Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Hepatocellular"

Randomized comparison within the endoscopic esophageal varices ligation versus non-selective beta-blocker in the primary prevention of esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with HCC.

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, international, Phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential or up-front triple treatment with durvalumab, tremelimumab and bevacizumab for non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following arms: Arm A: initial treatment with durvalumab plus tremelimumab followed by treatment escalation with the addition of bevacizumab upon radiological progression or in the absence of objective response Arm B: up-front treatment with durvalumab, tremelimumab and bevacizumab Patients will be stratified according to macrovascular invasion and etiology of liver disease (viral etiologies versus others).

This phase II trial tests whether regorafenib and durvalumab work to shrink tumors in patients with high-risk liver cancer. Regorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving regorafenib and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with high-risk liver cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy with HAIC-TACE and donafenib compared to TACE plus donafenib in patients with BCLC B stage unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) out of up-to-seven criteria.

This is a single-arm, single-center, open-label phase II study designed to assess the efficacy of surufatinib in participants with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma based on single-cell sequencing of tumor samples.

This phase II trial studies how well standard of care hypofractionated radiation therapy followed by durvalumab with or without tremelimumab works in treating patients with hepatocellular cancer (liver cancer) that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressing) after treatment with PD-1 inhibitor immunotherapy. In some patients, cancer cells and immune cells start to express signals that stop the body's immune system from killing the cancer. New drugs being developed, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, are designed to target and block these signals and may help increase the immune response to prevent or slow down cancer growth. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may help the immune system work even better. Giving durvalumab with or without tremelimumab after radiation therapy may work better than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with liver cancer.

An open-label multi-center phase Ib/II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody AK104 plus lenvatinib as the first-line therapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label clinical trial determining efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with ipilimumab/nivolumab and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in subjects with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These are subjects who are not candidates for curative intent treatment.

Liver transplant is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Due to organs shortage, the proper selection of patients is imperative. Prevailing clinical morphological models used in most centres (Milan Criteria), can exclude potential candidates and include patients with aggressive biological behaviour. To more accurately select candidates for liver transplant, the inclusion of criteria that could predict the behaviour and aggressiveness of tumours, such as molecular markers, might be useful. The investigators propose the use of a new algorithm (HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool), that combine clinical and molecular criteria that address the biology of tumours, in a single centre prospective, intervention study. Data from the "HepatoPredict genomic signature" are added to the clinical and imagiology algorithm. Based on this tool, patients outside the usual eligibility criteria for liver transplant will be proposed for this treatment. These patients will be transplanted with marginal livers or with livers from patients with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy, not competing with patients on the waiting list. Patients will be followed up to 60 months after transplant, to assess survival and HCC recurrence with biannual imagiology screening. Survival and disease-free-survival rates will be compared with those obtained by the usual management of patients included and excluded by Milan Criteria.

The primary goals of this study are to compare overall survival and quality of life in subjects with Child-Pugh A or B advanced hepatocellular carcinoma when treated with a device emitting radiofrequencies modulated at specific frequencies or with a device emitting unmodulated radiofrequencies.
