Abstract:
Objective To compare the differences in efficacy and safety between transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)com-bined with lenvatinib and camrelizumab(triple therapy)and TACE combined with lenvatinib(double therapy)in intermediate or advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The clinical data of 145 patients who were diagnosed with HCC and received triple therapy or double therapy were retrospectively collected.The differences of objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),median progression-free survival(mPFS),median overall survival(mOS),and adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results The ORR and DCR in 1,3 and 6 months of the triple therapy group were higher than those of the double therapy group,and the differences were statistically significant in 3 and 6 months.The mPFS and mOS of the triple therapy group were higher than those of the double therapy group,and the differences were statistically significant.The Cox proportional hazards model results showed that the therapy methods,maximum tumor diameter and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)were independent risk factors of progres-sion-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS).Besides,Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer(BCLC)staging was independent risk fac-tor of OS.In terms of adverse events,the incidence of reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation(RCCEP)and hypothy-roidism in the triple therapy group were higher than those in the double therapy group,and the differences were statistically signifi-cant.Conclusion Compared with double therapy,triple therapy can significantly improve the efficacy of intermediate or advanced stage HCC,prolong patients'PFS and OS,and its safety can be well controlled.
