Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

The purpose of the study was search the safety and efficacy of the of Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Decoction (XSLJZ) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients with multiple protein kinase inhibitor therapy. Evaluate the treatment effect on the symptoms of appetite and quality of life in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients

In this prospective study, 68Ga-PSMA integrated PET/MR imaging was applied for the diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The detection and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-PSMA PET/MR for HCC was evaluated in comparison with the gold standard of puncture biopsy or postoperative pathology. The aim is to make up for the deficiency in FDG PET imaging in the diagnosis and staging of HCC.

This study is to evaluate whether intraoperative fluorescence imaging targeting GPC3 can aid improve the surgical accuracy of hepatocellular carcinoma. The main purposes of this study include: ① To raise the detection rate of hepatocellular carcinoma intraoperatively using the novel NIR-II fluorescence molecular imaging and the GPC-3 targeted fluorophore. ② To validate the safety and effectiveness of the designed GPC-3 targeted fluorophore for clinical application.

This is a monocentric, single blind, interventional, single arm study. It is designed to compare the rates of detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by ultrasound (US) used in clinical routine vs. abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI). The hypothesis is that dynamic AMRI with extracellular contrast agent injection has a higher patient-level detection rate of HCC than screening US and non-contrast AMRI. Interested and eligible patients will be enrolled and undergo HCC screening rounds including US +/- contrast-enhanced US (clinical routine) and screening MRI within the same week bi-annually.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignancy with great disease burden both in Taiwan and worldwide 1. Early stage HCC can be treated by surgical resection, radiofrequency ablation, embolization and liver transplantation. However, treatments for advanced HCC are still unsatisfactory. Systemic therapy is necessary for advanced HCC 2. Target therapy using sorafenib was established a decade ago, but its response rate is quite low (~3%), the adverse effects may be intolerable and it can only extend survival 2.3 to 2.8 months 3,4. Newly developed tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) include regorafenib 5, lenvatinib 6, cabozantinib 7 and ramucirumab 8. The single target therapy objective response rate is around 3-24%. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) emerged as a new hope for cancer therapy in various kinds of malignancies including HCC. These include CTLA4, PD-1 and PD-L1 blockades.

PreLiveR-T consists of a prospective randomized clinical trial conducted in an adult population that is a candidate for liver transplantation (LT) at the Hospital La Fe Valencia (Spain). The study is structured in three phases: I) Prehabilitation (2 months before LT); II) Training, divided in two successive periods: Supervised training (months 3-6 after LT) and Unsupervised training (6-12 months after LT); III) Long-term follow-up (2 years after LT). Primary outcomes are related to post-surgery evolution (morbidity and mortality, hospitalization length, etc.). As a secondary outcomes are collected those related to: functional capacity, muscle strength and quality of life.

Prospective evaluation of the circulating cell-free DNA-based epigenetic biomarker (mSEPT9) through a cross-sectional biomarker phase II design. The aim of the SEPT9-CROSS study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the plasma mSEPT9 biomarker in a large-scale study of 530 cirrhotic patients recruited in the Nancy University Hospital.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib administered as later lines of treatment in patients with advanced HCC.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with more than 700,000 new cases in the world every year. China has the highest incidence and death rate of HCC in the world, accounting for 55% of the world's annual incidence and 45% of the world's annual deaths. At present, surgical resection is still one of the most effective treatments for HCC. However, the recurrence rate of tumor after hepatectomy is still very high, and the recurrence rate of 5 years is 60~70%. Especially in patients with high-risk recurrence factors, without intervention, the cumulative recurrence rate in the first year was about 50%, about 60% in the second year, about 70% in the third year, and about 80% in the fifth year. Tumor recurrence is an important bottleneck that hinders the long-term survival of patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective adjuvant therapy to reduce the postoperative recurrence rate of patients with HCC, especially high-risk patients. However, there is still a lack of standard protocols for postoperative adjuvant therapy for HCC. Here investigators intend to explore the safety and efficacy of Donafinib Combined With Anti-PD-1 Antibody as postoperative adjuvant therapy for HCC patients with high risks of recurrence.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotic use for TACE and occurrence of postoperative liver abscess. There would be two comparison groups. Current standard of care treatment at PKLI&RC (as per local guidelines) would be given to all patients receiving TACE for the intervention group or 'antibiotic group' (i.e., Inj. Ceftriaxone 1g, intravenous × stat). While no antibiotic would be given to the 'no antibiotic group'.
