Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Antibody/Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors With or Without HAIC for Unresectable HCC With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody/tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGF/TKI-ICI) plus Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are recommended for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with PVTT in China. However, these treatments have limited survival benefit in patients with advanced HCC with PVTT. We aimed to investigate whether hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) in combination with VEGF/TKI-ICI and ICIs could improve the efficacy.
