About this trial

This study is a single-arm, open-label study. To assess the efficacy and safety of AK112 therapy in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma at high risk of recurrence. The primary endpoint is the 12-month RFS rate of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Single lesion more than 5 cm in longest diameter.

Microvascular or macrovascular invasion.

More than 3 tumor nodules.

Edmondson grade at least II on tumor pathology.

Disqualifiers

Past histological/cytological diagnosis of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), sarcomatoid HCC, cholangiocarcinoma, etc.

Other malignancies within 5 years before enrollment, except those locally treated HCC. Exceptions include basal/squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, cervical/ breast carcinoma in situ.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • AK112

    Drug

    After enrollment, patients receive AK112 at 20 mg/kg, administered via intravenous infusion on day 1 of each cycle, every 3 weeks (Q3W). After four cycles, surgery is performed four weeks after the last dose. AK112 at 20 mg/kg is administered again four to eight weeks after surgery, via intravenous infusion on day 1 of each cycle, every 3 weeks (Q3W), until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, initiation of new anti-tumor therapy, or other reasons specified in the protocol for discontinuation of treatment. The maximum postoperative treatment duration with AK112 is 12 months.
