单臂、多中心的2期，香港和新加坡的联合研究。
51名晚期肝癌患者参与该研究，90%的患者为BCLCC期，80%有肝外转移。肿瘤反应率为16%（均为部分缓解），62%的患者肿瘤稳定超过8周，中位肿瘤进展时间为5.29月，中位无进展生存期为5.26月，中位生存率为11.73月。作者对总体结果表示满意，期待SECOX方案与索拉非尼单用的随机对照试验。

Abstract:
Background: This is a single arm, multi-center, phase II study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of sorafenib, oxaliplatin and capecitabine combination for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
Methods: Eligible patients received SECOX regime—sorafenib 400 mg bid (Day one-fourteen), oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 (Day one) and capecitabine 1700 mg/m2(Day one-seven) every two weeks. Response assessment was based on RECIST 1.0 criteria. The primary endpoint was time-to-progression (TTP) and the secondary endpoints were tumor response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and tolerability.
Results: A total of 51 patients were enrolled in the trial.The median age was 58 years (range, 28-81) and 84% of patients were chronic hepatitis B carriers. Ninety percent of recruited patients belonged to BCLC stage C disease and 41 (80%) patients had extra-hepatic metastasis. The best RR was 16% and they were all partial response. Another 62% of patients achieved stable disease for at least eight weeks. The median TTP was 5.29 months (95% CI 3.81-5.88 months), PFS 5.26 months (95% CI 3.75-5.88 months) and OS was 11.73 months (95% CI 8.87- 15.38 months). Diarrhea (75%), Hand-foot-skin reaction (73%) and transient liver function derangement were the most commonly encountered adverse events, with the majority of patients having grade one or two. No treatment-related death was reported. Conclusions: The SECOX regime indicates preliminary promising activity and safety in Asian population with advanced HCC. Our data support a randomized trial comparing SECOX versus sorafenib alone for treatment of advanced HCC.
