Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

Whether preoperative transarterial chemoembolization can prolong survival for the resectable hepatocellular carcinoma remains controversial, particularly in patients with portal vein tumor thrombi. This study designs to systematically identify and summarize the effect of preoperative TACE for resectable HCC with portal venous invasion.

This pilot trial studies propranolol hydrochloride in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Propranolol hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the use of hormones by the tumor cells.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the time to progression (TTP) in patients with advanced HCC treated with Icaritin .

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of using small beads (70-150 micron in place of 100-300 micron) to deliver chemotherapy into the liver to treat patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The beads (LC-Bead M1) will be loaded with doxorubicin (DEBDOX-M1), and used to administer transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) DEBDOX, loaded with doxorubicin, is a device that utilizes tiny beads (70-150 microns) to deliver chemotherapy agents into liver tumor(s) via the hepatic artery. This device allows for continuous release of doxorubicin into the liver tumor tissue(s) causing necrosis of the targeted tumor(s). The potential advantages of the smaller beads are deeper penetration into the tumor bed, while avoiding premature proximal occlusion of vessels feeding the tumor, and more consistent dosing. Response to therapy will be evaluated monthly by clinic visits and blood tests (to include assessment of liver function and tumor markers) and by imaging (usually MRIs) every 1-2 months. Patients will be on study for 6 months after which they will be exited from the study and followed for survival. Once exited from the study they will continue to be eligible to receive the smaller beads (DEBDOX), should it be recommended.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and determine the maximum safe dose of an experimental drug called LDE225 (hedgehog inhibitor) in people with liver cancer. We have identified hedgehog dysregulation as a novel mechanism for hepatocarcinogenesis and hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis. Therefore, we hypothesize that the hedgehog inhibitor may be an ideal drug target for treating both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and Child-Pugh A cirrhosis (CPA).

This is a Phase 1b/2, multicenter, single arm trial to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MSC2156119J as monotherapy in subjects with MET+ advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with child Pugh Class A liver function who have failed sorafenib treatment.

This is a phase I/II study to evaluate dose limited toxicity and efficacy of Torisel

The purpose of this pilot safety study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) administered intravenously and intratumorally prior to standard sorafenib therapy.

The purpose of this open-label, randomized, phase II study is to compare the safety and efficacy of dovitinib versus sorafenib as first-line treatment in adult patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). This trial will be opened in countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of sirolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen in patients following living donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma exceeding Milan criteria with respect to recurrence-free survival.
