About

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with more than 700,000 new cases in the world every year. China has the highest incidence and death rate of HCC in the world, accounting for 55% of the world's annual incidence and 45% of the world's annual deaths. At present, surgical resection is still one of the most effective treatments for HCC. However, the recurrence rate of tumor after hepatectomy is still very high, and the recurrence rate of 5 years is 60~70%. Especially in patients with high-risk recurrence factors, without intervention, the cumulative recurrence rate in the first year was about 50%, about 60% in the second year, about 70% in the third year, and about 80% in the fifth year. Tumor recurrence is an important bottleneck that hinders the long-term survival of patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective adjuvant therapy to reduce the postoperative recurrence rate of patients with HCC, especially high-risk patients. However, there is still a lack of standard protocols for postoperative adjuvant therapy for HCC. Here investigators intend to explore the safety and efficacy of Donafinib Combined With Anti-PD-1 Antibody as postoperative adjuvant therapy for HCC patients with high risks of recurrence.

Full description

This is a single center, open, single arm, and exploratory study. Thirty HCC patients with high risk recurrence factors after radical surgery will be enrolled. Adjuvant treatment of Donafenib combined with anti-PD-1 antibody will be given for 6 months. The primary endpoint is the cumulative percentage of patients without recurrence in the first year. The recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), tumor recurrence time (TTR), ECOG physical condition (ECOG PS) score, the changes of FACT-Hep based quality of life score, changes of AFP, and adverse events will be recorded and analyzed, to evaluated the efficacy and safety of this combination treatment.

Inclusion criteria

1)Voluntary admission and signature of written informed consent;

2)18~75 years of age (including 75 years), male and female;

3)Hepatocellular carcinoma underwent radical resection 4~8 weeks before enrolled.

4)Pathologically diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma with any of the following conditions: a)Microvascular invasion (MVI); b)Satellite nodules were found in specimens; c)Multiple tumor nodules(>3 nodules); d)Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT): The tumor thrombosis invades the left or right branches of portal vein, with or without hepatic vein invasion;

5)≥4 weeks after radical resection, the imaging examination confirmed no recurrence and metastasis.

6)Liver function Child-Pugh grade A (5~6);

8)Expected lifetime >3 months;

9)HBV DNA<10^4 copy/ ml (2000 IU/ ml); if HBV DNA ≥10^4 copy/ ml, antiviral therapy should be given, until the HBV DNA drops below 10^4Copy/ml patient can be enrolled in the study. And during the study, antiviral drugs should be continued, and liver function and hepatitis B virus load should be monitored;

10)The results of the serum pregnancy test must be negative for women with fertility (i.e. non-menopausal or surgical sterilization) within 7 days prior to the study of drug administration;

11)The main organs function normally: Blood routine examination (no transfusion, no use of G-CSF within 14 days before screening): a)Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; b)Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥1.5×10^9/L; c)Platelet count ≥75×10^9/L; Blood biochemical examination (albumin not used within 14 days before screening): d)Albumin ≥28 g/L; e)Total bilirubin ≤1.5× ULN; f)Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT )≤3× ULN; g)Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN; Coagulation function: h)The international standardized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT )≤1.5×ULN;. i)Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT )≤1.5×ULN.
