Safety Study of Combining Ultrasound Microbubbles and Chemotherapy to Treat Malignant Neoplasms of Digestive System

July 23, 2015 updated by: Kun Yan, Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

Safety Study of Combining Ultrasound Microbubbles and Chemotherapy to Treat Malignant Neoplasms of Liver Metastases From Gastrointestinal Tumors and Pancreatic Carcinoma

Ultrasonic sonoporation can increase the release of chemotherapeutics, thus increasing the therapeutic effects. The main purpose is to identify the safety of combining ultrasonic microbubbles and chemotherapeutics to treat malignant neoplasms of hepatic metastases from alimentary system and pancreatic carcinoma.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Ultrasonic sonoporation can increase the release of chemotherapeutics, thus increasing the therapeutic effects.

  1. Main purpose

    1. To identify the safety of combining ultrasonic microbubbles and chemotherapeutics to treat malignant neoplasms of hepatic metastases from alimentary system and pancreatic carcinoma.
    2. To explore the largest mechanical index and ultrasonic treatment time which patients can endure.
  2. Secondary purpose

    1. To observe tumor clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD).
    2. To evaluate the preliminary effect,such as time to failure(TTF), time to death(TTD)
