The Clinical Significance of Peripheral Blood T Lymphocyte PD-1 Expression and T Cell Subset Distribution.

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06029829
Lead Sponsor
Xin-Hua Xu
Brief Summary

Providing more theoretical basis for the prediction of the efficacy of advanced HCC and helping select better advantaged population of HCC immunotherapy to maximize the benefits of patients By exploring the relationship between the changes of PD-1 expression in peripheral blood T lymphocytes and the clinical efficacy before and after the use of PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors.

Detailed Description

Exploring the expression of peripheral blood T lymphocyte PD-1 from an immunological perspective as a potential reference marker for selecting immunotherapy in advanced HCC patients, and elucidating the relationship between the level of peripheral blood T lymphocyte PD-1 expression and survival outcomes after receiving immunotherapy. Additionally, investigating whether there is consistency between the expression levels of PD-1 and PD-L1 and their impact on patients. Furthermore, exploring the correlation between the distribution of T cell subsets and the efficacy of immunotherapy to provide new theoretical evidence for the selection of target populations for immunotherapy and new clinical screening indicators for patient prognosis assessment.

PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was determined based on investigator assessment using response evaluation criteria In solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
