Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Antibody/tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with or Without HAIC for Advanced HCC

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Antibody/tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with or Without Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy As First-line Treatment for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma


Sponsor

Zhongda Hospital

Enrollment

900 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2018

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) plus programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are recommended for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China. However, these treatments have limited survival benefit in patients with advanced HCC. We aimed to investigate whether hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in combination with TKIs and PD-1 inhibitors could improve the efficacy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This observational study in China examines whether adding a procedure called HAIC (hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy — delivering chemotherapy directly into the liver's blood supply) to standard immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic (blood vessel-blocking) drugs improves outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC). **You may be eligible if:** - You have confirmed liver cancer (HCC) by imaging, biopsy, or lab tests - Your cancer is at an advanced stage (BCLC stage B or C) - You have not received prior systemic (whole-body) treatments for HCC - You are receiving both immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) and anti-angiogenic drugs, with or without HAIC **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have already received systemic treatment for liver cancer - You are at an early stage eligible for curative treatment - You have serious liver failure or other conditions making you ineligible Note: This is an observational study — researchers analyze outcomes from patients already receiving treatment, without assigning experimental therapies. Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
