Conditions

Summary

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This Phase 1 study is comparing a biosimilar version of ipilimumab (a checkpoint immunotherapy drug) — called HLX13 — to the brand-name version (YERVOY) in people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery. A biosimilar is essentially a near-identical copy of an approved biological medicine. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 65 years old and weigh between 50 and 85 kg - You have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confirmed by tissue biopsy - Your liver cancer is advanced — meaning it cannot be surgically removed or has progressed after local treatment - Your overall health and liver function are adequate for immunotherapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are outside the specified age or weight range - Your cancer is at an early stage that could be cured with surgery or local ablation - Your liver function or organ health does not meet the study's requirements Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGHLX13

Patients will receive HLX13 (3 mg/kg) treatment on the first day of each 3-week cycle, up to 4 cycles.

DRUGYervoy

Patients will receive US-sourced YERVOY® (3 mg/kg) treatment on the first day of each 3-week cycle, up to 4 cycles.

DRUGOPDIVO

Patients will receive EU-sourced OPDIVO® (EU-sourced nivolumab) (1 mg/kg) treatment on the first day of each 3-week cycle, up to 4 cycles. Subjects who may continue to benefit from OPDIVO® treatment as assessed by investigators will be subsequently treated with local-sourced OPDIVO® monotherapy every 4 weeks, up to 2 year after randomization.
