Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Epalrestat

    Drug

    For the first 6 patients in the safety lead-in period, the starting dose of epalrestat was 50 mg, three times per day. If dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred in the first 6 patients, the dose for the second round of 6 patients in the safety lead-in period would be adjusted to 50 mg, twice per day. If DLT occurred in the second round of 6 patients, the dose for the third round of 6 patients in the safety lead-in period would be adjusted to 50 mg, once per day.

  • Donafenib + Tislelizumab

    Drug

    donafenib 0.2g BID, tislelizumab 200mg/21days

  • HAIC

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

12-month Event-free survival (EFS) Rate

The proportion of patients who have remained event-free from the start of treatment until the 12-month time point.(Predefined events include: progression of disease, death for any reason, terminate the treatment due to intolerable AEs.)

Time frame
From treatment to the first occurrence of a predefined event (progression of disease, death for any reason, terminate the treatment due to intolerable AEs), assessed up to 2 years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

Defined as the time from treatment to the first occurrence of a predefined event (progression of disease, death for any reason, terminate the treatment due to intolerable AEs).

Time frame
From treatment to the first occurrence of a predefined event (progression of disease, death for any reason, terminate the treatment due to intolerable AEs), assessed up to 2 years.
2

Overall survival (OS)

The OS is defined as the time from the enrollment to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years
3

Progression free survival(PFS) (Overall)

The PFS is defined as the time from the enrollment to the first documented progressive disease (according to mRECIST) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From enrollment to progressive disease (according to mRECIST) or death due to any cause, up to 2 years.
4

Progression free survival(PFS) of intra-hepatic lesions

The PFS is defined as the time from the enrollment to the first documented progressive disease of intra-hepatic lesions or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From the enrollment to the first documented progressive disease of intra-hepatic lesions or death due to any cause, up to 2 years.
