HAIC, Lenvatinib, and Cadonilimab as Conversion Therapy for Initially Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Is NCT06187961 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Sep 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Lenvatinib and Cadonilimab for hepatocellular carcinoma non-resectable.

Phase 2RecruitingTongji HospitalNCT06187961Data as of Sep 2026Location: China

Treatment: Lenvatinib · CadonilimabThis is an open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study evaluating hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and cadonilimab as conversion therapy for initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The primary objective is to assess the conversion rate, defined as the proportion of participants who are deemed amenable to curative-intent treatment by the multidisciplinary team (MDT), including R0 resection, curative ablation, or liver transplantation, after study treatment. Secondary objectives include curative-intent intervention rate, tumor response, survival outcomes, safety, pathological response, and exploratory tissue and blood biomarkers.
