Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To elucidate predictors of therapeutic efficacy for each pharmacologic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and to identify clinically useful blood-based and histopathologic biomarkers. We will prospectively register all patients with HCC who are indicated for systemic therapy at Osaka University and collaborating institutions nationwide in a centralized database, collect clinical, hematologic, and histopathologic data obtained before and after treatment initiation, and analyze their associations with antitumor response and clinical outcomes.

Other related information

For advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), combination regimens incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors have become widely used as standard of care. However, multiple therapeutic options, including molecularly targeted agents, are available, and it remains unclear which drugs are most effective for which patient subgroups. Although predictors of response to individual agents have been examined in small cohorts, there are currently no large-scale, prospective studies that can directly inform regimen selection. Accordingly, conducting a prospective study enrolling a large number of patients to stratify therapeutic efficacy across pharmacologic regimens is an urgent need.

This study aims to clarify predictors of treatment efficacy for each systemic therapy for HCC and to identify clinically useful blood-based and histopathologic biomarkers. We will prospectively register patients with HCC who are candidates for systemic therapy at Osaka University and collaborating institutions nationwide in a centralized database; collect clinical information, hematologic data, and histopathologic data obtained before and after treatment initiation; and analyze their associations with antitumor efficacy and clinical outcomes, including prognosis.
