This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy, prognosis, adverse effects, and factors for predicting therapeutic effects and clinical prognosis of combined therapy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), tyrosine kinase inhibitor/ anti-VEGF antibody, and anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 antibody for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma which initially unsuitable for the radical therapy, including resection, transplantation, or ablation. Factors are collected in preoperative routine blood examination, preoperative radiological imaging and pathological examination.
As a local interventional treatment, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has shown better efficacy and safety than traditional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of unresectable HCC. In addition, HAIC has been widely used as an alternative to sorafenib in advanced HCC in the eastern Asia. Systemic therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), as well as the combined use of anti-VEGF antibody and ICIs have shown promising results in the treatment of advanced HCC. Numerous studies have shown that combination therapy has a trend toward better tumor response rates, survival outcomes, and downstaging rate to monotherapy. This study is conducted by the by Chinese Collaborative Group of Liver Cancer (CCGLC), the Chinese Chapter of the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (CC-IHPBA). It is estimated that 300 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma will be enrolled in about 4 research centers. And it is planned to complete the enrollment within 1 year and it is expected that all enrolled subjects will reach the observation end point in 3 years.

RECRUITINGNumber of Patients Amendable to Curative Surgical Interventions
Number of patients amendable to curative surgical interventions defined as number of patients receiving curative surgical resection, transplantation, or ablation after successful down-sizing of tumor(s) by intervention.
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to the date of last treatment, an average of 3 years
overall response rate (ORR) measured by mRECIST criteria
Complete response (CR): Disappearance of any intra-tumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions; Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions; Stable disease (SD): Any cases that do not qualify for either partial response or progressive disease; Progressive disease (PD): 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. ORR=CR+PR.
Time frame: rom the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
Time to progression (TTP)
Time to progression (TTP): measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1. This does not include death from any cause.
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
Time to intrahepatic tumor progression (TTITP)
Time to intrahepatic tumor progression (TTITP): measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented intrahepatic tumor progression according to mRECIST 1.1. This does not include death from any cause.
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented intrahepatic tumor progression according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)
measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). Participants alive and without disease progression or lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of their last radiographic assessment.
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 years
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS): measured from date of first treatment to the date of death from any cause. Participants alive or lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of their last visit.
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Incidence of Study-Related Adverse Events
Incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events graded according to the United States National Cancer Institute The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE 5.0)
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to 90 days after last treatment, around 3 years and 90 days
Pathological response
Pathological response is assessed as the percentage of surface with non-viable cancer cells (represented by necrosis or fibrosis, the ultimate stage of necrosis) in relation to the total tumor area and will be equal to: 100% - viable cancer cells (%). If there are multiple tumors, the mean percentage will be used.
Time frame: from the date of first study treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Disease control rate (DCR)
Percentage of patients that had a CR, PR, or SD ≥ 6 months per mRECIST
Time frame: from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented response according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
Duration of response
Defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of disease progression (PD) or death from any cause
Time frame: from the date of first documented evidence of CR or PR to first documented sign of PD or death from any cause according to mRECIST 1.1, assessed up to 3 years
Quality of Life (QoL) after treatment
The life quality of every subject is assessed every 3 months during follow up according to the 45-item FACT-Hep questionnaire, which assesses generic HRQL concerns and disease-specific issues.
Time frame: assessed form the date of first followup to radiographically documented progression or or death from any cause, up to 3 years
