Safety and Efficacy of Lenalidomide Combined With Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Resistant to Multiple Prior Lines of Treatment: A Single-Center, Single-Arm, Prospective Exploratory Study
This is a prospective, single-arm, investigator-initiated clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide in combination with targeted therapy and immunotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have experienced disease progression after multiple lines of systemic treatment. Eligible patients must have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy, including both targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based treatment, and must have previously achieved clinical benefit from their most recent treatment regimen before developing disease progression. Participants will continue their current targeted therapy and immunotherapy regimen and receive lenalidomide as add-on treatment. The study will assess antitumor activity, survival outcomes, and treatment-related adverse events. The primary objectives are to evaluate 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) and the incidence of grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Secondary objectives include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), and overall survival (OS).
• 1. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years; 2. Clinically or pathologically diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); 3. Unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HCC; 4. Prior receipt of at least two lines of systemic antitumor therapy, with previous exposure to both targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). No restrictions are imposed on the specific targeted agents or ICIs used in combination with lenalidomide; 5. Demonstrated clinical benefit from the most recent line of dual-agent therapy, defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) lasting for at least 4 weeks, followed by radiographic progression or clinical treatment failure; 6. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1; 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-1; 8. Adequate organ function, defined as: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥60 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥80 g/L, creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), and total bilirubin ≤3 mg/dL; 9. Virological status, including hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), must be assessed. Patients who are HBsAg-positive or have a history of HBV infection must undergo hepatology evaluation and receive antiviral prophylaxis when indicated.
