About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center, Phase 2 Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ABSK-011 Plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) vs. Placebo Plus BSC in Previously Systemically Treated Advanced or Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients With FGF19 Overexpression

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABSK-011 plus BSC versus placebo plus BSC in advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with FGF19 overexpression who have received prior systemic therapy. Approximately 141 advanced or unresectable HCC patients with FGF19 overexpression who have received prior systemic therapy will be enrolled and randomized to experimental arm or control arm in a 2:1 ratio. Patients will receive assigned study treatment, every 28-day treatment cycle within 1 day of randomization until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, start of new anti-tumor therapy, death, patient refuse to continue treatment, loss to follow-up, or other reasons leading to treatment discontinuation. Immediate BICR review is required for patients with radiographic disease progression as assessed by the investigator. If disease progression is assessed by BICR, the investigator is allowed to unblind after disease progression according to the protocol-specified procedures. After unblinding, patients in the experimental arm, study drug should be discontinued. Patients in the control arm may be transferred to receive ABSK-011 plus BSC after assessment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ORR by BICR

    Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1, defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Patients who receive crossover treatment or start a new anti-tumor therapy prior to achieve an objective response (PR or CR) will be considered as non-responders.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. PFS

    Defined as the time (months) from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: through study completion, , up to 2 years

  2. DOR

    Defined as the time (months) from the first documented objective response to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  3. DCR

    Defined as the proportion of patients achieving CR, PR, or SD (meeting the minimum criteria for SD lasting at least 6 weeks).

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  4. TTP

    Defined as the time (months) from randomization to disease progression.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  5. TTR

    Defined as time (months) from randomization to first objective response.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  6. OS

    Defined as the time (months) from randomization to death due to any cause.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  7. ORR by investigator

    Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

  8. Adverse events

    Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and incidence of adverse events leading to dose interruption, dose reduction, and discontinuation of study treatment.

    Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, and physical examination and changes from baseline.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ABSK-011+BSC in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), run by Abbisko Therapeutics Co, Ltd at 51 sites in China.

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 13 inclusion and 22 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Xiaoping Chen (+86-027-83665312, chenxpchenxp@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ORR by BICR (time frame: through study completion, up to 2 years). 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 8 Jan 2026.
