简要总结
This is a multicenter, single arm, prospective, open-label phase II trial investigating the clinical activity of peri-interventional treatment with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab in HCC patients who are candidates for local ablation via either radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) or brachytherapy or combination of TACE with RFA, MWA or brachytherapy.
详细描述
The multimodal approach of combining peri-interventional administration of an immune checkpoint inhibitor and local ablation via RFA / MWA / brachytherapy or combination of TACE with RFA, MWA or brachytherapy harbors the potential to satisfy the unmet need for an improvement in the outcomes of HCC patients treated with RFA / MWA/ brachytherapy or combination of TACE with RFA, MWA or brachytherapy. Furthermore, early clinical data indicates that the combination of immune checkpoint inhibition with RFA, MWA or brachytherapy displays an acceptable safety profile, resulting in a positive benefit-risk ratio of this trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to RECIST 1.1
时间窗: After 6 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment
Evaluation of ORR according to RECIST 1.1 after two cycles of pembrolizumab and before performing local ablation will allow testing of the hypothesis that pre-interventional treatment with pembrolizumab before local ablation will result in conversion / downstaging of borderline candidates for local ablation. Furthermore, ORR is generally accepted as a valid endpoint for efficacy evaluation in one-armed trials without control group. Criteria used for this Outcome Measure: Percentage of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target and non-target lesions assessed by radiological imaging: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all lesions; Partial Response (PR): \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and no new non-target lesions and no progression in non-target-lesions. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
次要结局
- Time to Recurrence (TTR) According to RECIST 1.1(18 months of Follow Up)
- Recurrence Free Survival According to RECIST 1.1(18 months of Follow Up)
- Overall Survival (OS)(18 months of Follow Up)
- Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events: Number of Patients With at Least One AE Reported(Time period beginning at first administration of study drug (maximum 12 months of treatment) through 110 days after last administration, or 30 days following last administration of study drug if the participant initiates new anticancer therapy)
- Identification of Molecular Biomarkers in Tumor Tissue and Blood Samples by Immunohistochemical and Molecular Analyses in a Central Lab(9 weeks of treatment)
