简要总结

This is a randomized, controlled, phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of ablation followed by tislelizumab versus ablation alone in patients with early recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.

详细描述

Ablation is one of the main treatments for early recurrent HCC, and its immune stimulation is expected to improve the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Tislelizumab is a new immunotherapy agent with independent intellectual property rights in China, which is highly efficient and safe. It is of great value to combine Tislelizumab with ablation to reduce the risk of recurrence in HCC patients. In this study, early-stage HCC patients with high risk of recurrence would be included and randomly assigned to receive ablation plus Tislelizumab or ablation alone. The tumor recurrence, overall survival and safety would be observed and recorded to analyze whether Tislelizumab can reduce the recurrence rate.

入选标准

  • Pathological diagnosed HCC.
  • The recurrent lesions should meet the diagnostic and staging criteria of the Barcelona liver cancer clinical system (BCLC) recommended by the American Association of liver Diseases and the European Association of liver Diseases (AASLD/EASL). The specific diagnostic criteria for HCC are as follows:
  • I. Intrahepatic lesions ≥ 1cm, with typical HCC findings in dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MRI, that is, enhancement in arterial phase or decreased enhancement in portal phase.
  • II. Intrahepatic lesions ≥ 1cm without typical imaging findings, the biopsy can be performed.
  • III. Intrahepatic lesions < 1cm, ultrasound follow-up every 4 months, if the enlargement exceeds 1cm, then refer to standard I or II.
  • If the intrahepatic recurrent lesions are diagnosed by the above criteria, BCLC-0/A stage can be performed as follows:
  • I. BCLC-0: single lesion < 2cm, Child-Pugh A (without ascites), and ECOG-PS
  • II.BCLC-A: single lesion ≥ 2cm, Child-Pugh A (without ascites), and ECOG-PS
  • III.BCLC-A stage: 2-3 lesions but all are less than 3cm. Child-Pugh A (without ascites), and ECOG-PS
  • The recurrence time of HCC should be between 3 and 12 months.
  • Patients with recurrent HCC lesions should meet the indications of ablation treatment, as follows:
  • I. Single lesion ≤ 5 cm; or. II. 2-3 lesions, all are less than 3cm; and. III. The location of the above lesions should be far away from the dangerous sites.
  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 months.
  • The laboratory test shall be completed within 7 days before the screening and the following criteria shall be met: I. Adequate hematologic function:
  • WBC ≥ 2.0 x 109/L (stable, off any growth factor within 4 weeks of study drug administration)
  • Neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (stable, off any growth factor within 4 weeks of study drug administration)
  • Platelets ≥ 60 x 109/L (transfusion to achieve this level is not permitted)
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L (may be transfused to meet this requirement)
  • II. Adequate hepatic function:
  • Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) < 8 X ULN
  • Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) < 8 X ULN
  • Serum total bilirubin < 3 mg/dL
  • Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL
  • III. Adequate coagulation function:
  • a)Prothrombin time (PT)-international normalized ratio (INR)≤ 2.3 or PT < 6 seconds above control
  • IV. Adequate renal function:
  • Creatinine Crack >40 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula) a serum creatinine of < 1.5 × ULN

排除标准

  • With vascular invasion and extrahepatic metastases.
  • General condition
  • Patients with cardiac pacemaker implantation.
  • Any history of hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Any prior (within 1 year) or current clinically significant ascites as measured by physical examination and that requires active paracentesis for control.

  • Subjects with any active autoimmune disease or history of known or suspected autoimmune disease except for subjects with vitiligo, resolved childhood asthma/atopy, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll.

  • Prior organ allograft or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
  • All toxicities attributed to prior anti-cancer therapy other than neuropathy, alopecia and fatigue must have resolved to Grade 1 (NCI CTCAE version 5.0) or baseline before administration of study drug. Subjects with toxicities attributed to prior anti-cancer therapy which are not expected to resolve and result in long lasting sequelae are permitted to enroll.
