Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 75 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• \) Age 18-75 (inclusive) on the day of singing informed consent, male or female.
• \) Voluntarily agree to provide signed informed consent and are willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol 3) Subjects in each disease cohorts will need to fulfill the following criteria:
• HCC Cohort:
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC, or clinical diagnosis of HCC as per American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria
• \. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage C, or BCLC Stage B that is not suitable for any curative surgeries or locoregional therapy
• Child-Pugh Liver Function Class A or Class B (score ≤ 7)
• Documented first-line standard treatment failure (disease progression or intolerance)；
• nccRCC Cohort：Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of nccRCC，that is locally advanced or with distant metastasis, and have not received any prior systemic antitumor therapy. If disease progression occurs within 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant therapy, it is considered a failure of first-line treatment and thus does not meet the criteria.
• ccRCC Cohort：Histologically or cytologically confirmed ccRCC, with locally advanced unresectable disease or distant metastasis, and disease progression or intolerance after prior first-line therapy. Patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy may also be screened if they meet the above criteria.
• \) Eligible for treatment with Nivolumab as determined by investigators according to the Package Insert and clinical judgment.
• \) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1 within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention 6) Life expectancy in the judgement of the Investigator \> 12 weeks. 7) Patients must have at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigator, and that has not been the target of local or regional therapy such as radiotherapy; a new area of tumor progression within or adjacent to a previously treated lesion, if clearly measurable by a radiologist, is acceptable.
• \) Any adverse events (AEs) related to prior anti-tumor therapy must have resolved to ≤ Grade 1 (CTCAE v6.0). However, patients may still be screened if the investigator determines that the toxicity is well-controlled and does not affect the patient's safety or compliance with the study drug, and this has been confirmed with the sponsor.
• \) Collection of an archived tissue sample will be requested (where available) or agree to undergo tumor tissue biopsy for biomarker testing; however, a subject will not be precluded from participating in the study if tissue sample is not available for collection or is otherwise insufficient for analysis.
• \) Patients must have adequate organ function as defined below:
• For patients with no liver metastasis or lesion: AST and ALT ≤2.0× ULN, and total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; For patients with liver metastasis or lesion: AST and ALT ≤3.0× ULN, and total bilirubin ≤2×ULN; For patients with Gilbert Syndrome: Total bilirubin ≤3×ULN

You may not qualify if:

• \) Pregnant or breastfeeding patients or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study 2) For the HCC Cohort, any of the following criteria：
• Locoregional therapy to liver within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, including but not limited to TACE, radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, microwave (except palliative radiotherapy for bone pain relief completed at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose).
• Fibrolamellar carcinoma, sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma or mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma；
• \. Complete occlusion of the major portal vein or vena cava due to HCC (The major portal vein is defined as the part of portal vein between the union of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins and the first bifurcation into the left and right vein) 3) Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention. 4) Currently participating in and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention (except for observational clinical trials) 5) Small molecule targeted therapy and traditional Chinese medicine with antitumor indications received within 2 weeks prior to the first dose, or chemotherapy, biological therapy, and other antitumor treatments received within 4 weeks prior to the first dose 6) Received systemic corticosteroid (prednisone \>10mg/day or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention. Inhale or local corticosteroid, or pre-medications for infusion-related reactions/ hypersensitivity is allowed.

• \) Clinically significant bleeding risks including:
