Clinical Trial Summary

The IMMUTACE study evaluates the safety and the efficacy of the anti-programmed-death-1 antibody (anti-PD-1) nivolumab in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with multinodular, intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as first line therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal and prevalent cancers worldwide. The prognosis of patients with HCC is dismal and the mortality rates are almost the same as the incidence rates. The transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is commonly used to act locally in the intermediate disease stage and is the most common first-line treatment in patients with HCC. Early randomized trials and more recent reviews and meta-analyses reported improved survival rates of patients with unresectable lesions managed with TACE so that TACE has been accepted as the standard treatment for intermediate stage disease. However, outcome of patients treated with TACE in real-life cohorts is still very poor with median overall survival (OS) of 20 months or less. In order to increase the outcome of TACE, several trials have analyzed the combination of TACE with sorafenib and other anti-angiogenic agents. However, none of the trials have reported an improved overall survival for patients treated with the combination of TACE and sorafenib. Early clinical data already support a safe combination of immune checkpoint inhibition with TACE. Moreover, preliminary data from the CheckMate-040 trial strongly suggest that nivolumab has clinical activity and is tolerable in patients with HCC, including those with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TACE in combination with nivolumab in patients with intermediate stage HCC. ;
