Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Previous anti-HCC therapies, including but not limited to: targeted therapy (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors), immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) or systemic chemotherapy
  • Previous radiotherapy involving the abdomen.

Other illness

  • History of other malignancies, except: carcinoma in situ,early-stage papillary thyroid cancer or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Significant cardiac, renal, or other major organ dysfunction.
  • Active Autoimmune Disease or Psychiatric Disorders.
  • HIV Infection.

Other

  • Vp3 or Vp4 portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) or Vv2/Vv3 inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus on preoperative imaging.
  • Distant metastasis before randomization.
  • Moderate to severe ascites unresponsive to medical management.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Currently enrolled in another interventional clinical trial.

Who the study is looking for

  • R0 resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a surgical margin \<1 cm (determined by postoperative pathology, surgical records, and imaging).
  • Within 4 months after curative resection.
  • High-Risk Recurrence Factors (at least one required in addition to narrow margin): (1) Microvascular invasion (MVI) positive, tumor thrombus, or satellite nodules (2) Preoperative AFP \>400 ng/mL (3) Tumor \>5 cm with incomplete capsule
  • ≥18 and ≤80 years old.
  • ECOG score 0-1.
  • Child-Pugh Class: A5, A6, or B7.
  • Postoperative Contrast-enhanced MRI of the liver must be performed to exclude intrahepatic residual lesions.
  • HBV DNA and HCV RNA status do not affect eligibility, but if HBV DNA positive and/or HCV RNA positive: ALT must be \<1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN). Antiviral therapy must be initiated.
  • Liver Function Tests (LFTs): ALT ≤2.5× ULN (if HBV/HCV positive, ALT ≤1.5× ULN). If ALT ≤1.5× ULN, AST ≤6× ULN (excluding AST elevation due to myocardial infarction). If ALT 1.5-2.5× ULN, AST ≤2.5× ULN.
  • No significant ECG abnormalities and no severe cardiac dysfunction.
  • Serum creatinine (CRE) and BUN ≤2.5× ULN.
  • Hb≥80g/L,ANC≥1.0×109 /L,PLT≥40×109 /L.
  • Written informed consent obtained.
