Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with confirmed intermediate or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have progressed on prior treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not previously received camrelizumab and apatinib may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of cadonilimab, an anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, in combination with regorafenib for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have previously failed treatment with camrelizumab and apatinib. The study focuses on individuals with intermediate to advanced liver cancer, aiming to provide a new treatment option for those who have limited alternatives. Participants must meet specific eligibility criteria, including having measurable lesions and adequate organ function.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have exhausted other treatments.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific combination of cadonilimab and regorafenib in this patient population is novel.
