A Real-world Study of Immunotherapy Combination Regimens for Treating Liver Cancer in Cold Regions

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common global malignancy. In China, the disease burden is substantial: HCC ranks fifth in cancer incidence and third in mortality, with a 5-year relative survival of only 14.4%. In Northeast China's cold regions, metabolic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are prevalent and may influence HCC prognosis. Recently, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based combination regimens (with targeted therapy, chemotherapy, or locoregional treatment) have achieved major breakthroughs, significantly extending overall and progression-free survival. These regimens have become the first-line backbone for unresectable HCC. Investigating their real-world effectiveness and safety is critical for optimizing regional treatment strategies.

Who the study is looking for

  • Patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, with measurable tumor lesions.
  • Patients who have long-term residence in the cold regions of Northeast China, specifically in provinces with an annual mean temperature between 1.6°C and 10°C: Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Province, and selected cities in Liaoning Province.
