About this trial

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, phase 3 study to explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant tislelizumab plus lenvatinib in patients with resectable HCC at high risk of recurrence.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily participates in this study and provides written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Prior antitumor therapy for the current HCC, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, other locoregional therapies (e.g., TACE, HAIC), or prior immunotherapy or targeted therapy.

Known cholangiocarcinoma, sarcomatoid HCC, mixed hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, or fibrolamellar carcinoma; or any other active malignancy besides HCC within the past 5 years or concurrently (except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ).

Hypertension inadequately controlled with antihypertensive therapy (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg); or history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
