with Iodine-125 seeds implantation for HCC with PVTT. 270 patients with HCC and PVTT will be included and randomized to two group: group 1, patients received TACE combined with Iodine-125 seeds implantation; group 2, patients received TACE alone. TACE and Iodine-125 seeds implantation will be performed with a standardized procedure. Iodine-125 seeds implantation into PVTT (guided by CT) will be conducted 7 days after TACE. All patients revisit our institutions for follow-up examinations including contrast enhanced CT/MRI and laboratory tests every 4-6 weeks after the first treatment. Patients who have a tumor response rating of complete response will be required to revisit 3 months interval. At each visit, TACE or Iodine-125 seeds implantation is repeated if the following criteria are reached: 1) images indicating viable intrahepatic tumor tissue or PVTT; 2) Child-Pugh class A or B, and no contraindication to TACE and Iodine-125 seeds implantation. The primary end point of this study is overall survival. The secondary end points are time to tumor progression, disease control rate, duration of portal patency and adverse events. All adverse events are graded in accordance with Common Toxicity Criteria Adverse Events Version (CTCAE) 4.03.

Many patients have cancers that have increased activity of a protein called STAT3 that contributes critically to the development and growth of their cancer. Despite our knowledge of STAT3's importance to cancer, scientists and doctors have not developed a drug that targets it and that patients can take to treat their cancer more effectively than treatments that are now available. Tvardi Therapeutics, Incorporated has developed a compound, TTI-101, which can be given by mouth and acts as a direct inhibitor of STAT3. Administration of TTI-101 to mice demonstrated that it blocked growth of cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, and liver and it was safe when administered at high doses to mice, rats, and dogs. In this application, Tvardi is proposing to further develop TTI-101 for treatment of solid tumors for which the prognosis is dismal. The investigators will determine how safe it is when administered to patients with cancer, determine whether an adequate dose can be administered to patients with cancer that will block STAT3 in their cancer, and determine whether treatment with TTI-101 leads to reduced growth of their cancer.

This clinical trial studies the side effects and best way to perform yttrium Y-90 radioembolization in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Yttrium Y-90 radioembolization is a therapy that injects radioactive microspheres directly into an artery that feeds liver tumors to cut off their blood supply. Performing yttrium Y-90 radioembolization in a single session may make treatment faster, minimize patient travel, and decrease the overall cost of the procedure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of liver-localised radioembolization and nivolumab on liver cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy toripalimab (anti-PD-1 mAb) combined with thermal ablation in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, study. Individuals who are assessed for microwave (MW) ablation of HCC in accordance with their institution's standard of care (SOC), who meet study entry criteria and sign the informed consent, will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with MW ablation and afterwards followed for up to 36 months after the original ablation procedure to assess efficacy and safety. In addition to the final analysis after all enrolled patients complete the 36-month observation period, a summary of selected endpoints will be provided after all enrolled patients have completed each of the 1-month and 12-month visits. To provide sites with an opportunity to get equal experience in the use of the Certus system, there will 3 patients treated as part of a run-in phase. These patients will only be included in the safety set.
