Efficacy and Safety Comparison Between Intensified Therapy and Conversion Therapy For Advanced HCC After Failure of First-line

Although immunotherapy-based therapies (including targeted-immunotherapy or dual-immunotherapy protocols) have become the first-line standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there remains a lack of high-level evidence to guide the selection of second-line therapies following progression in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Additionally, direct comparative data are scarce for combination treatment modalities such as "continuation of the original first-line regimen with added agents" or "switching to agents with different mechanisms". To address this clinical need and explore novel second-line treatment strategies for advanced HCC, we plan to conduct an exploratory clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety comparison between intensified therapy (plus lenvatinib) and conversion therapy (regorafenib combined with PD-1 inhibitor) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma after failure of fFirst-line bevacizumab plus sintilimab.

Dalpiciclib Plus Camrelizumab for HCC Patients Who Have Previously Received ICI Treatment

While immune-based therapies (including targeted-immune or dual-immune regimens) have become first-line standard for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there is a lack of high-level evidence to guide second-line treatment after progression on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Preclinical studies suggest synergistic antitumor activity between CDK4/6 inhibitors and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. However, no clinical studies have yet evaluated the combination of dalpiciclib and camrelizumab in this setting. To address this unmet need and explore novel second-line strategies for advanced HCC, we plan to conduct an exploratory clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of dalpiciclib plus camrelizumab in patients with unresectable HCC previously treated with ICIs.
