About this trial
“The PHITT trial is an over-arching study for patients with Hepatoblastoma (HB) and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). This trial will use a risk-adapted approach to the treatment of children diagnosed with HB. Children with HCC will be included as a separate cohort.
The trial will evaluate whether reducing treatment for low risk HB patients maintains their excellent event free survival (EFS) and decreases acute and long-term toxicity. Intensification of therapy with the use of novel agents will be evaluated in the high risk group. The trial will also compare three different regimens in intermediate risk HB.”
Patient Profile
Clinical diagnosis of Hepatoblastoma (HB) and histologically defined diagnosis of HB or Hepatocellular Cancer (HCC).
