Brief summary
This is An Open, Single Arm, Multicenter, Exploratory Phase II study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2450 Plus anlotinib as adjuvant therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients at high risk of recurrence after resection. The patients who are confirmed by Histology or cytology as HCC with high-risk recurrence after R0 liver resection will be enrolled. 18 cycles adjuvant treatment with TQB2450 Plus anlotinib can improve one-year recurrence free survival (RFS) rate of HCC patients after R0 surgical resection.
Detailed description
TQB-2450 is a humanized mAb of PD-L1 that prevents PD-L1 from binding to PD-1 and B7.1 receptors on the T cell surface, enabling T cells to restore immune activity and thus enhance the immune response. Anlotinib is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for tumor angiogenesis and proliferative signaling.
Interventions
TQB2450 is an injection in the form of 1200mg, ivgtt, q3W.
Anlotinib Hydrochloride is a capsule in the form of 8 mg,10 mg, and 12 mg, orally, once daily, 2 weeks on/1 week off.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1-year Recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate | 1 year after treatment | 1-year RFS rate is defined as the percentage of patients who do not experience tumor recurrence or death from any cause after 1-year treatment. 1-year RFS rate is determined according to the RECIST 1.1. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse events (AE) | 13 months | An AE refers to any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, but which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Number and classification of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 were recorded. |
| 1-year Overall survival (OS) rate | 1 year after treatment | 1-year OS rate is defined as the percentage of patients who do not experience death from any cause after 1-year treatment. |
| Recurrence-free survival (RFS) | 24 months | From the date of treatment to the date of diagnosis of tumor recurrence or death from any cause as determined by RECIST 1.1. |
