Lenvatinib Plus PD-1 Antibody Versus Lenvtinib Alone for Advanced HCC

Phase 3
Withdrawn
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Drug: PD-1 antibody
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03744247
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib combined with PD-1 antibody compared with lenvtinib Alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Detailed Description

Lenvatinib was non-inferior to sorafenib in overall survival in untreated advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and PD-1 antibody was effective and tolerable in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. No study has compared the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus PD-1 antibody and lenvatinib alone. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective randomized control study to find out it.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)12 months

OS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. Participants who were lost to follow-up were censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive, and participants who remained alive were censored at the time of data cutoff.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression Free Survival (PFS)12 months

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression based on modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), or date of death, whichever occurred first.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)12 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on mRECIST. CR was defined as disappearance of any intratumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement of arterial phase) target lesions taking as reference to the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions.

Adverse Events30 days

Number of adverse events. Postoperative adverse events were graded based on CTCAE v4.03

Time to Progression (TTP)12 months

TTP was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression based on mRECIST.
