Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adabrelimab (arterial or intravenous administration) combined with hepatic artery FOLFOX infusion chemotherapy and Bevacizumab as the first-line treatment of advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients will be randomized 1:1 etither to receive hepatic arterial infusion(HAI) Adabrelimab group or IV Adabrelimab group, and both groups will receive HAI FOLFOX chemotherapy and IV Bevacizumab.

Detailed Description

The combination of anti-PD-L1 antibody and bevacizumab has been approved as the first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the overall response rate is still unsatisfactory and the prognosis of patients remains poor. Our previous retrospective analysis showed triple combination of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) of FOLFOX regimen plus adebrelimab (anti-PD-L1 antibody) and bevacizumab had a high response rate for advanced stage HCC patients. More, as the PD-L1 on intrahepatic tumors is the main target of anti-PD-L1 therapy, hepatic arterial infusion of anti-PD-L1 antibody may contribute to a synergistic effect. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adabrelimab (arterial or intravenous administration) combined with hepatic artery FOLFOX infusion chemotherapy and Bevacizumab as the first-line treatment of advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma.
