Summary

This prospective randomized trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of combining 125I seed interstitial brachytherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with primary, recurrent, or metastatic malignant tumors. Immunotherapy has become an important systemic treatment option, yet many patients experience limited benefit due to low tumor immunogenicity, insufficient T-cell infiltration, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

125I seed brachytherapy provides continuous low-dose-rate radiation to the tumor, promoting antigen release, enhancing dendritic cell activation, and potentially converting immunologically "cold" tumors into more responsive "hot" lesions. Integrating localized radiation with systemic immunotherapy may improve tumor response, prolong progression-free survival, and reduce recurrence.

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive 125I seed implantation plus immunotherapy or immunotherapy alone. The primary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include failure-free survival (FFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), local control, recurrence rate, adverse events, and quality of life. Exploratory analyses will assess radiomics features, subgroup responses, and different patterns of recurrence. This study aims to determine whether adding 125I seed brachytherapy enhances the clinical benefits of immunotherapy across diverse malignant tumors.
