Conditions

Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Brief summary

To evaluate the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving different first-line immunotherapy.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study evaluating the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving different first-line immunotherapy, including anti-PD1+anti-VEGF, anti-PD1+TKI and anti-PD1+anti-CTLA4. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), with secondary endpoints including disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and immune profiling of tumor tissue and peripheral blood before and after treatment.

Interventions

DRUGSintilimab

Sintilimab will be administered by IV, 200 mg every 3 weeks

Bevacizumab biosimilar will be administered by IV, 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks.

DRUGCamrelizumab

Camrelizumab will be administered by IV, 200 mg every 2 weeks.

Rivoceranib will be administered by oral 250 mg once daily.

DRUGNivolumab

Nivolumab will be administered by IV, 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for up to four doses, followed by nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks

DRUGIpilimumab

Ipilimumab will be administered by IV, 3mg/kg every 3 weeks for up to four doses.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 24 monthsORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters). Responses are according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by investigator.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DOR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 24 monthsDOR is defined as the time from first documented complete or partial response until disease progression, death from any cause, or censoring at date of last tumor assessment.
Time to Response (TTR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 24 monthsTTR is defined as the time from the start of treatment until the first objective observation of a response (either partial response, PR, or complete response, CR), provided that the response is subsequently confirmed.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 24 monthsPFS is defined as the time from study treatment to disease progression or all-cause death as assessed by the investigator (whichever occurs first)
Disease control rate (DCR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 24 monthsDCR is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD).
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0max 42 monthsAn adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience at least one AE will be reported.
Translational studymax 24 monthsProportion of different immune cell types in tumors and blood based on RNA sequencing between two groups.
Overall survival (OS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1max 42 monthsOS is defined as the time from study treatment to the date of death of the subject, regardless of the cause of death.
