Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in combination with Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib in patients with advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Read the detailed description

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) can induce immunogenic cell death and tumor-specific immune response which results in the release of tumor antigens and transform "cold" tumors with lacking immune effector cells into "hot" tumors with immune effector cells infiltration. This provides a theoretical basis for TACE combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Tislelizumab is a PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for first-line and second-line treatment of patients with HCC. The purpose of this real-world study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TACE in combination with Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib in patients with advanced-stage HCC.

Study population

Patients with advanced HCC who received Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib with/without TACE under real-world practice conditions.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. or cytologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or patients who meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for primary liver cancer;
  2. Age ≥18 years at the time of HCC diagnosis;
  3. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C;
  4. No prior systemic therapy for HCC (including chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy);
  5. Received treatment with tislelizumab and lenvatinib, with the interval between the first administration of the two drugs ≤1 week;
  6. In the experimental group, TACE was performed within 3 months before or after treatment with tislelizumab and lenvatinib;
  7. After TACE, patients received at least one cycle of combination therapy with tislelizumab and lenvatinib, including cTACE and DEB-TACE;
  8. class A5 to B7;
  9. Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0-1;
  10. At least one measurable intrahepatic lesion according to 1.1 criteria.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma histological types;
  2. Complete obstruction of the main portal vein with insufficient collateral compensation;
  3. Uncontrollable ascites or hepatic encephalopathy;
  4. Incomplete clinical data or missing essential information;
  5. Presence of other primary malignant tumors in addition to the diagnosis of liver cancer;
  6. Participation in other interventional studies prior to treatment;
  7. Other conditions deemed unsuitable for inclusion by the investigators.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Groups and cohorts

  • Study group

    TACE + Tislelizumab + Lenvatinib TACE was performed within 3 months before or after the first Tislelizumab /Lenvatinib treatment. The interval between first use Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib ≤1 week;

  • Control group

    Tislelizumab + Lenvatinib The interval between first use Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib ≤1 week;

This study also gives Lenvatinib. No intervention listed here names it: that was found by reading the record.

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) per RECIST 1.1

    The PFS is defined as the time from the initiation of any combination treatment to the first documented progressive disease (according to RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: up to approximately 2 years

  2. PFS per mRECIST

    Time frame: up to approximately 2 years

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RESCIST 1.1

    Time frame: up to approximately 2 years

    Time frame: up to approximately 2 years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 23, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
