Conditions

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Interventions

Control group:The basiliximab induction regimen was defined as follows: two intravenous infusions of 20 mg each, administered over 30 minutes on the day of transplantation (D0) and on postoperative da
Study group:ATLG was administered by intravenous infusion, continuously or intermittently, from the day of transplantation through postoperative day 7 (D0–D7), with a maximum single-day dose of 200 mg
infusion rates could be further decreased in response to infusion-related adverse events. Premedication with corticosteroids and antihistamines was given to prevent infusion reactions. Methylpredni
40 mg/day IV on D4–D6
20 mg/day IV on D6–D7
with discontinuation on D8. Tacrolimus monotherapy was initiated on postoperative day 3 at an initial dose of 2 mg every 12 hours, targeting whole-blood trough concentrations of 8–10 ng/mL during t
