AI could revolutionize liver cancer treatment by predicting who will benefit most
NCT ID NCT07584317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict how well liver cancer patients will respond to a combination of treatments, including a procedure called TACE, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Researchers will analyze medical images and other data from 1,170 participants to see if the AI can accurately forecast outcomes. The goal is to personalize treatment decisions and improve results for people with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
In the retrospective cohort, patients with HCC who received TACE combined with immunotherapy and targeted therapy, as well as other treatment modalities, will be retrospectively included. Multimodal data from this cohort will be used to develop and train the AI-based model. In the prospective cohort, patients with HCC who receive TACE combined with immunotherapy and targeted therapy will be prospectively enrolled. Multimodal data, including clinical, imaging, and biospecimen-related data when available, will be collected to validate the AI-based multimodal model.

1. Retrospective Study Cohort 1.1 Inclusion Criteria Age ≥18 years; Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis; At least one intrahepatic lesion that is repeatedly measurable according to RECIST v1.1. 1.2 Exclusion Criteria Known sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma or fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma; Presence of other active malignancies within the past 5 years or concurrent active malignancies other than hepatocellular carcinoma; Missing preoperative imaging examinations, including CT or MRI, or poor image quality; Missing key baseline clinical data; Loss to follow-up after treatment. 2. Prospective Study Cohort 2.1 Inclusion Criteria Age ≥18 years; Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis; Scheduled to receive first-line TACE combined with immunotherapy and targeted therapy; At least one intrahepatic lesion that is repeatedly measurable according to RECIST v1.1; Expected survival of more than 3 months. 2.2 Exclusion Criteria Known sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma or fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma; Presence of other active malignancies within the past 5 years or concurrent active malignancies other than hepatocellular carcinoma; Other factors that, in the investigator's judgment, make the patient unsuitable for participation in this study; Severe allergy to iodinated contrast agents that preclude imaging examinations or TACE treatment.
