About this trial

1. Explore the impact of postoperative administration of multi-kinase inhibitors (including sorafenib, lenvatinib, and regorafenib) in conjunction with bevacizumab on post-transplant recurrence, overall survival, and drug safety in liver transplant recipients at high risk of recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma. 2. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of multi-kinase inhibitors in combination with bevacizumab as adjuvant therapy in liver transplant recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma who present high-risk factors for recurrence, based on the one-year recurrence-free survival rate (1-year RFS rate). 3. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the effectiveness and safety of multi-kinase inhibitors in combination with bevacizumab as adjuvant therapy in liver transplant recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma who present high-risk factors for recurrence, based on the following parameters: Recurrence-free survival (RFS) duration, Overall survival (OS), Two-year and three-year RFS rates, Graft survival, Quality of life evaluation (QoL), Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Voluntary enrollment, accompanied by the signing of a written informed consent form, is a prerequisite for participation in this study. This ensures that participants enter the study based on their own decision and understanding of the research objectives, procedures, and potential risks.

The study includes individuals aged between 18 and 75 years, inclusive, without any gender restrictions. This broad age range and gender inclusivity allow for a diverse representation of participants, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the study outcomes across different demographic profiles.

Prior to enrollment, participants must have undergone liver transplantation within the preceding 4 to 8 weeks. This specific time frame serves as an inclusion criterion to ensure that participants have recently undergone the surgical procedure, enabling researchers to investigate the effects of the transplantation within a relevant timeframe.

Participants should have an anticipated life expectancy of more than 3 months.

Disqualifiers

Patients with a previous histological/cytological diagnosis of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, or other similar components.

Patients who have undergone potentially curative treatment and have no evidence of the disease within the past 5 years.

Patients who have successfully undergone resection of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, or other in situ carcinomas; or patients who have been treated for superficial bladder cancer, have undergone surgical treatment, and have prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tumor markers within the normal range.

Patients who are concurrently taking medications that may prolong the QTc interval and/or induce torsades de pointes (Tdp) or medications that affect drug metabolism.
