Brief summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with spontaneous rupture is a potentially fatal complication and usually has poor prognosis. In most conditions, the tumors could not be radically moved. Then minimally therapy like transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) could effectively stanch the ruptured tumor and bleeding vessels. Then TACE combined the Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor for this subtype HCC could effectively inhibit the tumor and improve the prognosis.

Detailed description

Spontaneous rupture of HCC is a life-threatening complication. HCC rupture is considerably higher in China. The tumor size in ruptured HCC is significantly greater than that in non-ruptured HCC. In the acute phase, hemostasis is the first concern and then tumor treatment is secondary. TACE can effectively induce hemostasis. Conservative treatment is usually system therapy for unresectable ruptured HCC. Thus, we conduct this multicenter single arm study to explore the efficacy, safety of TACE combined lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor for unresectable ruptured HCC. This study focuses on the efficacy of TACE combined with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor as first-line therapy.

Interventions

PROCEDURETACE

TACE procedure was a 2.8-F microcatheter was super-selectively inserted into the tumor feeding artery using the coaxial technique. Then a combination of lipiodol (5-15 ml), lobaplatin (30-50 mg), and Pirarubicin (30-50 mg) was infused into each tumor. We defined technical success as complete embolization of the tumor-feeding artery resulting in no tumor staining observed by angiogram at the end of procedure.

DRUGLenvatinib

(12 mg (body weight ≥60 kg) , 8 mg (body weight \<60 kg) orally once a day

DRUGPD-1 Inhibitors

Tislelizumab (200mg intravenously every 3 weeks), Sintilimab (200mg intravenously every 3 weeks), Camrelizumab (200mg intravenously every 3 weeks)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free-Survival (PFS)12 monthsProgression was defined as progressive disease by independent radiologic review

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR)12 monthsORR, as determined based on tumor response according to mRECIST, is defined as the proportion of all included patients whose best overall response including complete response or partial response.
Overall survival (OS)12 monthsOS is the length of time from the date of inclusion until death from any cause.
