NCT04639284

Brief Summary

Combination treatment with antiangiogenic agents and anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies have shown high anti-tumor efficacy for patients with unresectable or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). In this single-center cohort study, we are aiming to (1) evaluate the clinical effectiveness in real-world patients, especially for Chinese patients, most of whom were with hepatitis B virus infection; (2) predict clinical effectiveness with clinicopathological features; (3) predict clinical effectiveness with histologic features and blood samples.

Study Arms (1)

Combinational therapy

Participants who receive systemic treatment with an anti-angiogenic agent, including sorafenib, lenvatinib, apatinib, and bevacizumab, in combination with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody, including pembrolizumab, nivolumab, sintilimab, toripalimab, camrelizumab, tislelizumab, and atezolizumab.

Drug: Anti-angiogenic agents plus anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies

Interventions

Combination therapies with an anti-angiogenic agent (tyrosine kinase inhibitor or VEGF/VEGFR antibody) and an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody.

Combinational therapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Unresectable or advanced HCC patients who received the combination therapy with an anti-angiogeic agent and an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agent.

You may qualify if:

  • Documented diagnosis of HCC confirmed by histology/cytology or clinical diagnosis of HCC by Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer in China (2019 edition) criteria.
  • Unresectable or advanced disease at the investigator's discretion. The advanced stage was BCLC C stage or China Liver Cancer Stage IIIa or IIIb.
  • Child-Pugh class A or B7.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
  • Subjects received combination therapy with an anti-angiogenic agent and an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody, received at least one imaging evaluation, and signed an Informed Consent Form. Anti-angiogenic agents include sorafenib, lenvatinib, apatinib, and bevacizumab; anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies include pembrolizumab, nivolumab, sintilimab, toripalimab, camrelizumab, tislelizumab, and atezolizumab.
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function.

You may not qualify if:

  • Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC
  • History of malignancy other than HCC within 5 years prior to the therapy, with the exception of adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • History of organ transplantation or hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Allergic to anti-angiogenic agents or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents.
  • History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within the 6 months, a history of intestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea within 6 months.
  • Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within 2 years prior to the first dose, allowing the use of alternative therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency); history of primary immunodeficiency; presence of only autoimmune antibody-positive subjects. The presence of autoimmune disease needs to be confirmed at the investigator's discretion.
  • Uncontrollable hypertension, SBP \>140 mmHg or DBP \>90 mmHg after optimal medical therapy, hypertensive crisis, or history of hypertensive encephalopathy.
  • Subjects had a bleeding event in the past 6 months due to esophageal or gastric fundus varices induced by portal venous hypertension; subjects have undergone a gastrointestinal endoscopy within 3 months prior to the first dose to diagnose the presence of severe (G3) varices; subjects had a high risk of bleeding as assessed by the investigator.
  • Subject requests withdrawal of informed consent.
  • Other conditions that the investigator deems inappropriate for participation in this study.
