About

The goal of this phase 2 prospective clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plus immunotherapy and targeted therapy in patients with unresectable or oligometastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The main question to answer is: Whether combing SBRT with immunotherapy and targeted therapy could prolong PFS. Participants will receive SBRT to all visible lesions and concurrent systemic immunotherapy and targeted therapy.

SBRT plus Tislelizumab and Regorafenib

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will receive SBRT (8 Gy × 3-5 fractions) to all visible lesions. Systemic treatment (tislelizumab and regorafenib) will start concurrently and last for 2 years, or until disease progression, intolerable side-effects or death. Tislelizumab will be delivered every 21 days at a dose of 200mg, and regorafenib will be given at a dose of 120mg for the first 21 days of a 28-day cycle. Appropriate dose adjustments of regorafenib will be made if side-effects are intolerable, while the dose of tislelizumab should not be adjusted, but could be paused.

Treatment:

Combination Product: SBRT plus tislelizumab and regorafenib
