Abstract
Aims: Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed showed a promising response rate in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a phase 2 trial. Here, we report the updated 3-year survival data after enrollment.
Methods: In this prospective trial, we enrolled patients with intermediate and advanced unresectable HCC. The treatment was HAIC with raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin.
Results: The objective responses were achieved in 19 (48.7%) of 39 patients in the intention-to-treat population. The median overall survival and progress-free survival were 11.2 and 6.5 months, respectively.
Conclusion: The 3-year survival update confirmed the antitumor activity and long-term survival benefit of HAIC with oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed in patients with unresectable HCC.
Clinical trial registration: www.chictr.org.cn identifier is ChiCTR-OOC-17014182.
期刊介绍:
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and the third most common cause of death from malignant disease. Traditionally more common in developing countries, hepatocellular carcinoma is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Western world, primarily due to an increase in hepatitis C virus infection. Emerging risk factors, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity are also of concern for the future. In addition, metastatic tumors of the liver are more common than primary disease. Some studies report hepatic metastases in as many as 40 to 50% of adult patients with extrahepatic primary tumors. Hepatic Oncology publishes original research studies and reviews addressing preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to all types of cancer of the liver, in both the adult and pediatric populations. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Hepatic Oncology provides a forum to report and debate all aspects of cancer of the liver and bile ducts. The journal publishes original research studies, full reviews and commentaries, with all articles subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
