Involvement of both the main portal vein and the left and right branches by portal vein tumor thrombus, or of both the main trunk and the superior mesenteric vein concurrently. Presence of tumor thrombus of inferior vena cava. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic greater than 140 mmHg or diastolic greater than 90 mmHg) after the optimal medical treatment, history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy. Toxicity (excluding alopecia, events not clinically significant, and asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities) caused by previous therapy that has not yet resolved to grade 0 or 1 (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V5.0 (NCI CTCAE V5.0)) before the first dose of study drugs. Symptomatic congestive cardiac failure (NYHA Class II-IV). Serious hemorrhagic tendency or coagulopathy, or currently receiving thrombolytic therapy. History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula, history of bowel obstruction (including incomplete bowel obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection (partial colectomy or extensive small bowel resection accompanied with chronic diarrhea), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea within the past 6 months. History or current experience of pulmonary fibrosis and such lung diseases as interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, drug-related pneumonia, and severely impaired lung function. Active or poorly clinically controlled serious infections. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected (HIV 1/2 antibody positive) and known syphilis infection requiring treatment. Presence of active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment (e.g., use of disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants) within 2 years before the first dose. Receipt of major surgery (craniotomy, thoracotomy, or laparotomy) within 4 weeks before the first dose or having unhealed wounds, ulcers, or fractures. Uncontrolled/uncorrectable metabolic disorders, other non-malignant organ diseases, systemic diseases, or cancer-related secondary diseases with the potential to cause a relatively high medical risk and/or survival evaluation uncertainties unsuitable for subject enrollment as judged by the investigator; other circumstances unsuitable for subject enrollment as judged by the investigator. Pregnant or breastfeeding female patients. Acute or chronic diseases, psychiatric disorders, or laboratory abnormalities that may lead to the following consequences: increased study participation or drug-related risks, or interference with interpreting trial results, and considered ineligible for participating in the trial by the investigator

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab combined with regorafenib in patients with HCC who progressed on systemic therapy.
Detailed Description
Currently, second-line treatment options for advanced HCC (aHCC) patients including single TKI or anti-PD-(L)1 remains limited survival benefits and objective responses. To explore more effective and safer second-line or later therapies for aHCC is necessary. Cadonilimab is a first-in-class humanized IgG1 bispecific antibody that binds to PD-1 and CTLA-4 simultaneously. Dual checkpoint inhibition of the PD-1 and CTAL4 pathways with single cadonilimab has the potential to boost immune surveillance in HCC. Previously data indicated that cadonilimab possesses an encouraging anti-tumour activity and an improved safety profile compared to the co-administration of anti-PD-1 plus anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. Regorafenib is a TKI and approved for second-line treatment of uHCC globally. Here, we evaluated the safety of cadonilimab plus regorafenib as second-line or later therapy in patients with aHCC.
