Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (BCLC B or C), no prior systemic HCC therapy, at least one measurable lesion, Child‑Pugh A or B7, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with mixed hepatocellular‑cholangiocarcinoma or other excluded histologic HCC subtypes, active non‑HCC malignancies within five years, poor organ function, prior systemic HCC therapy, or worse Child‑Pugh/ECOG status are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, open‑label phase I trial enrolls 36 adults with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy. Participants receive SHR-2524 together with bevacizumab and undergo regular clinical and imaging assessments for measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Blood samples are collected during treatment to measure pharmacodynamic markers and other biomarker changes. The primary focus is dose finding and safety/tolerability while gathering early signals of clinical activity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new first-line option that improves disease control for people with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: Bevacizumab combinations (for example with immunotherapy) have shown clinical benefit in HCC, but SHR-2524 is an investigational agent and combinations with it are largely untested in humans.
