NCT05703750

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to discuss the prognostic value of CEPH among HCC patients underwent TACE treatment, its impact on overall survival, and try to stratify patient cohorts for a better treatment strategy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival(OS)

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

    up to approximately 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Objective response rate(ORR) per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST)

    up to approximately 2 years

  • Progression free survival(PFS) per mRECIST

    up to approximately 2 years

Study Arms (2)

CEPH group

CEPH was defined when at least one following factor was present: 1) esophageal/gastric varices on upper endoscopy or CT imaging, 2) ascites requiring diuretic treatment, 3) splenomegaly (largest diameter on CT \>12 cm) with a low platelet count (\<100,000/mm3).

Procedure: TACE ± Systemic therapy

non-CEPH group

Non-CEPH was defined when none of the following factor was present: 1) esophageal/gastric varices on upper endoscopy or CT imaging, 2) ascites requiring diuretic treatment, 3) splenomegaly (largest diameter on CT \>12 cm) with a low platelet count (\<100,000/mm3).

Procedure: TACE ± Systemic therapy

Interventions

TACE: cTACE (conventional TACE) or dTACE (drug-eluting beads TACE); Systemic therapy: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, VEGF-TKI/bevacizumab, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors+VEGF-TKI/bevacizumab, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
