Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 3 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Exceptions: Subjects with vitiligo, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus type I or resolved childhood asthma/atopy are an exception to this rule. Subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Subjects with Hashimoto thyroiditis, hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or psoriasis not requiring treatment are not excluded from the study.
    9. Live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of Sintilimab treatment or during study treatment.
    10. History or clinical evidence of Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases Exceptions are: Subjects who have completed local therapy and who meet both of the following criteria: I. are asymptomatic and II. have no requirement for steroids 6 weeks prior to start of Sintilimab treatment. Screening with CNS imaging (CT or MRI) is required only if clinically indicated or if the subject has a history of CNS
  • Medication that is known to interfere with any of the agents applied in the trial.
  • Any other efficacious cancer treatment except protocol specified treatment at study start.
  • Patient has received any other investigational product within 28 days of study entry.
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male/female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control (failure rate of less than 1% per year). [Acceptable methods of contraception are: implants, injectable contraceptives, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine pessars (only hormonal devices), sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner]. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (serum β-HCG) at screening.
  • Patient with any significant history of non-compliance to medical regimens or with inability to grant reliable informed consent.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Sintilimab plus lenvatinib for patients with unresectable liver metastasis, who had progressed after, or were refractory to first- or later-line therapy.
Detailed Description
Recent studies have suggested that local destruction of tumor tissue by cryoablation induced activation and maturation of dendritic cells and tumor-specific T cells by cross-presentation of tumor antigens. While pd-1 blocking antibody interferes with PD-1 mediated T-cell regulatory signaling. And combination of pd-1 blocking antibody plus lenvatinib showed increased ORR in many type of solid tumors. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Sintilimab plus lenvatinib in previously treated unresectable liver metastasis from solid tumors.
