Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma With High Risk of Recurrence

Exclusion Criteria

• •Histologically/cytologically confirmed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, etc.
• •History of hepatic encephalopathy or liver transplantation.
• •Clinically symptomatic pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion requiring drainage. Subjects with only radiologically detected minimal pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion without symptoms can be enrolled.
• •Acute or chronic active hepatitis B or C infection, with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA \>2000IU/ml or 10\^4 copies/ml; hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA \>10\^3 copies/ml; co-positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and anti-HCV antibody. Subjects who meet the above criteria after antiviral treatment with nucleoside analogs can be enrolled.
• •History of esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding due to portal hypertension within the past 6 months. Subjects assessed by the investigator to be at high risk of bleeding.
• •Any life-threatening bleeding event within the past 3 months, including those requiring blood transfusion, surgery or local treatment, or continuous drug treatment.
• •History or current diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, drug-related pneumonia, severe impairment of lung function, and other lung diseases.
• •Active pulmonary tuberculosis, currently receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment, or received anti-tuberculosis treatment within 1 year prior to the first dose.
• •Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (such as disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants) within 2 years prior to the first dose. Replacement therapy (such as thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is allowed. History of primary immunodeficiency. Patients with only autoantibody positivity need to be confirmed by the investigator whether there is an autoimmune disease.
• •History of arterial or venous thromboembolic events within the past 6 months, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or any other serious thromboembolic events. Exceptions are made for thrombosis formation related to implanted venous infusion ports or catheters, or superficial vein thrombosis that has stabilized after routine anticoagulation treatment. Preventive use of low-dose low molecular weight heparin (such as enoxaparin 40 mg/day) is allowed.
• •Continuous use of aspirin (\>325 mg/day) or other known platelet function inhibitors such as clopidogrel or ticlopidine for 10 days within 2 weeks prior to the first dose.
• •Uncontrolled hypertension, with systolic blood pressure ≥150mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100mmHg after optimal medical treatment, history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
• •Major surgery (craniotomy, thoracotomy, or laparotomy) or unhealed wound, ulcer, or fracture within 4 weeks prior to the first dose. Minor surgical procedures or tissue biopsy within 7 days prior to the first dose, excluding venous puncture for the purpose of intravenous infusion, are excluded.
• •Uncontrolled/uncorrectable metabolic disorders or other non-malignant organ diseases or systemic diseases or secondary reactions to cancer, which can lead to higher medical risk and/or uncertainty in survival evaluation, or other conditions judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for enrollment.
• •History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within the previous 6 months, history of intestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection (partial colectomy or extensive small bowel resection complicated by chronic diarrhea), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or long-term chronic diarrhea.
