Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

This is a multicenters, prospective cohort study to evaluate the efficacy, prognosis, adverse effects, and factors for predicting therapeutic effects and clinical prognosis of combined therapy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), tyrosine kinase inhibitor/ anti-VEGF antibody, and anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibody for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma which initially unsuitable for the radical therapy, including resection, transplantation, or ablation. Factors are collected in preoperative routine blood examination, preoperative radiological imaging and pathological examination.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, 2-cohort clinical study evaluating RP3 in combination with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as First- or Second-line Systemic Therapy in patients with locoregionally advanced and/or metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma not amenable to surgical resection or standard locoregionally directed therapies.

This study aims to determine whether a breath test could be used for early detection of hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients who are attending for a planned liver outpatient services or investigations will be approached to provide a breath sample. Multi platform mass spectrometry analysis will be performed to establish volatile biomarkers that can discriminate between fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 7th most common cause of cancer death globally but only 20% are diagnosed in its early stages where cure is possible. Current standard-of-care surveillance of patients at high risk of developing HCC with 6-monthly serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and ultrasound imaging (US) has a sensitivity of approximately 63% for detecting early HCC. There is an urgent need for a more efficacious and convenient modality of surveillance of high-risk patients to diagnose HCC at an early stage. This prospective study aims to address this unmet clinical need by validating a panel of circulating miRNA biomarkers to develop an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit for the detection of early HCC in a cohort of high-risk patients. Additionally, this study also aims to develop a multi-parametric MRI-based AI algorithm to quantify individual risks of developing HCC and to predict the progression of chronic liver disease in this cohort to enable targeted surveillance. Lastly, by identifying changes in the microbiome and metabolites as HCC develops in this cohort enables the establishment of actionable biomarkers that can prevent and predict the development of HCC.

This study is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm, open-design phase II clinical study, mainly to explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation combined with anti-PD-1 antibody toripalimab and lenvatinib in patients with short-term recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study evaluates a concept called 'Teaching the Teachers' and whether it is helpful in disseminating guidelines on the national and international levels. "Teaching the Teachers" involves teaching the guidelines to experts who later teach the same guidelines to other radiologists, trainees, and physicians to assume the teacher's role and disseminate the guidelines and so on.

Liver Transplantation for Unresectable GIST Liver Metastases

This is an observational, prospective cohort study that will recruit a diverse sample of 84 participants with newly diagnosed with unresectable, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at the UT Health Cancer Center in San Antonio. This study uses geriatric assessment tools with participants 65 years and older and collects adverse events and exploratory markers of aging for all participants.

This study aims to investigate the value of early change at MRI in HCC treated with TARE, for evaluation/prediction of treatment response and prognosis.

RAISE is a multicenter phase II randomized 2x2 factorial trial. The purpose is to further investigate both the efficacy and safety of the radiotherapy/apatinib for adjuvant treatment of HCC patients accepted radical resection with microvascular invasion.
