Purpose: This multicenter, open-label, phase Ib/II study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab, a humanized, tetravalent, bispecific antibody plus lenvatinib in first-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed aHCC were included to receive either 6 mg/kg cadonilimab every 2 weeks plus lenvatinib (cohort A) or 15 mg/kg cadonilimab every 3 weeks plus lenvatinib (cohort B). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1, while the secondary endpoints were safety, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), and time to response (TTR). Results: A total of 59 patients were enrolled (31 in cohort A and 28 in cohort B). The median follow-up time was 27.4 months as of the data cutoff date (July 28, 2023). The ORR in cohort A was 35.5% (95% CI: 19.2, 54.6) and that in cohort B was 35.7% (95% CI: 18.6, 55.9), and the median DoR was 13.6 months (95% CI: 4.14, NE) and 13.67 months (95% CI: 3.52, NE), respectively. The median PFS was 8.6 months (95% CI: 5.2, 15.2) and 9.8 months (95% CI: 6.9, 15.2), respectively. The median OS was 27.1 months (95% C: 15.7, NE) for cohort A, while it was not reached for cohort B. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 66.1% of patients, with serious TRAEs occurring in 39.0% of cases. Decreased platelet count (47.5%), proteinuria (45.8%), hypertension (44.1%),...
