About this trial

This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus sintilimab, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with FOLFOX regemen (LEN+SIN+DEB-TACE+HAIC) versus lenvatinib plus sintilimab and DEB-TACE (LEN+SIN+DEB-TACE) for large hepatocellular carcinoma (\> 7cm) with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

a confirmed diagnosis of HCC

the largest intrahepatic lesion >7 cm

presence of PVTT on imaging

tumor recurrence after curative treatment (hepatectomy or ablation) is eligible for enrollment

Disqualifiers

accompanied with vena cava tumor thrombus

central nervous system involvement

previous treatment with TACE, HAIC, TAE, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy

organ (heart and kidneys) dysfunction, unable to tolerate TACE or HAIC treatment

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • LEN+SIN+DEB-TACE+HAIC

    Combination product

    For DEB-TACE, superselective catheterization is performed and DEBs loaded with pirarubicin is use for chemoembolization. The embolization end point was blood stasis of the tumor-feeding arteries. In order to reduce the risk of complications, the embolization end point was not achieved in the initial TACE but in the second or third TACE session. After each chemoembolization, the microcatheter is reserved at the main hepatic tumor-feeding artery. The FOLFOX-based regimen is intra-arterially administered. During follow-up, the treatment of DEB-TACE and/or HAIC will be repeated for viable tumors based on the evaluation of the follow-up laboratory and imaging examination. Lenvatinib 12mg (body weight ≥60kg) or 8mg (body weight \<60kg) P.O. qd and sintilimab 200mg I.V. q3w will be started with 7 days after the first DEB-TACE+HAIC.
