Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

Pivotal Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of UNI-DEB for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This pivotal, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib by Objective Response Rate (ORR) by central radiology review as per RECIST v1.1 in subjects with inoperable or advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) whose tumors harbor FGFR2 gene fusions (by FISH performed by the central laboratory) or FGFR2 gene mutations or amplifications (based on NGS testing performed or commissioned by the respective study center) and who received at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy. Subjects will be dosed orally once per day at 300 mg of derazantinib capsules.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nivolumab with or with ipilimumab works in treating patients with liver cancer that can be removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a major health concern in the United States, particularly among people with liver cirrhosis. Out of every 100 patients with liver cancer, only 18 will survive 5 years or more. While locoregional therapies are utilized in an effort to combat this disease, the recurrence rate of HCC after these therapies are high. Statins are widely used drugs that lower cholesterol levels. Some studies have suggested that statins lower risk of HCC recurrence, but this possibility has not been studied thoroughly in a clinical trial. This study will examine the effects of pravastatin, a type of statin, on time to HCC recurrence in patients with early stage HCC. It is possible that pravastatin in combination with locoregional therapies may delay or protect against HCC recurrence.

This trial was designed to investigate whether the survival outcome, response rate and safety of hepatic arterial infusion of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil/leucovorin regimens for patients with Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC)-C stage hepatocellular carcinoma was superior than those of the standard treatment with sorafenib or not.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of sorafenib, compared to the best supportive care (BSC), in two cohorts of patients who presented with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on etiology of hepatitis C virus.

Liver cancer including primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver cancers is one the most common malignancies in the world. Over 10000 new cases per year are diagnosed in Taiwan. Despite the many treatment options, the prognosis of HCC remains dismal. More than 8000 people died of this cancer every year in Taiwan. A majority (70% to 85%) of patients present with advanced or unresectable disease. In contrast, small liver cancers can be cured with an appreciable frequency. Five-year disease-free survival exceeding 50% has been reported for surgical resection, and for the inoperable patients who do not have vascular invasion or extrahepatic spread. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is recommended as an alternative curative therapy. However, the main drawback of RFA is its limitation to tumor size and location. The tumors larger than 5 cm in diameter or located adjacent to vessels, could not be ablated completely sometimes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most-common cancer worldwide and the second most-common cause of cancer mortality. Liver resection is the first-line curative treatment for huge HCC. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates after hepatic resection were range from 25% to 45%. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the major treatment option for the unresectable primary or secondary liver malignancies. Yittrium-90 (Y-90) is a pure beta-emitter, without any toxic effect or immune rejection. There are ample data that support the use of Y-90 microspheres for primary and metastatic liver tumors. The aim of our study was to compare the clinical outcome of radioembolization with Y-90 and TACE and provide a new strategy for the treatment of intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein thrombus by conduting a randomized trial.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most-common cancer worldwide and the second most-common cause of cancer mortality. Liver resection is the first-line curative treatment for huge HCC. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates after hepatic resection were range from 25% to 45% and the incidence of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) for intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients were as high as 60%-90%. At present, there is no effective treatment for patients with PVTT. Laser ablation (LA) showed a good performance in eliminating the PVTT and the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) with γ Ray (γ-knife) can also be used to treat patients with PVTT. But there still lack of evidence-based research to compare the clinical outcome of 3D-CRT with γ Ray and LA. In view of this, we aim to implement a randomized controlled study to find out an effective treatment for intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients with PVTT based on evidence-based research.

The propose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of MG4101 (allogeneic Natural killer cells) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
