简要总结
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common disease with high mortality. More than 80% patients receive a diagnosis when their tumors are too advanced for curative approaches and have a dismal prognosis. invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cell exhibit antitumor activity against malignant tumors through producing high levels of cytokines. iNKT cells are abundant in the liver, but their function is defective in liver cancer. After expansion and restored function in vitro, iNKT cells can home to liver, then they play key antitumor function. We have finished a phase I study of adoptive transfer of autologous iNKT cells for treating patients with unresectable HCC. Safety and feasibility of iNKT infusion was proved. The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of iNKT cell infusion in patients with unresectable HCC who had previously failed transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) / transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
详细描述
Patients with unresectable HCC will be enrolled and divided into two groups. Patients in trial group will be treated with combination of TAE/TACE and adoptive transfer of autologus iNKT cells. TAE/TACE will be performed at 0th and 4th week. iNKT cells will be infused at 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th week after first TAE/TACE therapy. Patients in control group will be treated with TAE/TACE at 0th and 4th week. Overall survival (OS) time, progression-free survival (PFS) time, objective response rate(ORR), disease control rate(DCR) will be monitored.
According to JSH guidelines, TAE/TACE failure is defined as an insufficient response after ≧2 consecutive TAE/TACE procedures that is evident on response evaluation computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging after 1-3 months, these patients do not respond sufficiently to TAE/TACE.

结局指标
主要结局
Progression-Free Survival(PFS)
时间窗: From date of enrollment to disease progression according to mRECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first，approximately 2 years.
PFS is the duration from the date of enrolled into clinical trial to the date of first documentation of tumor progression. Progression is defined using Modified RECIST (mRECIST),as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of viable (enhancing) target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters of viable (enhancing) target lesions recorded since treatment started.
次要结局
- Overall Survival(OS)(From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.)
- Objective Response Rate(ORR)(Evaluation was performed at the 12th week after the start of the treatment.)
- Disease Control Rate (DCR)(Evaluation was performed at the 12th week after the start of the treatment.)
- Adverse Events(AEs)(The occurrence of AEs was observed for an average of 24 weeks after the completion of treatment (between 0-11 weeks of treatment) for up to a 60 week period in total.)
- Time to Quality of Life (QoL) Deterioration(Data will be collected at baseline and every 4 weeks until disease progression, then every 8 weeks for up to 60 weeks.)
