Tislelizumab Plus TKI as Adjuvant Therapy Versus Active Surveillance in Patients With HCC

September 22, 2023 updated by: Fanping Meng, Beijing 302 Hospital

Tislelizumab Plus Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) as Adjuvant Therapy Versus Active Surveillance in Patients With HCC at High Risk of Recurrence After Curative Ablation: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background: Ablation is important radical treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the 5-year recurrence rate of HCC after ablation is up to 80%. Early and late recurrences are more likely related to tumor size, tumor multiplicity, vascular invasion, higher serum AFP level and disease etiology, etc. Some studies suggested that adjuvant immunotherapy might be associated with decreased recurrence and prolonged RFS. Adjuvant atezolizumab + bevacizumab (IMbrave 050) showed RFS improvement following curative resection or ablation. Currently, there is limited study on immunotherapy combined with TKI as postoperative adjuvant therapy for HCC. This is an open-label, prospective cohort study to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab plus tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) as adjuvant therapy versus active surveillance in HCC patients with high risk of recurrence after curative ablation.

Exclusion Criteria:

Concurrent with other primary malignant tumors; severe coagulation dysfunction or severe thrombocytopenic purpura; There is serious infection or organ failure; have previously received targeted drugs or other PD-1 antibody therapy;

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tumor recurrence rate (DRR)
Time Frame: 52 weeks
Thoracic and abdominal enhanced MRI/CT and abdominal B-ultrasonography were performed before radical treatment, thoracic and abdominal enhanced MRI/CT and abdominal B-ultrasonography were performed after adjuvant treatment, and then thoracic and abdominal enhanced MRI/CT and abdominal B-ultrasonography were performed every 12 weeks. Tumor changes were evaluated by imaging. In addition, we will evaluate adverse events and death events: classify and grade adverse events, record the time and cause of death of patients. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.
