Study summary

Toripalimab and bevacizumab (T-B) was approve for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Transartial therapies, including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), and TACE-HAIC are commonly used for uHCC. Increasing evidence showed that combined systemic therapy and transarterial therapy will improve the response rate for those patients. It is unknown whether which tranarterial therapy will proved favorable efficiency when combined T-B. This phase 2 clinical trial aims to investigate the short outcome of T-B with three distinct transarterial therapies for uHCC.

Read the detailed description

Toripalimab in combination with bevacizumab (T-B) has been approved for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Transarterial therapies-including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), and combined TACE-HAIC-are widely used in the management of uHCC. Growing evidence suggests that combining systemic therapy with transarterial approaches can enhance response rates in these patients. However, it remains unclear which transarterial modality, when used alongside T-B, offers the most favorable efficacy. This phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate and compare the short-term outcomes of T-B in combination with three different transarterial therapies for uHCC.

Secondary outcomes

  1. OS

    overall survival time after randomisation, taking into account all deaths

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. PFS

    progression free survival time after randomisation, taking into account all deaths

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. ORR

    objective response rate assessed by RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. adverse event
