RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL
Combination of TATE and PD-1 Inhibitor in Liver Cancer
Phase IIA Single-Arm Study of Treatment of Patients With Advanced Liver Cancer With a Combination of TATE (Transarterial Tirapazamine Embolization) Followed by an Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody
About This Trial
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 have progressed on a prior immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
1. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of (1) advanced HCC or (2) metastatic gastric cancer.
2. Patients between ages 18 and 80
3. If HCC patients, they should have progressive disease (PD) on an immune therapy for advanced HCC. For patients with metastatic gastric cancer, they should have failed at least one line of systemic chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
4. Patients with liver tumor lesions with at least one with a diameter of 2 cm or bigger, which is amendable for (super-)selective TATE as the target lesion.
5. ECOG score 2 or less
6. Child-Pugh scores 5-7 for HCC patients
7. All prior chemotherapy at least 4 weeks prior to study treatment. Immunotherapy not subject to this limitation.
8. No major GI bleeding in the prior 2 months.
8\. Hgb\>=8, platelet \>= 50,000, Cr =\< 2, AST and ALT \< 10 X ULN, t-Bilirubin \< 3, 9. Patients with a history of major autoimmune disorders excluded.
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
