Study summary

This study is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm, open-design phase II clinical study, mainly to explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation combined with anti-PD-1 antibody toripalimab and lenvatinib in patients with short-term recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoint: Recurrence-free survival time (RFS). Secondary endpoints: safety (incidence of adverse events); time to recurrence (TTR); time to local recurrence (TTLR); 12-month recurrence-free survival rate; overall survival (OS); 12 months and 24 Month overall survival rate.

Treatment plan: Patients undergo radiofrequency ablation, 3-5 days after radiofrequency ablation, lenvatinib 12 mg (body weight ≥ 60 kg) or 8 mg (body weight \<60 kg) orally, once a day; toripalimab is a fixed dose of 240 mg, once every 3 weeks, intravenous infusion on the first day of each cycle, the infusion time is no less than 60 minutes.Combination therapy until tumor recurrence, disease progression, death or intolerable toxicity occurs.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previously received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or molecular targeted therapy;
  2. Patients with distant metastasis confirmed by imaging;
  3. The subject has previously or simultaneously suffered from other malignant tumors (except for cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ);
  4. The subjects who have been treated with toripalimab or other PD-1/PD-L1 treatments in the past cannot be included in the group; the subject is known to have been allergic to macromolecular protein preparations, or is known to be allergic to any of the components of teriprizumab;
  5. The subject has any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease (such as the following, but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis , Nephritis, hyperthyroidism, reduced thyroid function; subjects suffering from vitiligo or asthma in childhood has been completely relieved, and can be included in adults without any intervention; subjects requiring bronchodilators for medical intervention can not be included;
  6. The subject is using immunosuppressive agents, or systemic or absorbable local hormone therapy to achieve immunosuppressive purposes (dose>10mg/day prednisone or other curative hormones), and within 2 weeks before enrollment Still in use;
  7. Cardiac clinical symptoms or diseases that are not well controlled, such as: (1) Heart failure above NYHA level 2 (2) Unstable angina (3) Myocardial infarction occurred within 1 year (4) Supraventricular with clinical significance Or patients with ventricular arrhythmia in need of treatment or intervention;
  8. Abnormal coagulation function (PT>16s, APTT>43s, TT>21s, Fbg>2g/L), have bleeding tendency or are receiving thrombolysis or anticoagulation therapy;
  9.
