Inclution Criteria
Subjects are eligible for inclusion in this trial only if they meet all of the following criteria:
Age
1. Subjects must be 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction where the trial is conducted, when signing the subject consent form.
Subject Type and Disease Characteristics
2. Subjects have locally advanced or metastatic and/or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confirmed by histopathological/cytological methods, or clinically confirmed using the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria for patients with cirrhosis.
(a) Subjects without cirrhosis require a histologically confirmed diagnosis.
3. Subjects have a WHO/East Coast Cancer Clinical Research Consortium (WHO/ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1, and have not experienced exacerbations within the screening baseline and 2 weeks prior to randomization.
4. Subjects must not have previously received systemic therapy for intermediate, advanced, or metastatic HCC.
5. Subjects have a condition unsuitable for curative surgery and/or localized regional therapy. Subjects are eligible if they have recurrent/worsening disease following surgery and/or localized therapy. Subjects who have received approved adjuvant therapy (including immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy) must have a minimum 6-month interval between completion of such therapy and data showing a diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic disease. For subjects receiving localized therapy for HCC, the localized therapy must have been completed ≥ 28 days prior to the baseline scan of this trial.
6. Barcelona Clinical Hepatocellular Carcinoma (BCLC) Stage B (not eligible for localized therapy) or Stage C.
7. Child-Pugh score of A, and no progression within 2 weeks prior to the baseline screening period and randomization.
8. For the randomization period, a sufficient quantity of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimen (newly acquired specimen or specimen retained within ≤12 months prior to screening) must be provided for central PD-L1 testing prior to randomization.
9. At least one previously untreated, measurable target lesion that can be accurately measured at the baseline period and is suitable for accurate repeat measurement according to RECIST 1.1 guidelines. Lesions located within the scope of local therapy that subsequently worsen as defined in RECIST 1.1 following previous treatment are eligible.
10. Appropriate organ and bone marrow function is measured during the screening period (i.e., day -28 to day -1).
11. Subjects with active hepatitis B (HBV) infection (characterized by positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and detectable HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) [≥10 IU/mL or above the detection limit of their local laboratory]) must have received antiviral therapy for at least 14 days prior to randomization, in accordance with institutional practice, to demonstrate evidence of HBV stability or signs of viral response (e.g., decreased HBV DNA concentration) in order to be eligible for inclusion. Subjects must continue receiving antiviral therapy during the trial and for 6 months after the last dose of trial treatment. Subjects co-infected with HBV and hepatitis D virus (HDV) are ineligible (indicators of active HBV infection are the presence of HBsAg and/or anti-HBcAb and detectable HBV DNA; indicators of active HDV infection are detectable HDV-RNA and the presence/absence of anti-HDV antibodies).
12. Subjects with active hepatitis C (HCV) infection, as determined by the trial administrator, must be well-controlled in this trial according to local institutional practices. Subjects with active HCV infection must be diagnosed with HCV, characterized by detectable HCV RNA and the presence/absence of anti-HCV antibodies at enrollment. Subjects co-infected with HBV and HCV are ineligible (the presence of anti-HCV antibodies indicates HCV positive infection).
