Conditions

Summary

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label study that includes patients meeting the inclusion criteria (liver-GTV volume \< 700ml or estimated liver-GTV V5 \< 300ml) with hepatocellular carcinoma with diffuse tumor thrombosis involving both left and right lobes. All lesions receive moderate-dose hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy, with a gross tumor dose of 25Gy/5f, and a maximum dose of 35Gy/5f at the tumor center. One week before or during the radiotherapy, patients receive concurrent Pembrolizumab at a dose of 200mg. Subsequently, Pembrolizumab is administered intravenously every 3 weeks. Follow-up examinations are conducted 1-3 months post-radiotherapy. Lenvatinib 4mg may be used for maintenance therapy with Pembrolizumab if there are no contraindications. Maintenance therapy is continued until disease progression or intolerance. The primary endpoint is median overall survival (mOS), and secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and toxicity.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination of focused radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiotherapy) with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) for people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has spread into the portal vein or hepatic vein — a serious complication that greatly limits treatment options. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 90 years old with confirmed liver cancer and vascular (blood vessel) invasion - You have acceptable liver function (Child-Pugh A or B7–B8) - Your prior treatments may have included procedures like TACE or RFA, but not prior immunotherapy drugs - Your blood counts and organ function meet minimum thresholds **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are already in another clinical trial - You have had prior abdominal radiation or a liver transplant - You have autoimmune conditions or are on long-term steroid medications - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

RADIATIONModerate-dose Hypofractionated Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy

All lesions receive moderate-dose hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy, with a gross tumor dose of 25Gy/5f, and a maximum dose of 35Gy/5f at the tumor center.

DRUGPembrolizumab

One week before or during the radiotherapy, patients receive concurrent Pembrolizumab at a dose of 200mg. Subsequently, Pembrolizumab is administered intravenously every 3 weeks. Follow-up examinations are conducted 1-3 months post-radiotherapy. Lenvatinib 4mg may be used for maintenance therapy with Pembrolizumab if there are no contraindications. Maintenance therapy is continued until disease progression or intolerance.
