Summary: This is a multi-center, open-label phase IIA study that investigates the preliminary efficacy of Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) treatment of liver cancer followed by a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab). Patients with two types of cancers will be enrolled, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and metastatic gastric cancer. All enrolled patients need to have liver lesions and...

Summary: 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 oxyge...

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The majority of patients with HCC are diagnosed as intermediate or advanced stage disease, and not eligible for curative treatments including transplantation, resection, and ablation. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended as first-line treatment for pati...

Summary: This phase II trial evaluates how well transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) works for treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer or lung metastases. TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting chemotherapy directly into an artery that supplies blood to tumors, and then blocking off the blood supply to the tumors. Mitomycin (chemotherapy), Lipiodol (drug carrier), and Em...

Summary: The 5-year recurrence rate after curative hepatectomy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains as high as 70%. According to the Chinese Liver Cancer Staging (CNLC), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is strongly recommended as an adjuvant therapy after curative hepatectomy, aiming to reduce postoperative recurrence and ultimately improve overall survival. However, the effectiveness of such ad...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if lateral plantar artery embolization using Lipiodol can safely and effectively treat chronic heel pain due to plantar fasciitis in adults aged 25 to 80. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this procedure successfully reduce chronic heel pain as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) over 12 months? How safe is the procedure, specifically ...

Summary: This is a randomized controlled trial in which patients with moderate to severe shoulder pain (Visual Analog Scale (VAS) \> 40), in the setting of rotator cuff tendinopathy refractory to conservative treatment, will be enrolled. The primary aim of the study is to estimate the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with physical therapy (PT) vs PT alone on the change in shoulder pain a...

Summary: 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...

Summary: This prospective, single-arm exploratory study evaluates the feasibility and safety of a novel ICG-Cisplatin self-assembled nanoprobe (NIR-II NanoM) for fluorescence-guided surgery in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Participants will receive a transarterial injection of the nanoprobe mixed with lipiodol prior to surgery. During the subsequent laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy, surgeo...

Summary: This randomized controlled trial investigates the safety and efficacy of injecting N-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl®) into the pancreatic parenchyma during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) to enhance the security of the pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis and reduce postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rates.

Summary: This study is a multicenter, open label phase I/ II trial to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of tebentafusp-tebn in combination with liver-directed therapies in HLA-A\*0201 positive patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. In Part 1 of the study, the Prinicipal Investigator will investigate the safety and efficacy of tebentafusp-tebn in combination with hepatic IE in patients with a low to...

Summary: Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a locoregional therapy commonly used in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with high response rates and minimal impairment of liver function reported. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial embolization (TAE) are also commonly used in HCC, with high response rates reported yet carry risks of impairing liver function after repeated embol...
