NCT06621472
Adequate pain control improves postoperative outcomes and is imperative for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) . Open liver resection surgery is associated with intraoperative blood loss, hypotension, coagulopathy, pulmonary complications, liver impairment, and renal impairment, making perioperative pain management challenging . Multimodal analgesic strategies employing regional techniques decrease postoperative pain and opioid consumption following liver resections. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is considered the 'gold standard' for open thoracic and abdominal surgical procedures .
NCT04668872
The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about how tumors respond to radioembolization.
NCT07224724
Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy worldwide, and prognosis largely depends on how effectively metastatic disease is managed. The liver is the most frequent and prognostically important site of metastasis, and patients responding well to chemotherapy may become candidates for curative hepatic resection. However, the presence of extrahepatic metastasis (EHM) critically influences treatment eligibility and survival. Although clinical scores such as the Fong and Beppu systems include EHM as a determinant, its detection by imaging remains limited, especially for small or occult lesions. Accurate identification of EHM is also essential when considering liver transplantation for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), where EHM remains an exclusion criterion. The EXELION Study aims to develop a non-invasive diagnostic model using serum exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) to detect both hepatic and extrahepatic metastases in patients with CRLM. By integrating circulating miRNA profiling with machine learning-based analysis, this study seeks to supplement imaging diagnostics, improve treatment stratification, and enhance clinical decision-making for metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT07321847
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new injectable drug (IP-001), administered after standard liver tumor ablation, can help prevent cancer from returning in people (males/females, ≥18 years old) with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The study will determine if injecting IP-001 into a liver tumor(s) after ablation will reduce the risk of cancer coming back in the liver and from spreading elsewhere in the body, will stimulate the immune system, will have any side effects, and will help improve a patient's response to other cancer therapies. Researchers will compare a standard of care liver ablation alone (microwave ablation \[MWA\], a technique that destroys tumors using heat), with MWA plus a high-dose IP-001 or MWA with a low-dose IP-001. During the treatment procedures, the doctor first performs the standard microwave ablation to destroy the tumor. Then, in the experimental-drug arms, IP-001 is injected in and around the treated tumor area to activate the immune system locally so that the body is more likely to find and eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
NCT06801665
The investigators plan to initiate a prospective, multicenter, phase II study, recruiting 30 patients with advanced colon cancer patients with liver metastasis who have not received prior treatment. This study plans to reconstruct intestinal microecology through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and combine with QL1706+Bevacizumab+XELOX to enhance the anti-tumor immune effect at the same time, thereby improving the prognosis of colon cancer patients with liver metastasis.
NCT06550700
Simultaneous colorectal cancer liver metastasis (SCRLM) is one of the risk factors for poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. Surgical resection of primary and metastatic lesions is the first choice of treatment for patients with resectable SCRLM. Simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases by totally open surgery (TOS) has been widely used. However, we propose that laparoscopic hybrid surgery (LHS) may have better short and long-term outcomes. This study aimed to compare the safety, short-term, and long-term efficacy of LHS versus TOS for patients with resectable SCRLMs.
NCT03301493
There is no evidence available about which molecular profiling methods are currently used for cancer patients in Austrian clinical practice. The construction of the registry proposed as a completely independent research endeavor, will be helpful for scientific evaluation and the establishment of highly credible data.
NCT05293041
Infusion of Argipressin during hepatic resection surgery may reduce blood loss. It may also reduce transfusion requirements, and mitigate the perioperative inflammatory response compared to placebo. Subjects will be randomized to infusion of Argipressin or placebo during surgery. Blood loss, transfusion requirements, surgical data including length of stay in hsopital, inflammatory markers and markers of renal- intestinal- and cardiac injury will be assessed. Two sub-studies has been added; one for evaluation of coagulation function, and one for assessment of pain scores and morphine consumption.
NCT05227261
This is a multi-centre, prospective cohort study, aiming to evaluate a blood test in early detection of the four common cancers, based on the investigation of the circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). Primary objective: To evaluate the performance characteristics of the blood ctDNA test in early detecting cancers. Secondary objectives: * To evaluate the performance characteristics of the test in determining the origin of tumour, as compared to the findings of the imaging diagnostic tests. * To determine the risk of cancers development in the high-risk population, as compared to that in the moderate-risk group.
NCT02045381
Currently, appropriate patients undergo MRI imaging with immobilization and sequences optimized for diagnostic radiology purposes. Using a mutual information algorithm, these images are then registered to a treatment planning CT obtained with custom immobilization to minimize intra-and inter-treatment motion and positional variation. This image registration process is time-consuming and introduces additional layers of geometric uncertainty into what should be a highly precise treatment planning process. However, it is necessary, since radiation dose calculations cannot be performed on MRI data due to the lack of crucial density information. The investigator envisions CT-less treatment planning, using only MRI, due to superior imaging characteristics, fully integrated into the radiation oncology clinic. This study will begin this process.
NCT02781935
The DREAM study will assess the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted MRI in combination with other imaging modalities (multiparametric MRI and CT Scan) in determining the true status of disappearing liver metastasis (DLM) detected after conversion systemic therapy for unresectable or borderline resectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).
NCT06069960
Colon cancer is a common malignancy with a low survival rate worldwide, and unresectable colon cancer liver metastases (ICRLM) have a worse prognosis. The liver is the most common metastatic organ of colorectal cancer, and palliative chemotherapy is the only option for most ICRLM patients. Regrettably, the median survival time of all patients receiving chemotherapy is only 2 years, and the 5-year survival rate is only 10%. Liver transplantation is an ideal choice for patients with ICRLM, which can significantly improve the postoperative survival rate. But the most serious problem facing such patients is the shortage of donor livers. In 2015, Norwegian scholars proposed a new surgical method, that is, resection and partial liver segment (2-3 segment) transplantation combined with delayed total hepatectomy can greatly alleviate the shortage of liver donors in the above-mentioned patients. Based on the experience of clinical operation, our center proposes and designs a clinical study of sequential adult left lateral lobe liver transplantation (SALT) for the treatment of iCRLM. On the basis of RAPID, the safety and efficacy of sequential adult left lateral lobe liver transplantation were evaluated for the above patients.
NCT06021015
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of polyvinyl alcohol sodium acrylate embolization microspheres and HepaSphere Microspheres loaded with irinotecan for the treatment of colorectal cancer with hepatic metastases through arterial chemoembolization.
NCT05588297
This prospective, single-arm study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in pMMR/MSS Colorectal cancer liver metastases patients
NCT03033615
This study will compare the quality of CT images acquired with very low-dose radiation and processed with commercially available software vs. PixelShine processed images. It would potentially allow imaging facilities to acquire CT scans using lower doses of radiation without sacrificing clarity of CT images. Acquiring high quality CT images with low-dose radiation has the potential to enhance patient safety and has significant implications in imaging practices.
NCT03175016
This is a multicentre, open labeled, single arm study to determine effectiveness and safety of chemoembolization with Irinotecan-Eluting Bead(DEBIRI) in the treatment of unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer after chemotherapy failure.
NCT02631564
The purpose of this study is to observe whether hepatic infusion by oxaliplatin, irinotecan and raltitrexed with or without embolization by lipiodol or microspheres are effective in the treatment of refratory liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.
