Summary: For inoperable small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective and safe local treatment. Despite satisfactory local control rate, the incidence of recurrence out the field remains substantial, with 2-year PFS of 31.9% to 60.9%. Therefore, a more effective treatment mode is urgently needed. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have shown substantial clinical benefits in advanced HCC as well as resected high-risk HCC. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy with SBRT has shown promising activity in HCC, but its utility in small HCC is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of SBRT followed by sintilimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in patients with recurrent or residual small HCC.

Detailed description: A total of 140 patients with recurrent or residual small HCC will be stratified according to tumor diameter (≤3 vs. >3 cm) and tumor type (recurrent vs. residual) and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with or without adjuvant sintilimab for 6 cycles (200 mg, once every 3 weeks, with the first dose within 1 week after the completion of SBRT).

Inability to provide informed consent due to psychological, familial, social and other factors; 8. A history of malignancies other than hepatocellular carcinoma before enrollment, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or cured early prostate cancer; 9. A history of diabetes for more than 10 years and poorly controlled blood glucose levels; 10. Patients who cannot tolerate radiotherapy due to severe cardiac, lung, liver or kidney dysfunction, or hematopoietic disease or cachexia; 11. Active autoimmune diseases, a history of autoimmune diseases (including but not limited to these diseases or syndromes, such as colitis, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism), a history of immunodeficiency (including a positive HIV test result), or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, a history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation; 12. A history of interstitial lung disease or non-infectious pneumonia; 13. A history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within 1 year or a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than 1 year ago but without formal anti-tuberculosis treatment; 14.
