Phase II Study of Concurrent Lenvatinib and Radiotherapy for Advanced HCC

This is a single-arm, open-label study performed at our hospital, patients with progression hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) met inclusion criteria will be enrolled. Patients received oral lenvatinib 12mg/day (for patients≥60 kg) or 8 mg/day (for patients<60kg ) before local radiotherapy 4 weeks, large lesions were treated with IMRT for 40-60gy / 20-30f. Combined therapy will be taken until unacceptable treatment-related toxicities occurred or disease progression.

Treatment and study plan

concurrent lenvatinib and Radiotherapy, followed lenvatinib maintenance

Radiation

Radiotherapy with IMRT or VMAT with 40-60Gy/20-30f; Concurrent Lenvatinib 12mg/day (for patients≥60 kg) or 8 mg/day (for patients<60kg ) qd po. (Note: Levatinib can be given to patients in four weeks before Radiotherapy is applied, so that it can control disease during waiting for Radiotherapy). Maintenance Lenvatinib 12mg/day (for patients≥60 kg) or 8 mg/day (for patients<60kg ) qd po until disease progress or unacceptable adverse events; six months is recommended but not mandatory.

Primary outcomes

  1. MST

    Time frame: 24 months

    Median Survival Time (MST) was defined as the duration from the date of patient recruited to the date of death from any cause

Secondary outcomes

  1. ORR

    Time frame: Assessment in 1 to 3 months after radiotherapy

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the total of CR (Complete Response) and PR (Partial Response). CR and PR were assessed by independent reviewers according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. ORR evaluated in 1 to 3 months after the completion of radiotherapy.

  2. TTP

    Time frame: 24 months

    Time to Progression (TTP) was defined as the duration from the date of patient recruited to the first progress at any site or the date of death

  3. Rate of III-IV grade adverse events

    Time frame: up to 24 months

    Adverse events was evaluated during received protocol therapy according to CTCAE 4.03
