Study population

Patients with high tumor burden advanced HCC with PVTT who received HAIC in combination with PD-1 inhibitors and Lenvatinib under real-world practice conditions.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18 to 80 years old;
  2. Diagnosis of HCC was confirmed by histologic or cytologic analysis or clinical features according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guideline;
  3. At least one measurable intrahepatic lesion as per the RECIST 1.1 criteria;
  4. HCC staging of the patients are consistent with both the BCLC stage C and the CNLC stage IIIa.
  5. Presence of PVTT;
  6. Patients received a first-line lenvatinib+PD-1 (L+P) inhibitors combination or that of HAIC+lenvatinib+PD-1 inhibitors (H+L+P). More specifically, the administration of lenvatinib was concomitant with PD-1 inhibitors, and HAIC was performed either concurrently with, or up to 2 months before or after the L+P inhibitors combination therapy. Patients in the H+L+P group should undergo at least 2 cycles of HAIC, receive at least 2 cycles of PD-1 inhibiors and take at least 2 months of lenvatinib. Patients in the L+P group should receive at least 2 cycles of PD-1 inhibiors, and take at least 2 months of lenvatinib.
  7. Child-Pugh class A or B7;
  8. Tumor burden meets up to 7 out criteria.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who took anti-tumor treatments before the combination therapy;
  2. With other malignant tumors;
  3. incomplete data.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The OS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival(PFS) (Overall)

    The PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to the first documented progressive disease (according to mRECIST) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  2. Progression free survival(PFS) of intra-hepatic lesions

    The PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to the first documented progressive disease of intra-hepatic lesions or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  3. Progression free survival(PFS) of extra-hepatic lesions

    The PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to the first documented appearance of extra-hepatic lesions or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  4. Progression free survival(PFS) of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT)

    The PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to the first documented progressive disease of PVTT or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  5. Objective response rate(ORR) per RESCIST 1.1

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response(CR) or partial response(PR) per RECIST 1.1.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  6. ORR per mRECIST

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented CR or PR per mRECIST.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  7. ORR of PVTT

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented CR or PR of PVTT.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

  8. Adverse event(AE) per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE) 5.0

    The percentage and degree of patients who experience at least one AE, whether or not considered related to the treatment, according to CTCAE version 5.0.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years
