Brief summary
This is a phase II, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Durvalumab plus Lenvatinib as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
Detailed description
This single-arm, open-label, prospective phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Durvalumab plus Lenvatinib as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1. Safety evaluation will be taken according to CTCAE v5.0. Disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) are secondary endpoints. Multi-omics analysis will be performed to identify potential biomarkers for treatment response.

Male patients whose partners are women of childbearing age should use an effective method of contraception during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease (e.g. the following but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enterocolitis, autoimmune hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, vitiligo. Patients with complete remission of asthma in childhood who do not require any intervention in adulthood may be included, but those require bronchodilators cannot be included. * Patients who are on immunosuppressive drugs, or require systemic hormone therapy for immunosuppression purposes (doses \>10 mg/day of prednisone or other isotonic hormones) and who continue to use them within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. * Receiving systemic therapy previously or other anti-cancer treatments (e.g. radiofrequency ablation, interventional therapy, radiotherapy, etc.) * Patients with a known history of central neural system metastases or hepatic encephalopathy. * Patients with clinically symptomatic ascites requiring puncture or drainage or those who have received ascites drainage within the previous 3 months. * Patients with hypertension that is not well controlled by antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg). * Having clinical cardiac symptoms or disease not well controlled, such as (1) NYHA class 2 or higher heart failure (2) unstable angina pectoris (3) myocardial infarction within 1 year (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention (5) QTc \> 450 ms (men); QTc \> 470 ms (women). * With abnormal coagulation (INR \> 2.0, PT \> 16s), bleeding tendency or on thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy. Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin or low molecular heparin is allowed. * Patients had clinically significant bleeding symptoms or a clear bleeding tendency within the 3 months prior to enrollment. * Having arterial/venous thrombotic events within the 6 months prior to enrollment. * With hereditary or acquired bleeding and thrombotic tendencies. * With urine protein ≥ ++ and confirmed by 24-hour urine protein amount \> 1.0 g. * Patients with active infection, unexplained fever ≥ 38.5°C within 7 days prior to the first dose, or baseline white blood cell count \> 15 x 10\^9/L. * Patient with a congenital or acquired immune deficiency (e.g. HIV infection). * Patient with other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix) within the previous 3 years or concurrently. * Patients who have other factors that could affect the outcome of the study or force the termination of the study, such as alcoholism, substance abuse, other serious illnesses (including psychiatric illness) requiring comorbid treatment.
