Abstract
Introduction and Objectives
We initiated this study to explore the efficacy of camrelizumab combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus sorafenib or lenvatinib versus TACE plus sorafenib or Lenvatinib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Materials and Methods
From June 2019 to November 2022, 127 advanced HCC patients were retrospectively analyzed in this study. This consisted of 44 patients that received camrelizumab plus TACE plus sorafenib or lenvatinib (triple therapy group) and 83 patients that received TACE plus sorafenib or lenvatinib (double treatment group). The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) were compared between the two patient groups.
Results
Our findings demonstrated that patients received the triple therapy exhibited superior median OS (15.8 vs. 10.3 months, P=0.0011) and median PFS (7.2 vs. 5.2 months, P=0.019) compared to the double treatment group. In addition, the triple therapy group exhibited better 6-month (93.5% vs. 66.3%), 12-month (67.2% vs. 36.3%), and 24-month (17.2% vs. 7.6%) survival rates than the double treatment group. However, the ORR (43.2% vs. 28.9%, P = 0.106) and DCR (93.2% vs. 81.9%, P = 0.084) of the two groups were similar. Subgroup analysis showed that compared with the double treatment group, the triple therapy group had a better mOS for HCC with HBV (15.8 vs. 9.6 months, P = 0.0015) and tumor diameter ≥ 5cm (15.3 vs. 9.6 months, P = 0.00055).
Conclusions
Camrelizumab plus TACE and sorafenib or lenvatinib may be a promising treatment approach for the clinical management of unresectable HCC patients.
