Liposomal Doxorubicin Plus Gemcitabine Versus Oxaliplatin Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LD-FOX4/HCC)

June 1, 2019 updated by: Chengcheng Liao, Guangxi Medical University

Liposomal Doxorubicin(LD) Plus Gemcitabine Versus Oxaliplatin Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin(FOLFOX4) As Palliative Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma(HCC)

The purpose of this study is to determine that Liposomal Doxorubicin(LD) plus Gemcitabine(GEM) is superior to Oxaliplatin（OXA） Plus Fluorouracil/Leucovorin(FOLFOX4) in prolonging progression-free survival（PFS） in patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Eligible patients were age 18 to 75 years;
  • The patients had histologically, cytologically,or clinically diagnosed unresectable HCC;and were ineligible for local invasive treatment. Clinically diagnosed patients had to have: (1) evidence of HBV or HCV with hepatic cirrhosis; (2) a-fetoprotein levels 400g/L; and (3) morphologic evidence of hypervascular liver tumor. Patients had to have at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST (version 1.0; ≥2 cm on computed tomography [CT]; 1 cm on spiral CT or magnetic resonance imaging). Lesions that had undergone previous interventional or local therapy were not considered measurable lesions.
  • ECOG score≤2;
  • life expectancy 3 months;
  • Barcelona Clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stage B or C disease;
  • Child-Pugh stage A or B disease;
  • Adequate organ and marrow function, with neutrophil count≥1.5X10e9/L, platelet count≥75×10e9/L, AST or ALT﹤2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin <1.5×ULN, international normalized ratio <1.5;normal baseline left ventricular ejection fraction_lower limit of normal for the institution. Patients with AST and ALT< 5 ×ULN could be recruited if total bilirubin was in the normal range.
  • Patients had to provide signed informed consent to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • documented allergy to platinum compounds or other study drugs; any previous OXA or DOX treatment, except adjuvant treatment ﹥12 months before random assignment;
  • Previous liver transplantation;
  • concomitant use of any other anticancer therapy, including interferon alfa and herbal medicine approved by the local authority to be used as anticancer medicine (except palliative radiotherapy to a nontarget lesion);
  • CNS metastasis;
  • Other serious illness or medical condition.
