About this trial

The aim of this study is to the efficacy, prognosis, adverse effects, and factors for predicting therapeutic effects and clinical prognosis of combined therapy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), Anti-VEGF antibodies or pan-target anti-angiogenic drugs, and anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibody for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma which initially unsuitable for the radical therapy, including resection, transplantation, or ablation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Patients Amendable to Curative Surgical Interventions

Number of patients amendable to curative surgical interventions defined as number of patients receiving curative surgical resection, transplantation, or ablation after successful down-sizing of tumor(s) by intervention.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to the date of last treatment, an average of 3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Response Rate measured by mRECIST criteria

Complete response (CR): Disappearance of any intra-tumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions; Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions. Response rate is the rate of CR plus PR.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST v1.1, assessed up to 3 years
2

Time to progression (TTP)

Time to progression (TTP): measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1. This does not include death from any cause.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST1.1, assessed up to 3 years
3

Time to intrahepatic tumor progression (TTITP)

Time to intrahepatic tumor progression (TTITP): measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented intrahepatic tumor progression according to mRECIST 1.1. This does not include death from any cause.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented intrahepatic tumor progression according to mRECIST 1.1, assessed up to 3 years
4

Progression-free survival (PFS)

measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). Participants alive and without disease progression or lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of their last radiographic assessment.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 years
