Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A total of at least 120 subjects with unresectable or non-ablative, non-metastatic HCC are planned to be enrolled and randomly assigned to groups A, B, C and D in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, that is, yttrium \[90Y\] microsphere injection + camrelizumab + apatinib group (A), yttrium \[90Y\] microsphere injection + camrelizumab group (B), yttrium \[90Y\] microsphere injection group (C) and cTACE group (D). The above treatment will continue until the criteria for withdrawal from study treatment are met, whichever occurs first. Subjects will receive yttrium \[90Y\] microsphere injection alone or in combination with camrelizumab and/or apatinib for up to 18 months.
The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 study is ORR assessed by BICR based on mRECIST criteria. The key secondary endpoint is PFS assessed by BICR based on mRECIST criteria.
