HAIC Compared With TACE in Huge Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

TACE: TACE was carried out under the guidance of digital subtraction angiography, and hepatic artery angiography was used to assess the location, number, size, and blood supply of the targeted tumor. Then a more selective microcatheter was used to vascularize the tumor. The emulsion of the selected drug and the embolization agents was therefore injected infused into tumor-feeding arteries via the selective microcatheter. A final arteriography confirmed the success of the procedure. The endpoint of the TACE procedure was reached when there was no flow in the tumor-feeding vessels.

HAIC: HAIC was carried out under the guidance of digital subtraction angiography, 990and hepatic artery angiography was used to assess the location, number, size, and blood supply of the targeted tumor. Then a more selective microcatheter was used to vascularize the tumor. The FOLFOX regimen was administered via the hepatic artery as follows: 85 or 135 mg/m2 oxaliplatin from hour 0 to 2 on day 1, and 400 mg/m2 leucovorin from hour 2 to 4 on day 1, and 400 mg/m2 fluorouracil bolus at hour 5 on the day 1; and 2400 mg/m2 fluorouracil over 46 h on days 1 and 2. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy administration of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin via the tumor feeding arteries every 4 weeks

Study summary

This study intends to compare the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemical embolization (TACE) with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for patients with intermediate-advanced huge hepatocellular carcinoma.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Objective response rate — 6 months
  ORR, as determined based on tumor response according to mRECIST, is defined as the proportion of all included patients whose best overall response (BOR) is either a complete response or partial response.
