TACE and/or HAIC Combined With Molecular-targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy for HCC

June 15, 2026 updated by: Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University

Study of the Safety, Clinical Efficacy and Prognostic Factors of TACE and/or HAIC Combined With Molecular-targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The safety, clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and/or hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with targeted immunotherapy for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) require further in-depth study. This research aims to evaluate the safety, clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of TACE and/or HAIC combined with targeted immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

We are going to compare and analyze local tumor response, survival outcomes, prognostic factors and adverse events. Tumor response was evaluated according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) version. Adverse events were evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. This study intends to include the targeted and immunotherapy applied, mainly including: lenvatinib, sorafenib, apatinib, bevacizumab, etc.; pembrolizumab, carfilzomib, sintilimab and teprotumumab, etc.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival(OS)
Time Frame: 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year
OS was calculated as the duration from the date of the first cycle of the study combination therapy to the date of death or last date of follow-up.
1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 1-, 2-, and 3-year
PFS was defined as the duration from the date of the first cycle of the combination therapy to tumor lesion progression, death, or last follow-up, whichever came first.
1-, 2-, and 3-year
