  Purpose

Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive disease with limited therapeutic options. Therefore, new approaches to treat this type of cancer are needed with immunotherapy potentially being one of these. As a first step in the development of novel therapies, expression analysis of specific markers, including tumor antigens will be carried out. This will be done retrospectively using available hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples.


Condition Intervention
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
 Other: Retrospective analysis of already archived samples

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case-Only

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • This study will also analyze whether this gene-expression signature is present in matched cirrhotic tissue and the interface tissue with the tumor. [ Time Frame: At the time of analysis. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of hepatocellular carcinoma cancer patients whose tumor tissue -expresses any one or more of specific target antigens -overexpresses c-MET -expresses a pre-defied gene-expression signature [ Time Frame: At the time of analysis. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Biospecimen Retention:   None Retained

This retrospective study is based upon the analysis of archived samples and patient-related data already available at the investigational site
