Registration Number
NCT07179900
Lead Sponsor
Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital
Brief Summary

This project is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study. It plans to enroll 60 patients with unresectable HCC and no distant metastasis, randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group, with 30 cases in each group. The experimental group was treated with radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and Bevacizumab, while the control group was treated with immunotherapy and Bevacizumab. The efficacy of the patients and the conversion rate to surgery were evaluated.

Radiotherapy+QL1706+BevacizumabQL1706After enrollment, patients first received radiotherapy (41.4 - 50.4 Gy/23 - 28 F). At 25.2 Gy/14 F of radiotherapy, the first systemic treatment was administered: QL1706 7.5 mg/kg + bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, once every 3 weeks. The second cycle of systemic treatment was initiated 7 - 14 days after the completion of radiotherapy. Within 2 weeks after the completion of 4 cycles of systemic treatment (including 1 cycle during radiotherapy and 3 cycles after radiotherapy), preoperative efficacy was evaluated based on the two primary endpoints of this study.
