  • Experimental
    Cadonilimab+TACE

    Cadonilimab (15mg/kg Q3W D1)+TACE

    Drug: Cadonilimab+TACE

Interventions

  • DrugCadonilimab+TACE

    Cadonilimab: 15mg/kg Q3W Day1 Select the best TACE treatment strategy. Traditional TACE (cTACE) or DEB-TACE can be selected. TACE treatment can be continued as needed based on disease control. The combination of cadonilimab is given 3 to 7 days after the first TACE treatment, and the subsequent administration of cardonilizumab is given once every 3 weeks, if the time overlaps with TACE treatment, it is generally administered 3 to 7 days after TACE treatment. Treatment was discontinued until intolerable toxicity, death, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of a new antitumor therapy, or other reason specified in the protocol, whichever occurs first. Patients in this study received cadonilimab for up to 24 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete response or partial response according to RECIST 1.1.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from enrollment of the trial to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Up to two years

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    The duration from the date of recruitment to the date of death from any cause.

    Time frame: Up to two years

  3. Adverse events (safety)

    Adverse events (safety ) will be evaluated according to the NCI CTCAE Version 5.0.The number and severity of treatment-related side effects, including AE and SAE, will be recorded during treatment.

    Time frame: Up to two years
