Brief Title: DEB-TACE+HAIC vs. HAIC for Large HCC
Official Title: Transarterial Chemoembolization With Drug-eluting Beads Plus Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Versus Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy Alone for Large Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT05263219
Brief Summary: This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) plus hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) compared with HAIC alone for unresectable large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Detailed Description: This is a multicenter, prospective and randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE (with CalliSpheres) plus HAIC compared with HAIC alone for unresectable large HCC (\>7cm). 230 patients with initially unresectable large HCC (\> 7cm) will be enrolled in this study. The patients will receive either DEB-TACE plus HAIC (dTACE-HAIC) or HAIC as the primary treatment using an 1:1 randomization scheme. In the dTACE-HAIC arm, the microcatheter will be reserved at the proper/left/right hepatic artery and chemotherapy drugs (FOLFOX-based regimen) will be intra-arterially administered though the microcatheter. The treatment can be repeated on demand (at a 4-6-week interval usually) based on the evaluation of follow-up laboratory and imaging examination by the multidisciplinary team. In the HAIC arm, treatment will repeated once every 3 weeks for up to six cycles. During follow-up, the potential resectability of the tumor will be assessed by the multidisciplinary team (MDT). Once the tumors become resectable, curative surgical resection will be recommended for the patients. The primary end point of this study is overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints are tumor response (objective response rate and disease control rate), success rate of conversion to resection, progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events (AEs).
