Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With Penpulimab Injection for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma at High Risk of Recurrence.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Phase 3 Study of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With Penpulimab Injection in Patients With High Risk of Relapse After Radical Surgery or Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of anlotinib hydrochloride capsules combined with penpulimab injection (test group) versus placebo (control group) for adjuvant therapy after radical surgery or ablation in HCC patients with high risk of recurrence by assessing recurrence-free survival (RFS).
