Candonilimab Plus Bevacizumab for Patients With Advanced HCC Who Progressed on A+T

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To explore the efficacy and safety of candonilimab plus bevacizumab for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who progressed on atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is the first-line treatent for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the second-line treatment is absent for patients who progressed on atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Candonilimab is a humanized bisspecific monoclonal antibody against PD-1/CTLA-4 IgG1. Candonilimab plus lenvatinib showed strong anti-tumor effect, with objective response of 44%. This single-arm, prospective, phase 2 trial is to explore the efficacy and safety of candonilimab plus bevacizumab for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who progressed on atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
