dTACE-HAIC Combined With Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab for Huge Hepatocellular Carcinoma

dTACE-HAIC Combined With Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab for Huge Intermediate and Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Prospective Phase II Study

This study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting transcatheter arterial embolization-hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (dTACE-HAIC) plus Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab for patients with intermediate-advanced huge hepatocellular carcinoma.

Drug-eluting transcatheter arterial embolization (dTACE) and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin are effective and safe for hepatocellular carcinoma. Atezolizumab + Bevacizumab was superior to sorafenib in overall survival in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The anti-VEGF combined programmed cell death protein-1 legend 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor were effective and tolerable in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. We aimed to describe the efficacy and safety of locoregional therapy (dTACE/HAIC) combined with Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab inhibitor in patients with huge hepatocellular carcinoma who can not receive radical therapy.
