About this trial

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled Phase 2 study in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of GKL-006 Injection in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) versus TACE alone.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Assessed by Independent Review Committee Based on mRECIST

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression assessed by the independent review committee (IRC) according to mRECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
Up to approximately 18 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Assessed by Investigator Based on mRECIST

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression assessed by the investigator according to mRECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
Up to approximately 18 months
2

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

The rate of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to mRECIST.

Time frame
Up to approximately 18 months
3

Duration of Response (DOR)

Duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented objective response of CR or PR according to mRECIST to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
Up to approximately 18 months
4

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

The rate of participants with a best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) according to mRECIST.

Time frame
Up to approximately 18 months
