Participation Criteria
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
• Technically resectable HCC as defined by:
- HCC may be diagnosed pathologically, or noninvasively by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria or the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) Obligatory Diagnostic Criteria for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
No extrahepatic spread, no nodal disease, and no bilateral left and right branch portal vein involvement.
- Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigator.
- Age ≥ 18 years old on the day of consent.
- ECOG performance status ≤1 or Karnofsky ≥80.
- Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined by study-specified laboratory tests prior to initial study drug.
- Patients must have adequate liver remnant and function.
- Antiviral therapy per local standard of care for hepatitis B.
- LVEF assessment with documented LVEF ≥ 50% by either TTE or MUGA (TTE preferred) within 6 months from first study drug administration.
- Woman of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
- Must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Fibrolamellar carcinoma or mixed HCC.
- Receiving, or previously received, any systemic chemotherapy, or investigational agent for HCC.
- Patients with a history of prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA4, or anti-Lag-3 antibodies.
- Has a known additional malignancy that is expected to require active treatment within two years, or is likely to be life-limiting in the opinion of the treating investigator. Superficial bladder cancer, non-melanoma skin cancers, or low grade prostate cancer not requiring therapy would not exclude participation in this trial.
- History of HIV infection.
- Active co-infection with HBV and HDV.
- Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency, or is receiving systemic steroid therapy.
- Prior tissue or organ allograft or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
- History of any autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years.

- Confirmed history of encephalitis, meningitis, or uncontrolled seizures in the year prior to informed consent.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.•
- Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease.
- Significant heart disease.
- Moderate or severe ascites.
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study treatment.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

- Unable to have blood drawn.
- Any other sound medical, psychiatric, and/or social reason as determined by the Investigator.
- Any illicit drugs or other substance abuse.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A - Nivolumab
Participants receive Nivolumab only.

Objective response rate (ORR) at 8 weeks
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
ORR is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) at any time during the study.
CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
