Locoregional Chemotherapy for Liver Cancers

Unmet NeedOver 800,000 people are diagnosed with liver cancer annually. As the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, liver cancer accounts for more than 700,000 deaths annually. Recently, Johns Hopkins researchers have developed new chemotherapeutic drugs to treat liver cancer that demonstrate higher efficacy than the current standard of care for...

Transcriptionally Targeted and CPG-free Plasmid for Theranostic Gene Therapy

Unmet NeedHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cancer in the US with a ~twenty percent (20%) survival rate. HCC develops typically in the inflammatory environment of the liver caused by infections or liver disease. Therefore, it is essential to have highly targeted anti-cancer therapies to achieve clinical efficacy. Currently, viral gene...

Alpha particle formulations for treatment of solid tumors

Unmet NeedHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer type worldwide and a leading cause of cancer related deaths. HCC is clinically silent in its early stages, leading to diagnosis at more advanced stages when only non-surgical, palliative treatment is available. One treatment option for advanced HCC is intra-arterial therapy and...

MicroRNA Delivery as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Liver Cancer

Unmet needOver 500,000 people are diagnosed with liver cancer worldwide each year. According the American Cancer Society, liver cancer resists most chemotherapy drugs and the most effective agents shrink less than 1 in 5 tumors and generally for only a short time. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage making it difficult...

Microenvironment-informed combinatorial therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Unmet NeedSorafenib, a kinase inhibitor, has been the gold-standard treatment for most individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, studies suggest survival after treatment remains less than 15% (Raoul et al. 2019). Additionally, side effects, including hand-foot skin reactions and diarrhea, are prevalent in almost half of patients being...
