Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, prospective and randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC compared with Len+DEB-TACE for unresectable large HCC (\>7cm) with PVTT.

178 patients with large HCC (\> 7cm) and PVTT will be enrolled in this study. The patients will receive either Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC or Len+DEB-TACE using an 1:1 randomization scheme. In the Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC arm, the microcatheter will be reserved at the main hepatic tumor-feeding artery after DEB-TACE and chemotherapy drugs (oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin; FOLFOX-based regimen) will be intra-arterially administered though the microcatheter. DEB-TACE+HAIC treatments can be repeated based on the evaluation of follow-up laboratory and imaging examination by the multidisciplinary team. In the Len+DEB-TACE arm, patients will be treated with DEB-TACE alone. TACE treatment can be repeated based on the evaluation of follow-up laboratory and imaging examination by the multidisciplinary team. In both arms, lenvatinib 12mg (body weight ≥60kg) or 8mg (body weight \<60kg) P.O. qd will be started within 7 days after the first DEB-TACE+HAIC/DEB-TACE.

The primary end point of this study is time to progression (TTP). The secondary endpoints are tumor response (objective response rate and disease control rate), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC

Patients will receive the combination treatment of Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Len+DEB-TACE+HAIC

Intervention Type 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 will be started with 7 days after the first DEB-TACE+HAIC.

Len+DEB-TACE

Patients will receive the combination treatment of Len+DEB-TACE.
