About this study
Official title: An Exploratory Study of Sorafenib Plus Toripalimab for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
Read the detailed description
Investigators aimed to conduct an exploratory study- an open-label, single-arm and multi-center -to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). The primary objectives are 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate and safety. Secondary objectives include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and duration of response. The study is divided into dose escalation stage and expansion stage.
Stage I (escalation stage) was designed to identify the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of the combination therapy. Subjects enrolled were divided into two cohorts. Subjects (n=3) in cohort A received oral sorafenib at doses of 400 mg once daily, in combination with intravenous toripalimab 240 mg on the first day, every 3 weeks. Subjects (n=3) in cohort B received oral sorafenib at doses of 400 mg twice daily, in combination with intravenous toripalimab 240 mg on the first day, every 3 weeks. If DLT does not occur within 42 days of the first administration, the dose is escalated. If one subject experienced DLTs, additional 3 subjects are enrolled at that level. Unless no DLT occurs, the next dose level test is continued.
Once ≥2 subjects in cohort A experienced DLT, the study is suspended in advance. If ≥2 subjects in cohort B experienced DLT, the dose of cohort A is recommended in expansion stage. If DLT does not occur in cohort B or only 1 of 6 subjects suffered DLT, the dose of cohort B is recommended in expansion stage.
For subjects who experienced DLT, if adverse events (AEs) return to normal or common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) level 1 within 2 weeks and researchers believe continuing treatment is beneficial to the subjects, they can continue treatment after dose adjustment. Otherwise, termination of treatment is suggested.
According to CTCAE version 4.0, DLT was defined as any grade ≥3 treatment-related toxicity occurring within the first 42 days of administration. Six to twelve patients will be included in this stage.
Stage II (Expansion stage): According to the expansion dose based on stage I, subjects are enlarged to 39. Subjects enrolled are treated with oral sorafenib in combination with toripalimab (every 3 weeks) until suffering progressive disease (PD) or un-tolerated toxicities. Previous literature indicated 6-month PFS rate for HCC with PVTT treated with sorafenib is about 20%. Investigators hypothesize sorafenib plus toripalimab could improve 6-month PFS rate to 40%. Software (PASS) is used to calculate the sample size (β=0.2，α=0.05). According to the results, 35 subjects should be enrolled. When 10% missing rate is considered, total subjects is 39.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
Detailed description
Investigators aimed to conduct an exploratory study- an open-label, single-arm and multi-center -to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib plus toripalimab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). The primary objectives are 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate and safety. Secondary objectives include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and duration of response. The study is divided into dose escalation stage and expansion stage.
Stage I (escalation stage) was designed to identify the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of the combination therapy. Subjects enrolled were divided into two cohorts. Subjects (n=3) in cohort A received oral sorafenib at doses of 400 mg once daily, in combination with intravenous toripalimab 240 mg on the first day, every 3 weeks. Subjects (n=3) in cohort B received oral sorafenib at doses of 400 mg twice daily, in combination with intravenous toripalimab 240 mg on the first day, every 3 weeks. If DLT does not occur within 42 days of the first administration, the dose is escalated. If one subject experienced DLTs, additional 3 subjects are enrolled at that level. Unless no DLT occurs, the next dose level test is continued.
Once ≥2 subjects in cohort A experienced DLT, the study is suspended in advance. If ≥2 subjects in cohort B experienced DLT, the dose of cohort A is recommended in expansion stage. If DLT does not occur in cohort B or only 1 of 6 subjects suffered DLT, the dose of cohort B is recommended in expansion stage.
For subjects who experienced DLT, if adverse events (AEs) return to normal or common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) level 1 within 2 weeks and researchers believe continuing treatment is beneficial to the subjects, they can continue treatment after dose adjustment. Otherwise, termination of treatment is suggested.
According to CTCAE version 4.0, DLT was defined as any grade ≥3 treatment-related toxicity occurring within the first 42 days of administration. Six to twelve patients will be included in this stage.
Stage II (Expansion stage): According to the expansion dose based on stage I, subjects are enlarged to 39. Subjects enrolled are treated with oral sorafenib in combination with toripalimab (every 3 weeks) until suffering progressive disease (PD) or un-tolerated toxicities. Previous literature indicated 6-month PFS rate for HCC with PVTT treated with sorafenib is about 20%. Investigators hypothesize sorafenib plus toripalimab could improve 6-month PFS rate to 40%. Software (PASS) is used to calculate the sample size (β=0.2，α=0.05). According to the results, 35 subjects should be enrolled. When 10% missing rate is considered, total subjects is 39.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing sorafenib; toripalimab in people with Unresectable Hepatocellular Cancer and Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus, run by Sichuan University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Qiu Li, Professor (86-028-85423609, fbqiu9@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
6-month Progression Free Survival rate (time frame: up to 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04069949, which also lists 20 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
