Sequential T and I With H101 Via HAI for BCLC C Stage HCC: A Prospective Single-Center Single-Arm Pilot Study

Summary

Indication: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients at Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C. Study Objectives: This study aims to use a prospective single-center single-arm pilot approach to preliminarily obtain data on the recent efficacy and safety of sequential targeted and immunotherapy with recombinant human type 5 adenovirus (H101) administered via hepatic arterial infusion for BCLC stage C HCC. Additionally, it will explore changes in the patients\' immune systems before and after treatment, providing a basis for formal research. Study Content: The study will use a prospective single-center single-arm pilot design to preliminarily assess the efficacy of sequential targeted and immunotherapy with H101 via hepatic arterial infusion in BCLC stage C HCC. Primary efficacy endpoints include: Objective Response Rate (ORR). Secondary efficacy endpoints include: Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 6 months and 12 months, Overall Survival (OS) at 6 months and 12 months, Median Progression-Free Survival (mPFS), Liver-specific PFS. Additionally, the study will collect data on safety and tolerability and will explore changes in peripheral blood lymphocytes before and after treatment. Expected Objectives: Efficacy and Safety Assessment: To preliminarily gather data on the short-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sequential targeted and immunotherapy using hepatic arterial infusion of H101 in patients with BCLC stage C HCC. This includes assessing primary efficacy endpoints (e.g., objective response rate) and secondary efficacy endpoints (e.g., disease control rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, etc.). Immune System Changes: To investigate the patterns of peripheral blood lymphocyte changes before and after treatment.
