About

This is an open-label, single-arm clinical study to preliminarily observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin synchronous combined with Bevacizumab and Toripalimab as the first-line therapy for advanced HCC.

Full description

Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin was effective and safe for hepatocellular carcinoma. Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis Inhibitors was effectively used for hepatocelluar carcinama (HCC) therapy. Toripalimab, an programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody, was effective and tolerable in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus. No study has evaluated HAIC plus Bevacizumab and Toripalimab. Thus, the investigators carried out this prospective, single-arm study to find out it.
