- Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be included:
- Participants must voluntarily agree to participate in the study and provide written informed consent, be compliant, and agree to follow-up.
- Participants must be between 18 and 80 years old, regardless of gender, at the time of signing the informed consent form.
- Participants must be diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma by imaging (according to AASLD criteria or the 2022 National Health Commission Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Cancer) or histological or cytological examination.
- Patients with advanced liver cancer: patients who are in BCLC stage C or B and are eligible for TACE treatment.
- Participants must not have received systemic treatment.
- There must be at least one measurable lesion (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, the measurable lesion must have a spiral CT scan long diameter ≥10 mm or an enlarged lymph node short diameter ≥15 mm).
- ECOG performance status must be 0-1 point within 1 week before enrollment.
- Child-Pugh liver function grade: Class A (5-6 points).
- Expected survival time ≥3 months.
- Active hepatitis B or C patients must receive relevant antiviral treatment, with HBV-DNA <2500 IU/mL (<105 copies/mL) and have received antiviral treatment for at least 14 days before participating in the study. HCV RNA-positive patients must be treated according to local standard treatment guidelines and have liver function increased no more than Grade 1 in CTCAE during treatment.
- Hematological and organ function must be adequate, based on laboratory test results obtained within 14 days before starting the study treatment, unless otherwise specified:
Complete blood count: (not transfused, not treated with G-CSF or drugs for correction) white blood cell count ≥ 3.0 x 109/L, Hb ≥ 90 g/L, neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, and platelet count ≥ 60 × 109/L.
- Biochemical tests: (not given albumin in the last 14 days)
- Appropriate liver function: ALB ≥ 29 g/L, ALP, ALT, and AST <5 × ULN, TBIL ≤ 3 × ULN, and PT prolongation time no more than 6s of ULN
- Appropriate renal function: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance (CCr) >50 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault formula):
Female: CrCl = ((140 - age) × body weight (kg) × 0.85) / 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL) Male: CrCl = ((140 - age) × body weight (kg) × 1.00) / 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL)
• Women of childbearing potential: must agree to abstain from sexual activity or use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% for at least 6 months during the treatment period and after the last dose.
If a female patient has menstruated and has not yet reached postmenopausal status (no menstrual periods for ≥12 months continuously, and no other causes for menopause except surgical sterilization), and has not undergone sterilization surgery (removal of the ovaries and/or uterus), she is considered to be of childbearing potential.
- Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have one or more of the following:
- Suitable for surgical treatment;
- Already underwent radical surgery with no assessable lesions;
- A history of liver transplantation or are preparing for liver transplantation.
- ECOG score ≥ 2 points.
- History of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Patients who have received systemic treatment in the past.
- Histological types of cholangiocarcinoma, sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma, mixed cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
- Pregnant (positive pregnancy test before medication) or lactating women. Known allergy or intolerance to recombinant humanized PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs or lenvatinib and its components (or any excipient).
- Received local anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks before the first study drug treatment, including but not limited to surgery, radiotherapy, hepatic artery embolization, TACE, hepatic artery infusion, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, or percutaneous ethanol injection (palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases at least 2 weeks before study drug treatment is allowed);
- Past or current grade 3 or above digestive fistula or non-digestive fistula (such as skin) according to the CTCAE 5.0 standard.
- Various factors affecting oral administration of lenvatinib, such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction, or other conditions that significantly affect drug intake and absorption.
- Clinically significant ascites (i.e., Child-Pugh score for ascites>2) or malignant ascites that require therapeutic abdominal paracentesis or drainage; or uncontrolled malignant ascites (as determined by the investigator) that cannot be controlled by diuretics or puncture.
- Major surgery (except biopsy) performed within 4 weeks before the first study drug treatment or surgical incision that has not completely healed; minor surgery (such as simple excision, biopsy, etc.) within 7 days before the first study intervention.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to acute myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association classification ≥2, see Appendix 4); arrhythmia requiring antiarrhythmic drugs (other than beta blockers or digoxin) for treatment; repeat electrocardiogram showing QTcF interval > 480 milliseconds (ms).
- Hepatic or renal dysfunction, such as jaundice, ascites, and/or bilirubin > 3 × ULN, creatinine ratio > 3.5 g/24 hours, or renal failure requiring blood or peritoneal dialysis. Urinalysis showing urinary protein ≥++ or confirmed 24-hour urinary protein quantification> 1.0g.
- Persistent infection of grade >2 (CTC-AE 5.0) in the past 6 months.
