Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with the anti-angiogenic targeted drugs and ginsenoside Rg3 versus TACE alone in patients with unresectable Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B/C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), who has normal liver function and no extrahepatic metastasis.
Detailed Description:
TACE is widely used in patients with unresectable HCC, which has been proved to significantly improve the survival time by the results from some randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses. However, due to the different blood supply characteristics and biological heterogeneity in HCC nodules, the therapeutic effect of TACE is limited, and which is still considered as a non-radical treatment. Furthermore, vascular embolization by TACE may result in hypoxia in tumor tissue, which will induce increased secretion of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumor angiogenesis, promote proliferation of residual tumor cells, and enhance tumor invasive and metastasis. Accordingly, the effectiveness of TACE is still unsatisfying as a single treatment for HCC.
Both anti-angiogenic targeted drugs and ginsenoside Rg3 have showed synergistic effect with TACE in patients with unresectable HCC. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anti-angiogenic targeted drugs and ginsenoside Rg3 plus TACE comparing to TACE alone in patients with unresectable HCC.
