Radioembolization With Intra-arterial Angiotensin II to Improve Tumor-absorbed Dose (RADIANT)
This clinical trial will test whether a short infusion of a drug called angiotensin II (AT-II) can make a liver cancer treatment work better. The drug is given directly into the artery that supplies blood to the liver, right before a treatment called yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization. The main questions it …
mSEPT9 Biomarker for Predicting Hepatocellular Carcinoma Occurrence in Patients With Cirrhosis
This study aims to evaluate the role of the circulating epigenetic biomarker mSEPT9 in predicting the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis. HCC is a primary liver cancer that frequently develops in individuals with cirrhosis, and early detection is critical for improving outcomes. This research involves 400 …
Modified Immune Cells (Autologous Dendritic Cells) and a Vaccine (Prevnar) Combined With Immune Checkpoint Inhibition After High-Dose External Beam Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Unresectable Liver Cancer
This early phase I trial studies the side effects of autologous dendritic cells and a vaccine called Prevnar in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition (with bevacizumab and atezolizumab or druvalumab) in treating patients liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) after undergoing standard high-dose external beam radiotherapy. Autologous …
Cardiovascular Risk in Children With Chronic Conditions Study
Children living with chronic health conditions face a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases than their peers, largely due to the accelerated aging of the heart and blood vessels. Although experts recognize this elevated risk and recommend close monitoring and early intervention, the underlying mechanisms driving this phenomenon remain poorly …
Neoadjuvant Serplulimab & Bevacizumab With FOLFOX vs. FOLFOX Alone in RAS/BRAF WT, pMMR/MSS CRC Patients
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the addition of Serplulimab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and Bevacizumab (an anti-angiogenesis agent) to the standard FOLFOX chemotherapy can enhance the immune microenvironment in the liver, increase T lymphocyte infiltration, and consequently improve the postoperative prognosis for patients with surgically resectable …
Study of microRNAs in a Decompensated Cirrhosis
Cirrhotic patients are at higher risk of sepsis due to impaired innate and adaptive immune responses. Septic complications represent a major issue in the management of cirrhotic patients, with a 1-month mortality rate of 23%, which increases to 80% at 3 months in case of associated organ failure. Delay to …
3D-MRE and 2D-MRE for Assessing Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) …
Novel Tracer Methods to Evaluate Muscle Protein Metabolism in Cirrhosis
To determine the rate and mechanisms of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown in cirrhotic patients by using multiple tracers and single muscle biopsies.
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cellgram-LC Administration in Patients With Alcoholic Cirrhosis
This phase III clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) injected hepatic artery.
Mechanisms of Malnutrition in Cirrhosis With Portosystemic Shunting
Cirrhosis is characterized by loss of muscle as well as fat mass, which increases morbidity and mortality before, during, and after liver transplantation. A common mechanism for the reduced muscle and fat mass in cirrhosis is an increased expression of the TGF (transforming growth factor)beta superfamily member, myostatin, in the …
