Neoadjuvant HAIC and PD-1 Plus Adjuvant PD-1 for High-risk Recurrent HCC
Is NCT06467799 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies Neoadjuvant HAIC and PD-1 Plus Adjuvant PD-1 for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Treatment: Neoadjuvant HAIC and PD-1 Plus Adjuvant PD-1 — Surgical resection is the primary curative treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a 5-year overall survival rate of 60-80% post-surgery. Therefore, guidelines recommend surgical resection as the first-line choice for early to mid-stage HCC (CNLC stages IA-IIA or BCLC stages A/B) patients with well liver reserve function. However, the high postoperative recurrence rate is the main factor limiting long-term survival in HCC patients, with literature reporting recurrence rates exceeding 70%. Among these, half of the patients experience recurrence within two years post-surgery, imposing a heavy burden on patients' physical and mental health as well as on societal medical resources. Adopting effective treatment to improve surgical curability and reduce postoperative recurrence rates is one of the current research hotspots. Recent studies from the investigators' center indicate that hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and immunotherapy can provide definite efficacy for patients with advanced HCC, extending their survival time. Mechanistically, chemotherapy and immunotherapy have synergistic effects: tumor cell necrosis induced by chemotherapy can promote immune activation, while cytokines and neutralizing antibodies secreted by immune cells can enhance the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study, targeting HCC patients with high-risk recurrence factors, to evaluate whether neoadjuvant HAIC combined with a PD-1 monoclonal antibody (Tislelizumab) followed by adjuvant Tislelizumab post-surgery can reduce postoperative recurrence rates in HCC patients. The primary endpoint is the 1-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate post-surgery, while secondary endpoints include the objective response rate (ORR) of neoadjuvant therapy, the incidence of perioperative complications, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events, overall survival (OS) time, pathological complete response (pCR) rate of neoadjuvant therapy, and major pathological response (MPR) of neoadjuvant therapy. The investigators aim to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant HAIC plus PD-1 and adjuvant PD-1 in the perioperative treatment of HCC.
