Brief summary
This study is being done to analyze the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of treatment using combination of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Detailed description
This is a study of combination anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and peginterferon alfa-2b for adult patients (≥18) with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Each 21 day dosing period will constitute a cycle. Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b has been proven to prolong the survival of HCC patients. Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b is given subcutaneously, weekly during each 21-day cycle, for at least 6 cycles (18 weeks). Treatment may continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies (including pembrolizumeb, nivolumab, sintilimab, toripalimab, camrelizumeb, tislelizumab and atezolizumab etc.) are given intravenously at assigned dose. Treatment may continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. This study is aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b and PD-1/PD-L1 mAb in unresectable late-stage HCC patients.
