    TACE will be performed for the patients after randomization. Atezolizumab/bevacizumab (1,200 mg atezolizumab plus 15 mg/kg bevacizumab intravenously every 3 weeks) will be started at 3-7 days after the first TACE.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the combination treatment of Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and I-125 Seeds Brachytherapy (TACE-AB-I) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). The investigators confirmed that the combination therapy yielded better survival data than the combined administration of Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab and TACE (TACE-AB) in patients with advanced HCC and Type I/II PVTT (Based on Cheng's PVTT classification).
    Detailed Description
    This is a multicenter, open-label trial, randomized controlled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE-AB-I compared with TACE-AB for the treatment of HCC with branch PVTT. 234 HCC patients with branch PVTT will be enrolled in this study. The Patients will be treated with TACE-AB-I or TACE-AB using a 1:1 randomization scheme. TACE will be performed for the patients after randomization. Atezolizumab/bevacizumab (1,200 mg atezolizumab plus 15 mg/kg bevacizumab intravenously every 3 weeks) will be started at 3-7 days after the first TACE and I-125 Seeds Brachytherapy and last until disease progresses, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, loss of follow-up, death, or other circumstances that require termination of treatment, whichever occurs first. For patients in the TACE-AB-I arm, iodion-125 seeds will be implanted into the PVTT (according to the pre-operative planning) under CT guidance within 3-7 days after the first TACE. TACE and iodion-125 seeds implantation can be repeated on demand during follow-up based on the evaluation of laboratory and imaging examination.

    Intervention Type
    Procedure
    Intervention Name(s)
    I-125 Seeds Brachytherapy in PVTT
    Other Intervention Name(s)
    Iodine-125 Seeds Implantation
    Intervention Description
    Iodine125 seed implantation into the PVTT was conducted 3-7 days after TACE when the results of the liver function tests were comparable to those obtained before TACE. Pre-procedural planning was conducted using a three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy treatment planning system (TPS) to determine the number of Iodine125 seeds required, the target location for implantation, the best percutaneous puncture site and the access route. The targeted zone for implantation was the tumour thrombosis in the segmental portal vein, left/right portal vein. Implantation was guided by CT, and the Iodine125 seeds were implanted into the PVTT using 18 G needles and the implantation gun that housed the Iodine125 seeds in the cartridge chamber.
