Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) as graded by NCI CTCAE

    Screening visit, up to 2 years

  • Assessment of tumor response of target lesion where RZ-001 is administered based on the RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years

  • Overall response rate based on RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Assessment of tumor response of non-target lesions, besides the target lesion where RZ-001 is administered based on the RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years

  • Duration of response (DOR)

    Screening visit, every 2 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 6 weeks) until week 54 & every 3 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks, 9 weeks) after week 54, up to 2 years
