About this trial
Patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who progressed after prior systemic therapy (targeted ± immunotherapy) are enrolled. Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR). Planned enrollment: 47 subjects. Eligible patients receive adebrelimab + apatinib.
After informed consent and screening, treatment starts: Adebrelimab 1200mg IV on D1, Q3W; apatinib 250mg oral QD, continuous. 21-day cycle. Treatment continues until intolerable toxicity, consent withdrawal, RECIST v1.1-proven progression (may continue if clinically beneficial), or protocol-specified criteria (whichever first).
Safety follow-up on D1 of each cycle; imaging every 2 cycles (6-8 weeks) for efficacy. Post-treatment: continued safety and survival follow-up.

Treatments tested in this trial
Adebrelimab + Apatinib
DrugAdebrelimab: A fixed dose of 1200 mg is administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes (not less than 20 minutes and not more than 60 minutes, including the flushing phase), once every 3 weeks (Q3W). The interval between two administrations should not be less than 12 days. The maximum treatment duration is 6 courses. Apatinib: 250 mg, once daily (QD), taken orally within half an hour after a meal, continuously, with a 3 - week (21 - day) cycle. The maximum treatment duration is 6 courses.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective Response Rate (ORR): It refers to the percentage of subjects who achieve complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, mRECIST, or imRECIST (for CR and PR under the imRECIST criteria, they can occur after radiographic disease progression).
Secondary outcomes
Median Progression-free survival
It refers to the time from the first occurrence of radiological disease progression or death (whichever comes first), as determined by the investigator in accordance with RECIST v1.1, mRECIST, or imRECIST. For radiological disease progression identified under the imRECIST criteria, if it is evaluated as response or stable disease after ≥4 weeks, this progression will not be considered a PFS event.
Time to Progression (TTP)
It refers to the time from the date of starting treatment to the occurrence of radiological disease progression, as determined by the investigator in accordance with RECIST v1.1, mRECIST, or imRECIST. For radiological disease progression identified under the imRECIST criteria, if it is evaluated as response or stable disease after ≥4 weeks, this progression will not be considered a TTP event.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
It refers to the percentage of subjects who achieve complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) lasting for ≥8 weeks, as determined by the investigator in accordance with RECIST v1.1, mRECIST, or imRECIST (CR, PR, and SD under the imRECIST criteria can occur after radiographic disease progression).
Duration of Response (DOR)
It refers to the time from the first documentation of objective response (CR or PR) to the first occurrence of radiographic disease progression or death (whichever comes first), as determined by the investigator in accordance with RECIST v1.1, mRECIST, or imRECIST. For radiographic disease progression under the imRECIST criteria, if it is assessed as response or stable disease after ≥4 weeks, it will not be regarded as a progression event for DoR calculation.
