Active clinical trials for "Liver Neoplasms"

This study is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a novel liver specific nerve block in improving pain control during painful liver interventional radiology procedures including liver tumoral ablation and trans arterial chemoembolization, two procedures aimed at controlling liver tumors, but that can be associated with significant pain. This novel hepatic specific nerve block was designed by us and initial retrospective results suggests it might help in controlling such liver procedural derived pain. The study was designed to compare the liver block to a sham procedure in a blinded context and to follow the participants over three days post-procedure to asses for pain levels.

the ARMANI trial will test the hypothesis, if an anatomic resection (AR) improves long-term outcome vs. a non-anatomical resection (NAR) in patients undergoing surgery for RAS-mutated colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).

This will be an open-label, dose escalation, multi-center, Phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety of ECT204 T-cell therapy and determine the RP2D in adult subjects (≥ 18 years of age) who have GPC3-positive HCC and have failed or not tolerated at least two (2) different anti-HCC systemic agents.

Background: A new cancer treatment takes a person s own T cells, modifies them in a laboratory so they can better fight cancer cells, and then gives them back to the person. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help people with a certain type of liver cancer. Objective: To see if a personalized immune treatment, anti-GPC3 CAR-T cells, is safe. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who have Glypican-3 (GPC3) positive HCC, a type of liver cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Blood and urine tests Medical history Physical exam Heart function tests Review of their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities Tumor biopsy Imaging scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Participants will have leukapheresis. They may have an IV (intravenous catheter, a small tube put into an arm vein) inserted into each arm or get a central line. Blood will be removed. A machine will separate the white blood cells from their blood. The rest of their blood will be returned to them. Participants will be admitted to the hospital for about 2 weeks. They will get the chemotherapy drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide by IV for 3 days. Then they will receive the modified white blood cells by IV. Participants will have frequent blood draws. They will give blood and tumor samples for research. Participants will have follow-up visits for the next 15 years. Then they will be contacted by email or phone for the rest of their life. If their disease does not get worse after 5 years, they will continue to be invited to do imaging studies every 6 months.

This is an open, prospective, single-arm, multi-cohort clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose vitamin C combined with metformin in the treatment of malignant tumors.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a new intervention, AU409, in treating patients with primary liver cancers that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or advanced solid tumors that have spread to the liver (liver metastatic disease). AU409 may stop cancer from growing and spreading. This trial may help researchers determine if AU409 is safe and effective in treating patients with liver cancers and solid tumors with liver metastatic disease.

This study is a phase 1B/2 open-label, study to determine safety and preliminary efficacy of Q702 in combination with pembrolizumab in study subjects with advanced esophageal, gastric/GEJ, hepatocellular, and cervical cancers.

This trial is an investigator-initiated, single-center, open-label, single-arm exploratory study of mRNA neoantigen tumor vaccine in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer, including two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of neoantigen tumor vaccine in subjects with advanced gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer by conducting dose escalation trial in subjects diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer, and preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of neoantigen tumor vaccine in subjects with advanced gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer. According to the characteristics of safety and efficacy data in the dose escalation phase, the dose expansion is performed at the intended clinical dose based on the investigator's judgment, and the treatment is performed in combination with PD-1/L1 to further evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of neoantigen tumor vaccine at a specific dose. Both the dose escalation phase and dose expansion phase include a screening period (Week -4 ~ Week -2), a baseline period (Week -1 ~ Day -1), a treatment period (Day 1 ~ Week 8 or 16), and a follow-up period. Subjects who signed and provided the formal informed consent entered the screening period. The treatment period included the initial treatment period (Day 1 ~ Week 8) and the enhanced treatment period (Week 12 ~ Week 16). The investigator determined whether to enter the enhanced treatment period based on the comprehensive judgment of the subject's efficacy, safety, compliance and other factors from Week 8 to Week 12. The dose escalation phase follows standard 3+3 design. 12-18 subjects are expected to be enrolled at 3 given dose level. The investigator will choose the optimal clinical dose for dose expansion, which can be one dose group or multiple dose groups. PD-1/L1 drugs are used in parallel to further confirm the efficacy and safety of neoantigen tumor vaccine, with about 18 subjects. The usage and dosage of PD-1/L1 should aligned with the package insert.

TACE(transcatheter arterial chemoembolization) has been recommended by domestic and international guidelines as the standard treatment for a subset of HCC patients with very high heterogeneity, including BCLC stage B(intermediate-stage) and some BCLC stage C(advanced-stage). However, for these patients, TACE therapy alone is often difficult to achieve satisfactory efficacy. Moreover, in the course of repeated TACE treatment, tumor remission rate continues to decrease, and drug resistance and liver function damage are prone to be aggravated.Studies have shown that TACE and TKI combined therapy can not only inhibit the release of VEGF and other angiogenic growth factors after TACE, but also prolong the interval of TACE treatment、reduce the frequency of TACE treatment by inhibiting residual tumor proliferation, thus reducing liver function damage.Lenvatinib therapy,which is associated with a high response rate compared with Sorafinib and the cost-effect advantage of Lenvatinib was significantly better than that of sorafenib.But it has not been determined whether lenvatinib should be used synchronously or sequentially based on TACE.Through the comparative study of different timing combinations, we explore the interventional timing of Lenvatinib in intermediate-advanced liver cancer, providing a new scheme for interventional combination therapy.

This study will comprise the first pilot clinical trial of 3D, ultrasound-based thermal ablation control using echo decorrelation imaging, directly testing the capability of this approach to ensure reliable tumor treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of ultrasound echo decorrelation to successfully predict complete ablation of human hepatocellular carcinoma, concomitant diseased liver, and metastatic liver cancer and to determine the potential of echo decorrelation imaging to provide effective real-time control of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in liver tumors.
