Brief summary

Compare the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab, apatinib plus FOLFOX-HAIC and camrelizumab plus apatinib in hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein invasion.

Interventions

PROCEDUREFOLFOX-HAIC

Hepatic arterial infusion of oxaliplatin (85mg/m2,IA,day 1, hour 0-2), fluorouracil (400mg/m2,IA,day 1, hour 3), leucovorin (400mg/m2, IV,day 1, hour 2-3) and fluorouracil (2400mg/m2, IA, hour 3-23) repeated every 4 weeks for a total of six times

DRUGCamrelizumab

Camrelizumab was administered 200mg intravenously for 30-60 minutes every 2 weeks, and the maximum cumulative duration of Camrelizumab is 2 years. The shortest time interval between two administrations should not be less than 12 days.

DRUGApatinib

Apatinib was administered orally 250mg once per day
