Brief Summary

This study is being done to analyze the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of treatment using combination of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Conditions

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  Up to 30 days after last treatment dose

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Objective response rate(ORR)

  2 years

• Progression free survival(PFS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

  2 years

• To the relief time (TOR)

  2 years

• Duration of relief(DOR)

  2 years

• Disease Control Rate (DCR)

  2 years
