Objective: Although the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (A+B) shows promise for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its response rate is still inadequate. Previous studies indicate that the integration of FOLFOX-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is advantageous for the management of HCC. This meta-analysis aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the A+B+TACE or HAIC therapy protocol in patients with advanced HCC.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein to albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with transcatheter intra-arterial therapy combined with molecular targeted agents (MTAs) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors.

Methods: Medical records of 271 consecutive patients with HCC receiving this combination therapy in China between 2019 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.

T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing provides a novel platform for insight into and characterization of intricate T-cell profiles, advancing the understanding of tumor immune heterogeneity. Recently, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with systemic therapy has become the recommended regimen for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The regulation of the immune microenvironment after TACE and its impact on tumor progression and recurrence has been a focus of research.

Background: Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is standard of care for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma that is amenable to embolisation; however, median progression-free survival is still approximately 7 months. We aimed to assess whether adding durvalumab, with or without bevacizumab, might improve progression-free survival.

Methods: In this multiregional, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study (EMERALD-1), adults aged 18 years or older with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma amenable to embolisation, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 at enrolment, and at least one measurable intrahepatic lesion per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) were enrolled at 157 medical sites including research centres and general and specialist hospitals in 18 countries.

Article Synopsis
  • TACE is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of adding lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to TACE compared to a placebo.
  • The multicenter, randomised, double-blind phase 3 study (LEAP-012) involved participants from 137 sites across 33 countries who were randomly assigned to receive either TACE with the new drugs or TACE with a placebo.
  • The primary endpoints were progression-free survival and overall survival, and the results reported are from the first interim analysis, which serves as the final analysis for progression-free survival.
