PEARL Trial: Partial TACE Enhancing Anti-tumor Response With Lenvatinib in Unresectable HCC (Pearl)

14 september 2026 bijgewerkt door: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial. Patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are eligible for lenvatinib treatment will receive partial transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) targeting up to two liver segments containing the largest tumor volume or lesions at risk of rupture, in combination with standard lenvatinib therapy. The partial TACE approach is designed as a liver-function-sparing technique that limits ischemic territory while preserving hepatic reserve.

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Primary objective:

-1-year progression-free survival (PFS) by mRECIST

Secondary objectives:

  • 1-year overall survival (OS)
  • Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST
  • Incidence of hepatic decompensation within 30 days after treatment (defined as: bilirubin > 3 mg/dL, new or worsened ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy)
  • Duration of response (DOR)

Exploratory Endpoints:

  • Depth of response (DpR)
  • Immune profile changes from baseline (assessed by multiparametric flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing)

Experimenteel: Partial TACE Enhancing Anti-tumor Response with Lenvatinib in unresectable HCC

Lenvatinib: Oral administration at 12 mg once daily (body weight ≥ 60 kg) or 8 mg once daily (body weight < 60 kg). Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal.

Partial TACE:

Performed within 4 weeks after starting lenvatinib.

Oral lenvatinib 12 mg once daily for body weight 60 kg or greater, or 8 mg once daily for body weight less than 60 kg. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal.
Transarterial chemoembolization targeting up to two liver segments containing the largest tumor volume or lesions at risk of rupture, performed within 4 weeks after starting lenvatinib. This liver-function-sparing approach limits the ischemic territory in order to preserve hepatic reserve.

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
1-year progression-free survival (PFS) by mRECIST
Tijdsspanne: 1 year after start of study treatment
Percentage of participants alive and free of disease progression at 1 year. Progression-free survival is measured from the start date of study treatment to the date of first documented disease progression according to modified RECIST (mRECIST) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
1 year after start of study treatment

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
1-year overall survival (OS)
Tijdsspanne: 1 year after start of study treatment
Percentage of participants alive at 1 year. Overall survival is measured from the start date of study treatment to the date of death from any cause.
1 year after start of study treatment
Objective response rate (ORR) by mRECIST
Tijdsspanne: Up to 12 months after start of study treatment
Percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response or partial response, as assessed by modified RECIST (mRECIST).

Objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1
Tijdsspanne: Up to 12 months after start of study treatment
Percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response or partial response, as assessed by RECIST version 1.1. Tumor response is assessed by CT or MRI every 12 weeks from the start of study treatment; a first objective response is confirmed by a second imaging assessment 4 weeks later.
Up to 12 months after start of study treatment
Disease control rate (DCR) by mRECIST
Tijdsspanne: Up to 12 months after start of study treatment
Percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response, partial response, or stable disease, as assessed by modified RECIST (mRECIST). Tumor response is assessed by CT or MRI every 12 weeks from the start of study treatment.
