Targeting Ischemia-Induced Autophagy Dependence in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most commonly used therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a catheter into the artery in the liver that feeds the tumor, administering chemotherapeutics and then blocking the artery with embolics in order to kill tumor cells by depriving them of essential oxygen and nutrients. While TACE has a proven survival benefit, local recurrence is common, and long-term survival rates are poor. Prior studies demonstrate that HCC cells survive the oxygen and nutrient deprivation through autophagy, a process of cellular self-eating, to provide nutrients required for survival. The proposed project will leverage this dependency to develop a novel approach to TACE that integrates autophagy inhibition to improve therapeutic response by increasing tumor cell killing and enhancing anti-tumor immunity.

Cholate Clearance in Fontan and Heart Failure

Fontan ยท Right Heart Failure

The goal of this study is to use the HepQuant dual cholate clearance assay, which has been shown to measure liver function in people with known chronic liver conditions, to assess severity of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD). This study aims to understand the role impaired blood flow to the liver plays in liver function in Fontan patients compared to patients with right heart failure and healthy controls. The study will also determine whether cholate clearance is a good measure to use in this population, and whether it will be able to predict clinical outcomes. Participants will undergo a HepQuant dual cholate clearance assay and a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the beginning of the study, and then data on health status will be collected for 5 years.

Testing Pump Chemotherapy in Addition to Standard of Care Chemotherapy Versus Standard of Care Chemotherapy Alone for Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: The PUMP Trial

Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma ยท Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver ยท Stage IV Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8

This phase III trial compares hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) (pump chemotherapy) in addition to standard of care chemotherapy versus standard of care chemotherapy alone in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). HAI uses a catheter to carry a tumor-killing chemotherapy drug called floxuridine directly into the liver. HAI is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver, but it is only available at a small number of hospitals, and most of the time it is not used until standard chemotherapy stops working. Standard chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding HAI to standard chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing unresectable colorectal liver metastases.

Liver Transplantation in Patients With CirrHosis and Severe Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: iNdications and outComEs

Liver Diseases ยท Liver Cirrhosis ยท Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure

Management of ACLF is mainly supportive. The poor outcomes lead physicians to consider liver transplantation as an option, even if controversial. In sicker recipients, LT results in immediate survival, but poor medium-term survival rates in some studies. The scarcity of deceased donors obliges to maximize LT success. Alternative strategies, as living-donor LT, should be explored. LDLT has impressive results in Eastern centers, but it is restrained in Western countries, due to potential life-threatening complications in the donor.

A Phase 1/2 Study of BGB-B2033, Alone or in Combination With Tislelizumab With or Without Bevacizumab, in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma ยท Local Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma ยท Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-Producing Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of BGB-B2033 alone or in combination with tislelizumab, with or without bevacizumab, in adults with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer (GC), extragonadal yolk sac tumors, non-dysgerminomas, or glypican-3 (GPC3)-positive squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will also determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BGB-B2033 when given alone or in combination with tislelizumab and bevacizumab. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is BGB-B2033 safe and tolerable when given alone or in combination with tislelizumab, with or without bevacizumab? * How does the body process BGB-B2033, and what are its effects on the body? * Does BGB-B2033 show preliminary antitumor activity in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer? Researchers will evaluate different doses and treatment combinations to determine the safest and most appropriate dose of BGB-B2033 for further study. Participants will: * Receive BGB-B2033 by intravenous infusion, either alone or in combination with tislelizumab, with or without bevacizumab. * Have regular assessments to monitor safety, side effects, how their body processes and responds to BGB-B2033, and whether their cancer responds to treatment.

National Liver Cancer Screening Trial

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular ยท Liver Cancer ยท Liver Cirrhosis

The National Liver Cancer Screening Trial is an adaptive randomized phase IV Trial comparing ultrasound-based versus biomarker-based screening in 5500 patients with cirrhosis from any etiology or patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Arm A using semi-annual ultrasound and AFP-based screening or Arm B using semi-annual screening using GALAD alone. Randomization will be stratified by sex, enrolling site, Child Pugh class (A vs. B), and HCC etiology (viral vs. non-viral). Patients will be recruited from 15 sites (mix of tertiary care and large community health systems) over a 3-year period, and the primary endpoint of the phase IV trial, reduction in late-stage HCC, will be assessed after 5.5 years.

Study to Check the Safety of Fazirsiran and Learn if Fazirsiran Can Help People With Liver Disease and Scarring (Fibrosis) Due to an Abnormal Version of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Protein

Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo. Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Sapanisertib, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Cabozantinib) in Metastatic Liver Cell Cancer With a Change in Genes for the Protein ฮฒ-Catenin, The SAPHIRE Trial

Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma ยท Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma ยท Stage III Hepatocellular Carcinoma AJCC v8

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib when given together with cabozantinib, and to see how well they work in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) and contains a mutation (change) in the ฮฒ-catenin gene. Sapanisertib and cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving sapanisertib and cabozantinib together may work better than giving cabozantinib alone in treating ฮฒ-catenin-mutated metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
