Adjuvant PD-1 Inhibitor for Patients With Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Microwave Ablation

Adjuvant PD-1 Inhibitor for Patients With Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Microwave Ablation: a Prospective Cohort Study


Sponsor

Chen Xiaoping

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Dec 1, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

For early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, i.e. Barcelona Clinical Liver Cancer Stage 0, ablation is the standard treatment with a comparable prognosis and less risk of ablation compared with liver resection. However, ablation is demanding on the surgeon and patients often face early recurrence if ablation is not complete. Therefore, it is necessary to find reasonable adjuvant treatment to consolidate the effect of microwave therapy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether adding a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system fight cancer) after microwave ablation (a heat-based procedure that destroys liver tumors) can prevent liver cancer from returning in patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 75 years old - You have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at an early stage (BCLC 0-A) - Your cancer is confined to the liver - There is no sign of cancer returning at 2–4 weeks after ablation - You are in good functional health - You have adequate liver and blood function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had other cancers or previously had HCC that recurred - You received any prior treatment for HCC - You have active infections, autoimmune disease, or immune deficiency - You have had recent bleeding from esophageal varices Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
