NCT06311942

Brief Summary

Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. What can be done to improve the surgical prognosis of this group of patients needs to be continuously explored.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • DFS

    DFS defined as time to recurrence or death after surgery.

    From date of include in this research until the date of first documented recurrence or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • OS

    From date of include in this research until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Study Arms (2)

Triple adjuvant therapy group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the triple adjuvant therapy group received HAIC in combination with PD-1 inhibitors and lenvatinib adjuvant therapy.

Drug: HAIC plus PD-1 inhibitors plus lenvatinib

Dual adjuvant therapy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in the Dual adjuvant therapy group received PD-1 inhibitors combined lenvatinib adjuvant therapy.

Drug: PD-1 inhibitors plus lenvatinib

Interventions

Patients in the triple adjuvant therapy group received one cycle of HAIC about a month after liver resection, HAIC was adopted the FOFOLX6 program (Folinic acid+5-fluorouracil+Oxaliplatin). The first cycle of PD-1 monoclonal antibody was administrated 2-4 weeks postoperatively, 200 mg IV, every 21 days for a total of 9 cycles. Lenvatinib was initiated orally 2-4 weeks postoperatively for 6 months.
