SBRT+TACE+Sorafenib Vs Sorafenib in the Treatment of uHCC With PVTT

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Portal Vein Thrombosis
Interventions
Radiation: SBRT+TACE+Sorafenib
Registration Number
NCT04387695
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of SBRT sequential TACE combined with sorafenib versus sorafenib alone in the treatment of unreactable HCC with PVTT.

Detailed Description

HCC Patients classified as BCLC stage C present with PVTT, and the recommended first-line treatment is systemic therapy with sorafenib according to updated Barcelona Clinical Liver cancer (BCLC) treatment algorithms.However, recent data from observational studies suggest that the combination of TACE and SBRT would be as effective as sorafenib.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survival (PFS) rateat 12 weeks after randomization

Progression is defined as progressive disease (PD) by independent radiologic review according to mRECIST criteria, termination of the assigned treatment, or death from any cause, assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test for treatment comparisons with the intention-to-treat principle.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall patient survival rateup to 2 years after randomization

The median overall patient survival rate assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test for treatment comparisons.

Radiologic response rateat 12 weeks after randomization

Radiologic response rate by independent radiologic review according to mRECIST criteria , assessed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate.

Disease control rateat 12 weeks and up to 2 years after randomization

Disease control rate by independent radiologic review according to mRECIST criteria , assessed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate.

Objective response rateat 12 weeks and up to 2 years after randomization

Objective response rate by independent radiologic review according to mRECIST criteria , assessed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate.
