Clinical observation of HAIC-FOLFOX combined with camrelizumab in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
To investigate the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy based on the oxaliplatin and fluorouracil drug combination (HAIC-FOLFOX) combined with camrelizumab in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODS
2
The data of 222 unresectable HCC patients hospitalized at Liaoning Cancer Hospital
&
Institute from January 1, 2021 to March 1, 2023 were retrospectively collected. Based on treatment regimens, patients we
re divided into a control group (HAIC-FOLFOX+sorafenib,
n
=117) and an observation group (HAIC-FOLFOX+camrelizumab,
n
=105). Short-term efficacy indicators [objective remission rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR)
]
and long-term efficacy indicators [median overall survival (mOS) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) within one year
]
after 4 cycles of treatment, the levels of tumor markers (alpha fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9), immune function indicators (CD3
+
, CD4
+
, and CD8
+
T-cell subsets) before treatment and after 4 cycles of treatment, as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions, were compared between two groups.
RESULTS
2
The ORR of the observation group was 55.24%, which was significantly higher than 35.90% of the control group (
P
<0.05); while there was no statistically significant difference in DCR between the two groups (
P>
0.05). The mOS and mPFS within 1 year of the observation group (15.33, 10.83 months) were significantly longer than the control group (11.34, 8.04 months) (
P
<0.05). After 4 cycles of treatment, tumor marker levels of the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the proportions of CD3
+
and CD4
+
T cells were significantly higher than before treatment (
P
<0.05). Above indexes of the observation group were significantly better than the control group at the same time (
P
<0.05). The proportions of patients in the observation group who developed grade 1-3 immune-related pneumonia and capillary proliferation were significantly higher than the control group (
P
<0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in the proportions of patients experiencing grade 1-3 adverse reactions such as fever, fatigue and rash between two groups (
P
>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
2
Compared with HAIC-FOLFOX combined with sorafenib, HAIC-FOLFOX combined with camrelizumab can significantly improve the ORR, prolong mOS and mPFS within 1 year, effectively reduce tumor marker levels, and improve certain immune function indicators in patients with unresectable HCC, but it increases the risk of immune-related adverse events.
