Participants who meet any of the following criteria should be excluded from this study:
2. Patients who are receiving chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy (daily dose >10 mg prednisone or other glucocorticoid with the same effect) or other immunosuppression therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose.
3. Hepatic tumor burden > 50% of total hepatic volume at screening.
4. Invasion of portal vein main trunk (Vp4) by cancer thrombus (more than 1/2 of lumen) as confirmed by CT/MRI examination.
5. Presence of metastases to central nervous system of HCC; MRI scan of brain and/or spine is required to rule out the possibility when it is suspected.
6. Toxicity induced by previous treatment (except for alopecia and Neuropathy peripheral) has not recovered to ≤ grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
7. Severe infection during the screening period, including but not limited to hospitalization for infection, bacteraemia or severe pneumonia complications, oral or intravenous administration of therapeutic antibiotics for ≥7 days within 14 days prior to the first dose (patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics can be enrolled), fever ≥38.5°C of unknown origin within 7 days prior to the first dose or white blood cell count >15×109/L at baseline.
8. Uncontrolled pericardial effusion, uncontrolled pleural effusion, or clinically evident moderate or severe peritoneal effusion during screening period is defined as meeting the following criteria: having clinical symptoms and detectable pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal effusion on physical examination; or pleural and peritoneal effusion requiring puncture and aspiration and/or intracavitary drug administration for treatment.
9. Grade ≥3 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0) gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal fistula during screening period.
10. Existence of severe unhealed wounds, active ulcer and Therapy naive fracture at screening period.
11. Severe cardiovascular diseases.
12. History of haemorrhage of digestive tract within 6 months prior to the first dose, or clear haemorrhagic diathesis (including high-risk severe esophageal-gastric varicose vein, local active digestive tract ulcer lesions, and persistent faecal occult blood positive; if faecal occult blood positive at baseline, it can be rechecked; if still positive after recheck, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is required; if endoscopy indicates severe esophageal-gastric varicose vein or the investigator judges that there is a clear risk of bleeding, then the subject cannot be enrolled).
13. Evidence of other haemorrhagic diathesis or significant coagulopathy.
14. History of intestinal obstruction and/or clinical signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal tract obstruction within 6 months prior to the first dose, including incomplete obstruction associated with pre-existing diseases requiring routine parenteral hydration, parenteral nutrition, or enteral feeding (patients who received definite [surgical] treatment prior to the first dose to resolve the obstruction symptoms were allowed to be enrolled).
15. Active autoimmune disorders requiring systemic treatment within 2 years prior to the first dose; however, replacement therapy (e.g., Thyroxine, Insulin, or physiological replacement of corticosteroids for adrenal or Pituitary insufficiency) will not be considered as systemic treatment and is allowed.
16. Having had neoplasm malignant (except HCC) within 5 years prior to the first dose, including mixed type of liver cancer; however, localized tumors that have been cured, including Carcinoma cervix in situ, Basal cell carcinoma, and Carcinoma in situ of prostate, etc.
17. History of interstitial lung disease or noninfectious pneumonitis, unless caused by local radiotherapy.
18. Patients with active tuberculosis or who have received anti-tuberculosis therapy within one year prior to the first dose.
19. HBV and/or HCV infection: a) HBsAg (+) and/or HBcAb (+), and HBV DNA > 1000 IU/mL (if the lower limit of the minimum measurable value of the local center is higher than 1000 IU/mL, enrollment will be decided according to the specific circumstances after discussion with the sponsor; the patient must continue to receive the original anti-HBV therapy throughout the study, or start the entecavir or tenofovir throughout the study after screening); b) positive HCV Antibody and HCV RNA > upper limit of normal; c) co-infection with hepatitis B and C.
20. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, prior allogeneic stem cell or Solid organ transplant, or other Immunodeficiency.
21. Known severe allergy to any Monoclonal antibodies.
22. Other factors that may affect the study results or cause the study to be terminated prematurely, as judged by the investigator, such as alcoholism, Drug of Abuse, other serious diseases (including mental disorders), need for concomitant treatment, serious Laboratory test abnormal, and family or social factors that may affect the patient's safety.
