NCT03186898
This phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy with protons works compared with photons in treating patients with liver cancer. Radiation therapy, such as photon therapy, uses high energy x-rays to send the radiation inside the body to the tumor while proton therapy uses a beam of proton particles. Proton therapy can stop shortly after penetrating through the tumor and may cause less damage to the surrounding healthy organs and result in better survival in patients with liver cancer.
NCT07607769
Italian multicenter observational study to evaluate time to clinical hepatic decompensation, quality of life, effectiveness, and safety of tremelimumab plus durvalumab in patients with advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have received no prior systemic treatment.
NCT07658586
This study aims to develop a comprehensive artificial intelligence model system integrating preoperative multimodal data (CT/MRI imaging, clinical laboratory data, and radiology report text) to achieve two core objectives. First, to develop a multimodal fusion diagnostic model for non-invasive and accurate preoperative differentiation of liver cancer subtypes, including distinguishing benign from malignant lesions and differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Second, to develop a prognostic prediction model for patients with confirmed liver cancer undergoing radical surgery to assess postoperative progression-free survival and overall survival. This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study with an anticipated sample size of ≥600 patients. Model performance will be evaluated using AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, C-index, and calibration curves. Subgroup analysis will be conducted based on whether patients received neoadjuvant therapy.
NCT07610551
This study adopted a bidirectional cohort study design. On the one hand, the previous clinical data, treatment exposure and clinical endpoint events of the enrolled patients were retrospectively collected. On the other hand, prospective regular follow-up was conducted from the date of enrollment to continuously observe long-term recurrence, progression and survival outcomes, and analyze the correlation between related factors and prognosis. The primary objective of this study was to describe the efficacy and safety of SIRT-Y90 in combination with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in adult patients with unresectable HCC in China. Medical records from approximately eight sites in China will be used.

NCT06117891
This is an observational study in which only data will be collected from adults with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. These adults should be prescribed a different treatment after treatment with atezolizumab and bevacizumab, or another similar combination of drugs, by their doctors. Unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) is a type of liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgery. In the past, sorafenib was the only approved first-line anti-cancer drug for people with uHCC. Regorafenib and other drugs were approved as second-line treatments for uHCC if a person could not take sorafenib or it stopped working for them. Lately, another first-line (1L) treatment called immuno-oncology (IO) immune checkpoint inhibitor combination (1L-IO combo), like atezolizumab with bevacizumab (AB), has become the preferred choice of treatment. This is because of the meaningful impact on patient survival. 1L-IO combo are drugs that help the body's defense system recognize and kill cancer cells. Since the other treatments were previously approved for use following sorafenib, the best order to take these treatments in following an 1L-IO combo is unknown. To better understand and determine this order, more knowledge is needed about how well different treatments work in participants with uHCC who have been treated with AB or another 1L-IO combo. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how well different treatments work when given after first-line treatment with AB or another approved 1L-IO combo. To do this, researchers will collect data on how long the participants live (also called overall survival) from the start of any treatment given after the first-line treatment. In addition, researchers will also collect the following information to learn more about the participants who will be given a different treatment after the 1L-IO combo: * characteristics including age, sex, and race, and signs and symptoms of the participants over the duration of their first-line treatment * the length of time from the first to the last dose (also called duration of therapy) of the treatments given after the 1L-IO combo * the length of time until a participant's cancer worsens, or they die (also called progression free survival) from the start of the treatments given after the 1L-IO combo * the number of participants whose tumor completely disappears or shrinks (also called overall tumor response) after taking the treatments given after the 1L-IO combo * the sequence of treatments given after the 1L-IO combo Data will be collected from September 2023 to December 2026 and cover a period of around 3 years. The data will be collected using medical records or by interviewing the participants during their routine visits to the doctor. Researchers will observe participants from the start of the treatment given after the 1L-IO combo until the end of their participation in the study. In this study, only data from routine care will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary tumour of the liver and is the third cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Depending on the stage of the disease, the treatment options are surgery, liver transplantation, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Recently, scientific research has focused on small molecules called microRNAs which are produced by human cells and can be released in the blood. They have a role in cell proliferation and are found to be dysregulated in different types of cancer. It has been shown that microRNAs have a role in the development of HCC but it is unknown if these molecules can be used as markers for diagnosis and survival in HCC. In particular, microRNAs miR-221 and miR-222 are dysregulated in the tumoral tissues in about 80% of patients with HCC. This can be assessed on tissues from liver biopsies or surgical specimens, both invasive approaches. Only few studies showed the presence of microRNAs in the blood of patients with HCC but it is unknown if there is a correlation between tumoral tissue expression and circulating levels. The aim of this study is to evaluate if these two microRNAs are expressed not only in the tumoral tissues but also in the blood from cancer patients, and in different amounts compared to circulating levels in healthy individuals. A correlation between tumoral tissue and blood levels will also be evaluated. Should this evaluation show a strong correlation and reliability of circulating microRNAs in the diagnosis and follow up of HCC, future clinical trials targeting these microRNAs and their related pathways might benefit from this being adopted as conventional practice instead of the need of assessing tissue levels from liver biopsies. The results of this pilot study will bring preliminary results as a first step for future analysis on a larger cohort of patients.
