GNB4 and Riplet Gene Methylation Combined Detection Kit for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Monitoring

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational longitudinal study designed to evaluate the clinical performance of the GNB4 and Riplet Gene Methylation Combined Detection Kit (Real-time PCR) for monitoring recurrence after treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Adult patients with confirmed or highly suspected hepatocellular carcinoma who are planned to undergo, or have undergone, liver resection, liver transplantation, ablation, or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) will be enrolled. Plasma samples will be collected before treatment and during follow-up after treatment. The test results of the study kit will be compared with the clinical reference standard, which is based on comprehensive clinical diagnosis according to routine practice and relevant guidelines. The study aims to assess whether this methylation-based blood test can help identify recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after treatment. The main clinical performance measures include sensitivity in patients with recurrent disease, specificity in patients without recurrence, and overall agreement with the clinical reference standard.

Safety of Atezolizumab-Bevacizumab in Liver Transplanted Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The prognosis of liver transplanted (LT) patients with recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially those with progression after locoregional treatment or advanced HCC, remains poor. Current treatment modalities involve tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) characterized by a low response rate and often poor tolerability. Encouraging findings from the Imbrave 150 study, demonstrating increased survival rates coupled with favorable treatment tolerance, prompt the investigators to consider the potential of offering the combination of treatment with Atezolizumab-Bevacizumab (Atezo-Beva) to patients with LT. No data regarding the safety and efficacy of this new combination are available for patients with LT as they were not included in Imbrave 150. Immunosuppression after LT is low when compared to essentially all other organ recipients, liver recipients are considered with lower immunological risk. However, the use of ICIs has been associated with a risk of hepatic rejection in LT patients. In this study, in order to prevent acute cellular rejection (ACR) occurrence, we propose to adopt a standardized immunosuppressive regimen closed to the one used immediately after LT but with lower therapeutic goals for tacrolimus and everolimus to allow immunotherapy treatment to be effective. The better tolerance of liver grafts will probably lead to less risk of rejection with Atezo-Beva than in other organ transplants.

TheraBionic P1 Device in Subjects With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the TheraBionic P1 device given to patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have no standard of care options can affect patients survival. The main questions it aims to answer are: * will the TheraBionic P1 device affect overall survival in advance HCC * the long term safety and tolerability of the TheraBionic P1 device * assessment of how the disease responded to the TheraBionic P1 device

A Study of SCG101 in the Treatment of Subjects With Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This Phase 1/ 2a study is a multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SCG101 in subjects with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma
