  • No previous systematic treatment and locoregional therapy for HCC prior to randomization
  • Absence of major macrovascular invasion
  • No extrahepatic spread
  • Full recovery from Curative resection or ablation within 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • High risk for HCC recurrence after resection or ablation

  • Known history of serious allergy to any monoclonal antibody or targeted anti-angiogenic drug
  • Subjects with inadequately controlled hypertension or history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
  • Thrombosis or thromboembolic event within 6 months prior to the start of study treatment
  • Known genetic or acquired hemorrhage or thrombotic tendency
  • Abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intraperitoneal abscess within 6 months prior to the start of study treatment

Treatment and study plan

Camrelizumab

Drug

Subjects receive Camrelizumab intravenously, Dosage form: lyophilized powder

Rivoceranib (Apatinib)

Drug

Subjects receive Rivoceranib (Apatinib) orally, Dosage form: tablet

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS), as Determined by the blinded independent review committee (BIRC)

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 43 months

    RFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented occurrence of local, regional, or metastatic HCC as determined by BIRC, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

Secondary outcomes

  1. RFS Rate at 24 and 36 Months, as Assessed by the Investigator

    Time frame: Randomization up to 24 months and up to 36 months

  2. Time to Recurrence (TTR) as determined by the investigator and by BIRC

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 43 months

    TTR defined as the time from randomization to first documented occurrence of local, regional, or metastatic HCC

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 43 months

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause

  4. The incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Time frame: Baseline up to approximately 43 months
