A Study Comparing Immunotherapy Alone Versus Immunotherapy Combined With Radiotherapy in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) With Vascular Invasion

Официальное название

A Phase II Study of Immunotherapy With or Without Particle Beam Radiation Therapy in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Have Vascular Invasion: IOPT Study

Обзор

In the present study, we aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of concurrent therapy of Immunotherapy based combination therapy and Radiotherapy in patients with advanced HCC showing macrovascular invasion.

Вмешательства

• Лучевая терапия Particle beam radiation therapy
  The prescribed dose and fractionation for proton therapy to the PTV will be determined by the physician, taking into account the dose-volume constraints of normal tissues such as the liver and bowel.

• Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault equation)
• Documented virology status of hepatitis, as confirmed by screening tests for HBV and HCV

a. Participants with HBV or HCV infection must be treated with antiviral therapy as per institutional practice.

• Female participants of childbearing potential must agree to either remain abstinent or use effective contraception (with a failure rate of <1% per year) since signing of the informed consent form until at least 6 months after the last study drug administration.
• Male participants must agree to remain abstinent or use a condom and refrain from donating sperm since signing of the informed consent form until at least 6 months after the last study drug administration.

Критерии исключения

• Fibrolamellar carcinoma or sarcomatoid carcinoma
• Receipt of 2 or more prior systemic therapy for advanced HCC. Additional prior systemic therapies used as adjuvant or local therapy are allowed.
• Receipt of other first-line systemic therapy than immune checkpoint inhibitor-based regimen
• Receipt of prior radiation therapy to liver

a. Participants are excluded if the potential radiation field overlaps with a previously irradiated area.

• Receipt of locoregional therapy for HCC within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment or non-recovery from complications due to the procedure (radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, trans-arterial embolization including chemo- and radio-embolization, or radiation therapy).

a. A 7-day washout is permitted for palliative radiation to bone lesions

• Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, or multiple sclerosis with following exceptions:

• Patients with hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement
• Controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus and on an insulin regimen
• Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
• Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation
• Any condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment
• History of severe allergic anaphylactic reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins

• Uncontrolled severe medical comorbidities, including significant cardiovascular disease (such as New York Heart Association Class II or greater cardiac disease, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident) within 3 months prior to the initiation of study treatment, unstable arrhythmia, or unstable angina or any significant medical illness or abnormal laboratory findings that, in the investigator's judgement, would increase the risk to the participant associated with study participation
• Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female participants of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 6 months after the last study drug administration
• Judgment by the investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements
