The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, in participants with solid tumors and moderate liver problems.
Living donor liver transplantation is widely accepted as an life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage liver diseases. Careful donor selection is essential to maximize the success and minimize the risk of postoperative complications in donors and recipients. Mapping of biliary anatomy is one of the critical assessments for donor selection …
This is a 4-arm, single-center study involving 40 participants. Ten healthy volunteers will be enrolled for system imaging optimization, and thirty (30) patients with previously identified lesions in the breast, liver, or kidney-based on prior ultrasound or cross-sectional imaging-will be imaged. Recruitment will be conducted such that ten patients are …
Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative option for a selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical selection criteria known as the Milan criteria. Nevertheless, 15% of these patients still show tumour recurrence after LT. In a monocentric pilot study, we have demonstrated that specific changes in …
The management of liver metastases in neuroendocrine neoplasms is challenging. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) is one of the most promising therapeutic options. As liver is the most frequent site of metastatic disease, our project proposes to compare administration of radiolabeled SSA by arterial intrahepatic infusion …
The BILLIONSTARS study is a prospective, single arm observational study inviting patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) who are to be recommended locoregional intervention by surgery, ablation or transarterial chemoembolization and/or antitumoral medical treatment. The aim is to investigate how tumor- and individual-related factors affect response to …
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate induction treatment with Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump therapy combined with systemic therapy (HAIP-SYST) in chemotherapy-naive patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases without extrahepatic disease. The main question it aims to answer is if combined HAIP-SYST improves survival compared to induction …
FAPI PET/CT molecular imaging represents a cutting-edge advancement in oncological imaging, particularly for the preoperative assessment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs), which are the focus of this imaging modality, selectively target cancer-associated fibroblasts, a critical component of the tumor microenvironment. FAPI PET/CT could be useful …
Cirrhosis is a major public health issue responsible for about 15000 deaths each year. Liver transplantation (LT) remains the only curative treatment for decompensated cirrhosis. Decompensated cirrhotic patients awaiting LT are malnourished, sarcopenic and fragile. The evaluation of the nutritional status of these patients is complex because the anthropometric data …
Liver resection is a major surgery that can be associated with significant intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion. Among high-volume centers, median intraoperative blood loss ranges between 300-800 ml. Excessive blood loss is a strong independent predictor of worsened postoperative outcomes, increasing morbidity and mortality rates by 20%-35%. Additionally, perioperative …
