Fibrolamellar Carcinoma clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Fibrolamellar carcinoma is a rare liver cancer that mostly affects young people. UCSF is testing a drug called pembrolizumab to see if it can help children with this cancer. This study is part of ongoing research to find better treatments.

  • Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults With Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery, cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, 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. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of chemotherapy alone.