NCT02908048
The study will examine and evaluate the use of extracellular RNA in blood as markers for the diagnosis of liver disease or cancer, and as markers for prediction of response to treatment or recurrence of cancer after surgery

NCT07562763
Adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is widely adopted in China for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet its efficacy remains inconsistent. We aimed to identify factors influencing individual patient benefit using causal machine learning. To this end, we retrospectively collected HCC patients with high risk factors for tumor recurrence from four centers of China, divided into the discovery cohort and the validation cohort . The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS).Individual treatment effects (ITEs) were estimated within a causal machine learning framework. An ITE \< 0 was considered recommendation for adjuvant TACE , while ITE ≥ 0 indicated active surveillance. The model would be validated in the validation cohort. The contribution of each variable to ITE was assessed using the Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). An online calculator would be developed for future use by public.
NCT06902246
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects that Regorafenib in combination with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization has on patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
NCT07478302
This study was a multicenter, open-label phase I clinical trial. This trial will include 36 patients with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Blood samples were obtained during the course of treatment to measure the relative parameter. All Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) were discontinued after the total cycle.
NCT07322848
This is a Phase 3, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Drug-Eluting Bead Transarterial Chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) compared with Conventional Transarterial Chemoembolization (cTACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is beyond the Milan criteria and who have previously undergone a Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedure. The TIPS procedure is commonly performed to manage complications of portal hypertension, such as variceal bleeding or refractory ascites, in patients with cirrhosis. However, after TIPS, treatment options for HCC-particularly in cases exceeding the Milan criteria-remain limited and not well-defined in current guidelines. While TACE is a standard locoregional therapy for intermediate-stage HCC, its application in patients with a prior TIPS is controversial due to altered hepatic hemodynamics, which may increase the risk of liver toxicity and compromise treatment safety and efficacy. Preliminary retrospective data suggest that DEB-TACE, which uses calibrated drug-eluting microspheres, may offer a safer and more effective alternative to cTACE in this specific patient population by providing more controlled drug delivery and potentially reducing systemic and hepatic toxicity. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether DEB-TACE improves Overall Survival (OS) compared to cTACE in patients with beyond-Milan HCC after TIPS. Secondary objectives include comparing the safety profile, Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), and Quality of Life (QoL) between the two treatment arms. The study aims to enroll 206 participants who will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either DEB-TACE or cTACE. The trial will include a 24-month recruitment period and a 24-month treatment and follow-up phase, with a total study duration of 48 months. By directly comparing these two TACE approaches in a prospectively defined and randomized setting, this study seeks to provide high-level evidence to guide the optimal locoregional treatment strategy for HCC patients with a history of TIPS placement.
NCT07553767
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2β (Peg-IFN-α-2β) combined with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) in patients aged 18 to 65 years with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical resection. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the changes in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) disappearance rate, HBsAg seroconversion rate, HBsAg decline, and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) levels during treatment and at the end of treatment? * What are the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of the included patients? * What are the correlations between changes in HBsAg, T helper 1/T helper 2 (Th1/Th2) subsets, intestinal flora and RFS, OS in these patients? Researchers will compare Peg-IFN-α-2β combined with NAs to NAs alone to see if the combination treatment can improve HBsAg clearance, seroconversion, long-term survival and reduce recurrence in patients after radical resection of hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma. Participants will: * Receive either Peg-IFN-α-2β combined with first-line NAs (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate \[TDF\], tenofovir alafenamide fumarate \[TAF\], tenofovir amibufen fumarate \[TMF\]) or first-line NAs alone * Undergo regular assessments including HBsAg, HBV DNA, liver and renal function, blood routine, thyroid function, autoantibodies, and tumor markers * Provide stool samples for intestinal flora analysis at specified time points * Complete long-term survival follow-up for up to 5 years
NCT07175441
RBS2418 is a targeted immune modulator that inhibits ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1). It is designed to promote anti-tumor immunity by preserving endogenous 2'-3' cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) from hydrolysis, thereby activating antigen-presenting cells and promoting robust T cell activation. Ideally, RBS2418 acts synergistically with CTLA-4 inhibitors, such as those in the STRIDE regimen (Tremelimumab plus Durvalumab). The hypothesis is that RBS2418 combined with STRIDE will be safe, well-tolerated, highly immunogenic, and enhance anti-tumor responses in adult participants with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared to STRIDE alone.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a combination therapy involving TACE, sintilimab, bevacizumab, and ipilimumab N01 for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It also aims to explore the potential synergistic mechanisms of this combination. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the combination of TACE, sintilimab, bevacizumab, and ipilimumab N01 effective and safe for patients with advanced HCC? How do different sequencing schedules of ipilimumab N01 compare in terms of safety and efficacy? What potential biomarkers can predict treatment response? Researchers will compare three different treatment groups: Group A: Receives TACE and a single dose of ipilimumab N01 administered 3 weeks after the first dose of sintilimab and bevacizumab. Group B: Receives TACE and a single dose of ipilimumab N01 administered concurrently with the first dose of sintilimab and bevacizumab. Group C: Receives TACE, sintilimab and bevacizumab (without ipilimumab N01). Participants will: Be screened for eligibility and be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Receive the assigned study treatment according to their group's schedule. Undergo regular clinic visits for safety checkups, tumor imaging assessments, and response evaluation using RECIST v1.1 and RECICL criteria. Provide biological samples for exploratory biomarker analysis, including: Peripheral blood at baseline and before each treatment cycle (every 3 weeks). Tumor biopsy specimens at baseline and 6 weeks after the first treatment. Surgical specimens if the patient undergoes conversion surgery. Participate in follow-up visits: A safety follow-up visit 30 days after the last study drug dose or before starting new anti-cancer therapy. Subsequent survival follow-up contacts every 90 days to collect information on survival status and any subsequent anti-cancer treatments.
