Brief Summary:
This is a single-arm phase II clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of concurrent sorafenib and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein or hepatic vein tumor thrombosis or lymph node involved. Eligibility patients will receive IMRT to hepatic primary tumor, vein tumor thrombosis, and metastasis lymph node with concurrently sorafenib with a dose of 400mg twice daily. Prescription of IMRT will be a conventional fraction dose of 2Gy to a total dose of 40 to 60Gy. Sorafenib will be maintained with a dose of 400mg twice daily after IMRT until disease progression, or unacceptable adverse events. Six months of sorafenib maintenance is recommended.
Detailed Description:
With the clinical application of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), radiotherapy (RT) has shown important role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Meta-analysis has demonstrated that transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined RT was more therapeutically beneficial than TACE alone. Especially for advanced disease with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), or hepatic vein tumor thrombosis, or lymph node involved, RT was more effective than other treatment methods. Previous studies had showed that RT could receive response rate of 50% to 60% for HCC with PVTT. But for those patients, high accidence of out RT field failure of liver and distance metastasis was found. Effective systemic therapy was necessary to advanced HCC. Based on two phase III trials, sorafenib was recommended as systemic therapy to advanced HCC. But tumor response rate of sorafenib alone was only 2.3-3% by RICIST criteria. More than half of patients was received survival benefit by maintaining in stable disease. It is feasible to improve survival by combining IMRT and sorafenib for advanced HCC with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), or hepatic vein tumor thrombosis, or lymph node involved. In addition, it was demonstrated that sorafenib could potentiate irradiation in HCC cell lines through inhibiting radiation-induced proliferation and DNA repair and promoting radiation-induced apoptosis.
