Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab With Lenvatinib, Radiotherapy, and HAIC for Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus

The purpose of this study is to learn how well a combination of iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706), lenvatinib, radiotherapy, and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) works and how safe it is for people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has grown into the portal vein, forming a portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). Participants will receive iparomlimab and tuvonralimab together with lenvatinib, radiotherapy directed at the portal vein tumor thrombus, and HAIC, which delivers chemotherapy directly through the hepatic artery. Researchers will evaluate how long the cancer remains controlled without getting worse, how much the tumors shrink, how long participants survive, and whether the treatment makes surgery possible for some participants. Treatment-related side effects will also be assessed. The study will also explore whether features in tumor tissue and blood are associated with treatment response and may help identify patients who are more likely to benefit from this treatment strategy.

Intelligence System for Predicting Atezolizumab-Bevacizumab Response and Clinical Outcomes in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This study is a multicenter retrospective clinical research, led by the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, and jointly conducted by other sub-centers. The aim is to develop an non-invasive artificial intelligence system for predicting the response and clinical outcomes of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) to the treatment with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab (T+A). In response to the clinical situation where approximately half of uHCC patients do not respond to the standard T+A therapy and traditional invasive biopsy is unable to fully reflect the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, this study plans to retrospectively collect the data of 400 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from January 2020 to November 2025. The study will systematically summarize multi-dimensional data such as enhanced CT images within one month before treatment, baseline characteristics, serum markers, liver disease factors, and tumor stage. By integrating these clinical features with deep learning imageomics features extracted from images, the research team is dedicated to constructing and validating a safe, non-invasive, and reproducible prediction model, with the aim of achieving precise identification of the benefit population before implementing immunotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic treatment, and providing a powerful intelligent tool support for optimizing clinical treatment decisions and improving patient survival prognosis.

A Phase IIa, Single-arm, Open-label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and PK of CVM-1118 in Combination With Sintilimab and TACE in Participants With Incurable/Non-metastatic HCC

This is a single-arm, open-label Phase IIa study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of CVM-1118 in combination with Sintilimab (Tyvyt ®) and TACE in participants with incurable/non-metastatic HCC. Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled, all receiving CVM-1118 (200 mg orally \[PO\], twice daily \[BID\]) in combination with Sintilimab (200 mg via intravenous \[IV\] infusion every 3 weeks \[Q3W\]) and TACE. All participants will initiate treatment with CVM-1118 and Sintilimab on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), with each cycle lasting 21 days, continuing until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, consent withdrawal, for 2 years (i.e., Cycle 34) or study termination (whichever occurs first). CVM-1118 will be temporarily suspended from 2 days prior to each TACE procedure until 7 days post-TACE. The protocol permits conventional TACE (cTACE) or drug-eluting beads TACE (DEB-TACE) based on investigator's discretion, with the requirement that each participant maintains the same TACE modality throughout the treatment period. The first TACE procedure will be initiated between weeks 2-4 (C1D15 - C2D8) following systemic therapy initiation, with a maximum of 2 TACE treatments per lesion, an interval of ≥1 month between TACE sessions, and no more than 4 TACE treatments in total per participant. The study comprises four periods: screening, treatment, safety follow-up, and survival follow-up. During the screening period, participants will undergo required examinations and evaluations. Eligible participants will enter the treatment period to receive the combination regimen. Tumor response will be assessed per RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST (see Appendix 1), with evaluations conducted every 9 weeks (±1 week) following initial dosing. During the safety follow-up period, all participants will undergo final safety assessments 28 days (+7 days) after investigational product cessation or prior to initiating new antitumor therapy. Subsequently, participants will enter the survival follow-up period with 12-week interval contacts to document disease status, anti-tumor therapies received, survival status, and other relevant clinical information until death, loss to follow-up, consent withdrawal, or study closure (whichever occurs first). Throughout the study, participants will undergo scheduled safety evaluations and PK blood sampling at designated timepoints. Subsequent PK sampling schedules may be adjusted or eliminated based on accumulated pharmacokinetic data from preceding participants. * CVM 1118 will be administered at 200 mg, PO, BID. Treatment continues until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, consent withdrawal, for 2 years (i.e., Cycle 34), or study termination (whichever occurs first). CVM-1118 will be temporarily suspended from 2 days prior to each TACE procedure until 7 days post-TACE. CVM-1118 should be swallowed whole with a glass of water in a fasted state, with no food intake for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after CVM 1118 administration. CVM 1118 should be administered at approximately the same time each day. Investigators are permitted to adjust the dosing for participants as required by referring to the "Dose Adjustment". * Sintilimab will be administered at 200 mg, IV, Q3W. Treatment continues until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, consent withdrawal, for 2 years (i.e., Cycle 34) or study termination (whichever occurs first). Investigators are permitted to adjust the drug administration regimen for participants as required by referring to the "Dose Adjustment". * TACE modality for each participant, including the choice between cTACE and DEB-TACE, will be determined by investigators at their discretion; however, each participant must remain consistent with the selected TACE modality (cTACE or DEB-TACE) throughout the treatment period. The first TACE procedure will be initiated 2-4 weeks after the start of systemic therapy (C1D15 to C2D8), with a maximum of 2 treatments per lesion (minimum 1-month interval between TACE sessions) and up to 4 treatments per participant in total.

