Study summary

This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study evaluating the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma treated with TACE Combined with PD-1 Inhibitor.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study evaluating the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma treated with TACE Combined with PD-1 Inhibitor. 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.

    Drug: PD-1 inhibitor · Procedure: TACE

Interventions

  • DrugPD-1 inhibitor

    An approved agent (e.g., Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, Sintilimab, Tislelizumab, etc.) will be selected based on clinical practice and administered at standard doses and schedules.

  • ProcedureTACE

    TACE is performed by using embolic agent combined with Lipiodol-pirarubicin emulsion per Investigator decision

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    ORR 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.

    Time frame: max 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate (DCR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (S.D)

    Time frame: max 24 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    DOR 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 frame: max 24 months

  3. Time to Response (TTR) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    TTR 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

    Time frame: max 24 months

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    PFS is defined as the time from study treatment to disease progression or all-cause death as assessed by the investigator (whichever occurs first)

    Time frame: max 24 months

  5. Overall survival (OS) evaluated by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1

    OS is defined as the time from study treatment to the date of death of the subject, regardless of the cause of death

    Time frame: max 42 months

  6. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    An 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.

    Time frame: max 42 months

Other outcomes

  1. Translational study

    Proportion of different immune cell types in tumors based on single-cell RNA sequencing between two groups.

    Time frame: max 42 months
