Lenvatinib Combined With Yttrium-90 Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) Versus Lenvatinib Alone in TACE-Refractory Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Prospective Non-Randomized Controlled Study
This study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus SIRT (LEN+SIRT) compared with lenvatinib (LEN) alone for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) refractory to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
• Pathologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed HCC
• Diagnosis of HCC with TACE refractoriness according to the criteria proposed by Japan Society of Hepatology (2021)
• Patients who have Tumor recurrence after surgical resection or ablation are allowed to be included
• At least one measurable intrahepatic target lesion
• Child-Pugh class A/B
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
• Tumor extent \<70% liver occupation
• Candidates for SIRT must be confirmed suitable for SIRT after evaluation (including SPECT/CT evaluation after arterial perfusion with 99Tc-MAA)
• Adequate organ and hematologic function with platelet count ≥50×10\^9/L, leukocyte \>3.0×10\^9/L, Neutrophil count ≥1.5×10\^9/L, haemoglobin ≥85 g/L, ALT and AST≤5×ULN, albumin ≥28 g/L, total bilirubin ≤3× ULN, creatinine≤1.5×ULN, and prolongation of prothrombin time ≤4 seconds
• Life expectancy of at least 3 months
