Official title
A Prospective, Non-interventional Study of Different First-line Immunotherapy in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients: Efficacy and Immune Microenvironment Dynamics
Overview
To evaluate the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving different first-line immunotherapy.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study evaluating the efficacy and immune microenvironment changes in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients receiving different first-line immunotherapy, including anti-PD1+anti-VEGF, anti-PD1+TKI and anti-PD1+anti-CTLA4. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), with secondary endpoints including disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and immune profiling of tumor tissue and peripheral blood before and after treatment.
Interventions
- Drug Sintilimab
Sintilimab will be administered by IV, 200 mg every 3 weeks - Drug Bevacizumab Biosimilar
Bevacizumab biosimilar will be administered by IV, 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks. - Drug Camrelizumab
Camrelizumab will be administered by IV, 200 mg every 2 weeks. - Drug Rivoceranib
Rivoceranib will be administered by oral 250 mg once daily. - Drug Nivolumab
Nivolumab will be administered by IV, 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for up to four doses, followed by nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks - Drug Ipilimumab
Ipilimumab will be administered by IV, 3mg/kg every 3 weeks for up to four doses.
Primary outcome measures
