About this trial

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in combination with donafenib and pucotenlimab as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Eligible patients will receive FOLFOX-HAIC administered every three weeks together with oral donafenib and intravenous pucotenlimab. Tumor response will be assessed according to RECIST v1.1. The primary objective of the study is to determine the objective response rate, and secondary objectives include progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, and safety.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female participants aged 18 to 75 years.

Histologically or clinically diagnosed Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) according to AASLD or EASL guidelines.

Disease stage classified as Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B (unresectable) or stage C.

No prior systemic treatment for advanced HCC (treatment-naïve).

Disqualifiers

Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Donafenib, Pucotenlimab, or any of their excipients.

Previous treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, or other immunomodulatory agents.

Diagnosis of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years (excluding cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix).

Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC)

    Procedure/Surgery

    This intervention consists of a combination regimen including hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for the treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is delivered through an implanted hepatic arterial catheter using a FOLFOX-based regimen, allowing high local drug concentrations within the liver while reducing systemic exposure. Donafenib, an oral multikinase inhibitor with anti-angiogenic activity, is administered continuously during treatment. Pucotenlimab, a programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitor, is administered by intravenous infusion to enhance antitumor immune responses. The combination is intended to achieve synergistic antitumor effects through regional cytotoxic chemotherapy, inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, and immune checkpoint blockade. Safety and antitumor activity of the regimen will be evaluated throughout the study period.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Efficacy will be evaluated by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

Time frame
From baseline until disease progression or loss of clinical benefit, assessed approximately every 6 to 9 weeks, up to 2 years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Defined as the time from the first date of study treatment to the date of first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From baseline up to approximately 2 years.
2

Overall Survival (OS)

Defined as the time from the first date of study treatment to the date of death from any cause.

Time frame
From baseline up to approximately 3 years.
3

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

Defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a confirmed Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) maintained for a specified minimum duration, according to RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
From baseline until disease progression, assessed approximately every 6 to 9 weeks, up to 2 years.
4

Duration of Response (DoR)

Defined as the time from the first documentation of objective response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause.

Time frame
From date of first response up to approximately 2 years.
