Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma

A Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-430 in cancers with FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations, including locally advanced/metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and other advanced solid tumors.

This phase IV trial is evaluating whether morning versus afternoon administration of standard of care immunotherapy impacts its effectiveness in treating patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Circadian rhythm refers to the internal biological clock in which various processes in the body, including immune cell activity, are controlled by the time of day. Exactly how this works is not fully understood, and the researchers want to see if circadian rhythm control of the immune system can influence response to immunotherapy based on whether it is given in the morning (before 10:30 am) or afternoon (12:30pm). The time of day that immunotherapy is given (morning versus afternoon) may impact the effectiveness in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Background: A type of drug called monoclonal antibody immune checkpoint inhibitors are often used in cancer treatment. These drugs help the body s immune system fight cancer by blocking proteins that cause cancer cells to grow. One of these drugs (atezolizumab) is approved to treat certain cancers. Researchers want to find out if lower doses of this drug might provide the same benefit with fewer adverse effects. Objective: To test different doses and timing of atezolizumab for people with cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with cancer that has spread locally or to other organs. They must be eligible for treatment with the study drug. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and imaging scans. They will provide a sample of tissue from their tumor. Atezolizumab is administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will take this drug alone or combined with other drugs prescribed for their care. The first 2 treatments will be done per the FDA recommended dose and schedule. Before administering the second dose of the study drug, researchers will check the level of the drug in the participant s blood. Depending on those results, their 3rd dose will be scheduled 2 to 6 weeks later. For the 3rd dose of the study drug, participants will switch to the FDA minimum dosage. Dosages of any other drugs will not change. Researchers will continue to test the levels of the drug in participants blood before each treatment for 16 weeks. After that, these levels will be tested every 3 months. Study treatment may last up to 2 years.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of study medicine (PF-08634404) when given alone or with another antibody (ipilimumab) for the treatment of a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is either locally advanced (spread to nearby tissues) or has spread to other parts of the body. To join the study, participants must meet the following conditions: * Be 18 years or older. * Have locally advanced or metastatic HCC. * Is not a candidate for complete surgical or loco-regional therapies. * Have not received any whole-body treatment for HCC. Participants will receive PF-08634404 either alone or in combination with ipilimumab. The medicine will be given through intravenous (IV) infusions, which means it will be administered directly into a vein. All treatments will take place at clinical trial sites, where trained medical staff will monitor participants during and after each visit.

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.

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 β-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 β-catenin-mutated metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer that are spreading to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to determine if giving radiation therapy to patients who are being treated with immunotherapy and whose cancers are progressing (getting worse) can slow or stop the growth of their cancers. It may also help researchers determine if giving radiation therapy to one tumor can stimulate the immune system to attack other tumors in the body that are not targeted by the radiation therapy.

This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab in combination with a multi-kinase inhibitor (cabozantinib or lenvatinib) compared to multi-kinase inhibitor alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib and lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with cabozantinib or lenvatinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with liver cancer.

How to predict which patients with initially unresectable liver cancer are more likely to respond to conversion therapy remains an important unresolved problem in guiding treatment strategy and surgical timing. Substantial variation exists among patients in their tumor response to the same conversion therapy regimen, and current pretreatment imaging assessment does not adequately capture this inter-individual variability. We hypothesize that baseline tumor viscoelastic parameters measured by three-dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) differ substantially across patients, and that this inter-individual heterogeneity may be associated with differential response to conversion therapy. This study aims to prospectively evaluate the association between baseline 3D-MRE-derived tumor viscoelastic parameters and pathological response as well as surgical conversion outcomes across patients with liver cancer receiving conversion therapy.

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tumor treating fields therapy in combination with either cabozantinib or nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors involving the abdomen or thorax that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced). Tumor treating fields therapy on this study utilizes NovoTTF systems that are wearable devices that use electrical fields at different frequencies that may help stop the growth of tumor cells by interrupting cancer cells' ability to divide. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving tumor treating fields therapy in combination with either cabozantinib, or with nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab may help control advanced solid tumors involving the abdomen or thorax.

Microscopic residual tumor at the resection margin is a critical risk factor for recurrence in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver cancer, yet current detection relies solely on postoperative pathological examination of the resected specimen, which reflects only the removed tissue rather than the actual remnant liver in the patient. How to non-invasively detect residual tumor at the resection margin of the remnant liver after surgery remains an important unresolved problem in the surgical management of liver cancer. We hypothesize that tissue stiffness at the resection margin of the remnant liver, measured by postoperative three-dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE), may reflect microscopic residual tumor and may therefore correlate with pathological resection margin status and be predictive of postoperative tumor recurrence. This study aims to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of postoperative 3D-MRE in detecting residual tumor at the resection margin, using pathological resection margin status as the reference standard, and to further assess its value in predicting tumor recurrence in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver cancer.

How to accurately and safely evaluate regional liver function before hepatectomy remains an important unsolved problem in the surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We plan to develop a non-invasive, functional 3D-MRE-based method for preoperative regional hepatic functional reserve assessment, and to evaluate its ability to predict surgical risk and postoperative liver failure in patients with HCC undergoing hepatectomy.

The purpose of the dose escalation part of the study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of ALN-BCAT as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab; and to determine the recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDFE) of ALN-BCAT as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The purpose of the dose expansion part of the of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of ALN-BCAT as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab; to characterize the safety and tolerability of ALN-BCAT as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Background: A new cancer treatment takes a person s own T cells, modifies them in a laboratory so they can better fight cancer cells, and then gives them back to the person. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help people with a certain types of cancer. Objective: To see if a personalized immune treatment, anti-GPC3 CAR-T cells, is safe. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who have Glypican-3 (GPC3) positive solid tumor malignancy. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Blood and urine tests Medical history Physical exam Heart function tests Review of their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities Tumor biopsy Imaging scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis Participants will have leukapheresis. They may have an IV (intravenous catheter, a small tube put into an arm vein) inserted into each arm or get a central line. Blood will be removed. A machine will separate the white blood cells from their blood. The rest of their blood will be returned to them. Participants will be admitted to the hospital for about 2 weeks. They will get the chemotherapy drugs fludarabine and cyclophosphamide by IV for 3 days. Then they will receive the modified white blood cells by IV. Participants will have frequent blood draws. They will give blood and tumor samples for research. Participants will have follow-up visits for the next 15 years. Then they will be contacted by email or phone for the rest of their life. If their disease does not get worse after 5 years, they will continue to be invited to do imaging studies every 6 months.

This phase II trial tests how well the combination of celecoxib with durvalaumab and tremellimumab works in treating patients with hepatocellular cancer (liver cancer) that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Celecoxib belongs to the family of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents and is used to reduces pain. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving celecoxib with durvalaumab and tremellimumab may better treat patients with advanced or metastatic liver cancer.
