Study summary

Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin\&5-fluorouracil was effective in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The program of FOLFOX-HAIC in HCC was performed for 1 day (HAIC 1d) or 2 days (HAIC 2d). We hereby retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety between these two treatment regimens, and explored the predictive power of thymidylate synthase (TYMS), an enzyme involved in the DNA synthesis process and metabolism of fluorouracil. Patients with HCC staged BCLC A-B receive HAIC only, and patients with HCC staged BCLC C receive HAIC plus systemic treatment, such as sorafenib, A+T, lenvatinib.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    HAIC 1d

    Oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and bolus fluorouracil were conducted equally in the both groups, while infusional fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² was given over 23 hours in the HAIC 1d group

    Procedure: HAIC · Drug: FOLFOX 1d

  • Active comparator
    HAIC 2d

    Oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and bolus fluorouracil were conducted equally in the both groups, while infusional fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² was given over 46 hours in the HAIC 2d group

    Procedure: HAIC · Drug: FOLFOX 2d

Interventions

  • ProcedureHAIC

    The microcatheter was advanced into the hepatic artery, and patients were transferred to the inpatient ward for drug infusion via the hepatic artery

  • DrugFOLFOX 2d

    Oxaliplatin, leucovorin, bolus fluorouracil, and infusional fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² over 46 hours
