TACE Combined With Sintilimab and Bevacizumab for Unresectable HCC

Prior treatment

• Patients who received prior systemic therapy, immunotherapy, TACE, transcatheter arterial radioembolization (TARE), transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) or radiation therapy for HCC
• Treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents
• Prior esophageal and/or gastric varices bleeding within 6 months prior to initiation of study treatment
• Prior life-threatening blood loss or grade 3/4 gastrointestinal bleeding requiring blood infusion, endoscopic or surgical intervention within 3 months
• Long-term daily treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
• Active severe infection; use of antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to injection of sintilimab
• underwent major surgery (craniotomy, thoracotomy or open surgery) within 4 weeks; non-recovery from side effects of these procedure
• Current or recent use of aspirin or treatment with dipyramidole, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, or cilostazol

Other illness

• Metastatic disease that involves major airways or blood vessels
• Use of herbal therapies or traditional Chinese medicines with anti-cancer activity within 2 weeks
• History of malignancy other than HCC within 5 years prior to screening, except for malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
• Untreated or incompletely treated esophageal and/or gastric varices with bleeding or high-risk for bleeding
• History of gastrointestinal (GI) perforation and/or fistula in the past 6 months
• history of GI obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection (partial colectomy or extensive small bowel resection, complicated by chronic diarrhea), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or long-term chronic diarrhea
• History of hepatic encephalopathy
• History of organ and stem cell transplantation
• Use of immunosuppressive drugs in the past 4 weeks, excluding the routes of topical glucocorticoids or physiological doses of systemic glucocorticoids (ie no more than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent). Temporary use of glucocorticoids for dyspnea symptoms such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is allowed
• History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis
• Active tuberculosis
• Autoimmune disease or immune deficiency
• Inadequately controlled hypertension; history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
• Bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy
• Serious, non-healing or dehiscing wound, active ulcer, or untreated bone fracture
• History of venous thromboembolism in the past 6 months, but implantable IV ports or catheter-derived thrombosis, superficial venous thrombosis, or thrombosis after conventional anticoagulant therapy are excluded
• uncontrolled metabolic disorder, non-malignant organ or systemic disease or secondary carcinomatous reaction, with high medical risk and/or uncertainty of life expectancy evaluation

Lab values

• Other acute or chronic diseases, mental illness, or abnormal laboratory test results that may lead to the following outcomes: increase the risk of participating in study or study drug administration, or interfere with the interpretation of the study results and considered by investigator as "NOT" eligible to participate in this study
