Liver Cancer and Immunotherapy in the Liquid Biopsy Era

Liver Cancer and Immunotherapy : Clinical Relevance of LIquid BioPSY


Sponsor

University Hospital, Montpellier

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Jun 28, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to identify a predictive biomarker in patients with advanced HCC (stage B and C) using a combinatorial approach of the liquid biopsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is multi-omic liquid biopsy approach able to identify a strong predictive biomarker of immunotherapy efficiency? * Is there a correlation between tissue biopsy (PD-L1 tissue level of expression) and liquid biopsy (detection of CTC expressing PD-L1) in HCC patients? Participants blood will be collected at several time points.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is monitoring people with advanced liver cancer who are being treated with immunotherapy (PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors) and looking at liquid biopsy — blood tests that detect cancer DNA — to track how the cancer responds to treatment over time. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) at Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B or C - Your doctors recommend immunotherapy as your first-line treatment - You have not yet received any prior systemic (whole-body) cancer treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already had systemic treatment for liver cancer - Your liver cancer is at an early or very early stage - You are not a candidate for immune checkpoint therapy Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