Shuganhuazhuo Formula for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Damp-Heat Syndrome

Primary liver cancer is a malignant tumor with a very poor prognosis. Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) accounts for approximately 80% of cases. Under the current targeted and immunotherapy-based treatment approaches, the overall survival of patients with advanced HCC has improved significantly compared to targeted therapy alone. However, there are still limitations in therapeutic effectiveness. In addition to the tumor burden, liver reserve function is associated with the prognosis of HCC. Cirrhosis, tumor burden, and anti-tumor treatment can all lead to damage to liver reserve function, which in turn leads to a decrease in patient survival. Currently, there are no specific treatments for deteriorating liver reserve function; only symptomatic treatments such as reducing transaminase levels, bilirubin levels, and blood ammonia levels, as well as diuretics, are available. The indocyanine green(ICG) clearance test allows for precise, dynamic, and quantitative measurement of liver clearance function, making it a commonly used method for assessing liver reserve function in clinical practice.Previous studies have confirmed that its test results are closely related to the prognosis of HCC. Shuganhuazhuo Formula(SHF) is a Chinese herbal medicine used to treat advanced HCC with syndrome of Damp-Heat and Blood stasis. It can inhibit necrosis in the livers of mice in experimental models, reduce fibrosis scores, and demonstrate potential therapeutic effects in protecting the liver, reducing oxidative stress, and preventing fibrosis. This study is an open-label randomized controlled trial. Patients with advanced HCC who are receiving second-line or third-line anti-tumor treatment are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the control group or the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group. The control group receives anti-tumor treatment as recommended by guidelines, while the TCM group receives additional treatment with SHF. SHF involves decocting traditional Chinese medicine ingredients twice daily. Each time, 150 ml of the decoction is prepared and taken orally half an hour after breakfast and dinner. Treatment lasts for 6 months. During this period, the ICG clearance test is performed every 2 months to assess liver reserve function, and quality of life is also evaluated. After the treatment period, follow-ups on survival and safety are conducted every 3 months. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of the SHF in terms of liver reserve function, overall survival, and quality of life in patients with HCC of the syndrome of Damp-Heat and Blood stasis. It also includes exploratory analyses of differences in biomarker expression during treatment.

SBRT Plus QL1706 as Second-Line Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) combined with QL1706 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have received one prior line of systemic therapy and experienced radiographic disease progression or intolerance. Eligible patients will receive SBRT to all evaluable intrahepatic lesions at a total dose of 25-50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. Within 7-14 days after completion of SBRT, patients will receive QL1706 at 7.5 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Treatment with QL1706 will continue until confirmed disease progression, intolerable toxicity, patient request to withdraw, withdrawal of informed consent, or other protocol-defined treatment discontinuation criteria, whichever occurs first. The primary endpoint is objective response rate assessed by the investigator according to modified RECIST criteria. Secondary endpoints include local control rate of SBRT target lesions, progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, and the incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events. Exploratory endpoints include dynamic changes in serum tumor biomarkers and immune-related indicators, as well as their association with clinical outcomes. A total of 36 patients are planned for enrollment.

Neoadjuvant Tislelizumab-Lenvatinib vs Surgery Alone in Stage Ia HCC With Narrow Margin

Postoperative recurrence remains a major limitation to long-term survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, a narrow surgical margin is widely regarded as a risk factor for recurrence. Neoadjuvant therapy may represent a strategy to reduce the risk of recurrence, thereby improving long-term outcomes. Tislelizumab plus lenvatinib has demonstrated promising efficacy with manageable safety in advanced HCC. Therefore, we will conduct a phase II study to compare neoadjuvant tislelizumab plus lenvatinib followed by surgery versus surgery alone in patients with stage IA HCC and an anticipated narrow surgical margin.

Impact of Radiotherapy on ctDNA in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Radiotherapy is increasingly being used in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a standalone treatment, or in combination with systemic therapy. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) causes cell death directly (via double-stranded breaks) and indirectly (via vascular bed damage or promotion of antitumour immunity). Unfortunately, the effect of cell death is not immediate and takes time. As a result, the typical arterial phase hyperenhancement on imaging may persist up to 12 months after radiotherapy, and it is not necessarily suggestive of presence of viable tumours. Therefore, there is no consensus on ideal timing of response assessment following radiotherapy to HCC. Therefore, a blood-based biomarker which can be done frequently and monitored dynamically, could be preferred for response assessment after radiotherapy. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is an emerging and promising biomarker in cancer management, which has been shown useful in cancer screening, guiding treatment, and informing prognosis. Currently, most of the clinical applications of ctDNA revolve around either the presence of ctDNA, or the genomic changes associated with these molecules. Biological properties of ctDNA such as fragment length, jaggedness of fragments, or epigenetic changes may provide additional information related to the tumour characteristics and its sensitivity to anti-cancer treatments. These biological properties of ctDNA are relatively unexplored in the context of radiotherapy. It is unknown whether these properties can be utilized for monitoring treatment response. We therefore propose to study the biological properties of ctDNA in relation to HCC patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab With or Without BCAA in Unresectable HCC

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to lenvatinib and pembrolizumab improves treatment outcomes in adults with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study will also evaluate the safety of this combination treatment. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the addition of BCAAs improve the time patients live without their cancer getting worse? Does the combination treatment improve tumor response compared with standard treatment alone? What medical problems or side effects do participants experience during treatment? Researchers will compare lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab with BCAAs to lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab alone to see whether adding BCAAs provides additional benefit for patients with unresectable HCC. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive lenvatinib and pembrolizumab with or without oral BCAAs Take lenvatinib by mouth every day and receive pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks Continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or withdrawal from the study Visit the clinic regularly for physical examinations, imaging tests, blood tests, and safety assessments
