Study Details
Study Description

Detailed Description
Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) can significantly improve the local drug concentration in liver compared to systemic chemotherapy. The efficacy of HAIC for hepatocellular (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder, and colorectal carcinoma liver metastasis has been proved by many published studies. HAIC with oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil could significantly prolong survival time for HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). Lenvatinib, as a new oral anti-neovascularity inhibitor, was proved to have similar efficacy in HCC patients compared to sorafenib in REFLECT study. The sub-group analysis showed that the median overall survival (OS) in Lenvatinib group was significantly longer that sorafenib group in Chinese HCC patients. As a programmed death-1 inhibitor, Camrelizumab showed its efficacy in advanced HCC patients as second-line therapy, with the 6-month survival rate of 74.7%, median progression-free survival (PFS) of 2.1 months, and median OS of 14.4 months. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of HAIC combined with Lenvatinib and Camrelizumab and Lenvatinib and Camrelizumab for advanced HCC with PVTT.
Total 66 subjects will be recruited in this trial, each group of 33 subjects in treatment group (HAIC-Cola group) and control group (Cola group). The primary endpoint is six-month progression-free survival rate, and the secondary endpoints are OS, overall response rate (ORR), PFS, time-to-progression (TTP) and safety. The safety evaluation will be carried out according to the standard of adverse reaction classification (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, CTCAE v5.0).
