A Real-world Study of Immunotherapy Combination Regimens for Treating Liver Cancer in Cold Regions

8 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Yingjian Liang, Harbin Medical University
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common global malignancy. In China, the disease burden is substantial: HCC ranks fifth in cancer incidence and third in mortality, with a 5-year relative survival of only 14.4%. In Northeast China's cold regions, metabolic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are prevalent and may influence HCC prognosis. Recently, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based combination regimens (with targeted therapy, chemotherapy, or locoregional treatment) have achieved major breakthroughs, significantly extending overall and progression-free survival. These regimens have become the first-line backbone for unresectable HCC. Investigating their real-world effectiveness and safety is critical for optimizing regional treatment strategies.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

This open-label, multicenter, retrospective real-world study aims to enroll 1000 patients with confirmed HCC, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or mixed cell carcinoma who have long-term residence in Northeast China (annual mean temperature 1.6°C-10°C) and have received immune-based combination therapy. Patient data will be retrospectively collected from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2025. Based on treatment stage, patients will be assigned to 1 of 4 cohorts: perioperative (neoadjuvant/adjuvant), locoregional therapy, first-line advanced, or later-line advanced. This noninterventional study does not alter routine clinical practice; data are derived from medical records. The primary objective is to evaluate real-world effectiveness and safety of immune-based combinations. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (rwORR), progression-free survival (rwPFS), disease control rate (rwDCR), duration of response (rwDOR), and safety (AE, SAE, irAE rates). The findings aim to provide real-world evidence for immunotherapy in HCC across Northeast China.
