Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy Plus Donafenib in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Surgery

This is an open-label,multi-center ,non-randomized ,single arm exploratory study . This clinical study is an investigator-initiated clinical trial(IIT ). The objective of this study is to evaluate if the addition of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and Donafenib after curative resection for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with a solitary tumor≥5 cm and microvascular invasion (MVI) will prevent or delay the recurrence of the disease.

Treatment and study plan

Procedure

administration of Oxaliplatin , fluorouracil, and leucovorin via the tumor feeding arteries

Other names: HAIC

Folfox Protocol

Oxaliplatin , fluorouracil, and leucovorin

Other names: Oxaliplatin , fluorouracil, and leucovorin

Donafenib

Drug

administration of Donafenib

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year cumulative recurrence-free survival rate

    Time frame: 2-year

    This is defined as the length of time (days) that the patient survives since study registration without any signs or symptoms of locoregional HCC assessed by structured clinical and radiological (clinical) follow-up . If at close-out date of the study, there are no signs of locoregional recurrence, the patient will be censored to the date of the most recent follow-up examination. The 2-year cumulative incidence rates will be estimated from the curves and its associated 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 1-year recurrence-free survival rate

    Time frame: 1-year

    This is defined as the length of time (days) that the patient survives since study registration without any signs or symptoms of locoregional HCC assessed by structured clinical and radiological (clinical) follow-up . If at close-out date of the study, there are no signs of locoregional recurrence, the patient will be censored to the date of the most recent follow-up examination. The 1-year cumulative incidence rates will be estimated from the curves and its associated 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.

  2. Disease-free survival

    Time frame: 2-year

    from the date of enrollment to tumor recurrence or Death

  3. Overall Survival

    Time frame: approximately 60 months from first patient first visit

    from the date of enrollment to Death

  4. Adverse Events

    Time frame: 30 days

    Number of adverse events. Postoperative adverse events were graded based on CTCAE v5.0
