Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with advanced HCC, measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0–1, Child-Pugh A liver function, adequate organ/coagulation parameters, and willingness to provide tumor tissue would be ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), significant cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B/C), severe cardiac dysfunction, major organ failure, or life expectancy under three months are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This is a phase 2 interventional trial combining the experimental agent BL-B01D1 with the approved kinase inhibitor lenvatinib in adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Eligible participants are 18–75 years old with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced HCC, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST v1.1, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ and coagulation function; archived or fresh tumor tissue must be provided. The study will monitor tumor response and safety outcomes to characterize activity and tolerability of the combination. Treatment effects will be measured by standard radiographic response criteria and adverse event grading per NCI-CTCAE.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could improve tumor control or delay progression compared with current single-agent approaches.
How similar studies have gone: Lenvatinib has been combined with other experimental agents in prior trials with some encouraging tumor control signals, but BL-B01D1 appears to be a novel agent without published clinical results in HCC to date.
