For HBV-infected patients, antiviral therapy is required throughout the study. Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA-positive subjects must receive antiviral therapy as per treatment guidelines; 11. Women of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test (βHCG) before starting the first dose. Women of childbearing potential and men (who have sex with women of childbearing potential) must agree to use contraception during treatment and for 6 months of the last dose.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (QL1706) in combination with Regorafenib in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), run by Huai'an First People's Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective response rate (time frame: At the end of Cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2025.
