Clinical trials

This is a prospective, single-center, phase II study，to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icariin soft capsules combined with TACE as adjuvant therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients at high risk of recurrence after resection.

Lenvatinib is an oral multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) inhibitor that mainly inhibits the Endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) VEGFR-1,2,3; Fibroblast growth factor receptor, FGFR) FGFR-1,2,3,4; Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) PDGFRα; The kinases RET and KIT, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and playing an anti-angiogenic role, have been approved by the FDA and CFDA as first-line treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer. lenvatinib showed longer disease progression than sorafenib (8.9 months vs. sorafenib. 3.7 months), longer progression-free survival (7.4 months vs. 3.7 months), and higher disease control rates (24.1% vs. 9.2%). Therefore, lenvatinib has obvious advantages in HCC treatment because of its strong anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor growth effects. Cindilimab is a human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to PD-1 molecules on the surface of T cells, thereby blocking the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/programmed death receptor-1 ligand (PD-L1) pathway induced by tumor immune tolerance, and reactivating the antitumor activity of lymphocytes. In summary, recurrence after radical treatment of liver cancer is an urgent clinical problem. Recurrent HCC treatment represented by resection, ablation and TACE is difficult to achieve more satisfactory efficacy. The main ablative techniques includes radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation and cryoablation.As a local treatment for liver cancer, ablation has the risk of incomplete ablation and insufficient ablation margin, and because RFA cannot resolve micrometastases, tumor growth, invasion and metastasis occur. Therefore, ablation combined with lenvatinib and immune checkpoint inhibitors have theoretical complementary advantages, and this study intends to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of ablation combined with lenvatinib plus anti-PD-1 antibodies in the treatment of patients with early recurrent liver cancer compared with ablation alone.

The clinical treatment of patients with resistant/relapsed/advanced gynecological malignancies is very difficult, and the difficulty lies in the selection of effective drugs. This study was a cohort study of recurrent/drug-resistant advanced ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma and advanced/recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma treated in our hospital. A total of 20 cases were included in the proposed study group, including 12 cases of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma and 8 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Twenty patients who did not use PTC model to guide treatment at the same period were selected as controls. To compare the consistency of in vitro drug sensitivity detection results of PTC microtumor with clinical therapeutic effect, and to explore the feasibility of using PTC microtumor model to guide the treatment of patients with drug-resistant/recurrent advanced ovarian epithelial cancer or endometrial cancer. The clinical therapeutic effects of the study group and the control group were compared, and the rates of CR, PR, SD, PFS, OS and TTP were evaluated by RECIST1.1 standard. PTC models based on different clinical samples (tissue and ascites) were compared to analyze the consistency of in vitro drug sensitivity detection results and the relationship with clinical efficacy.
