This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) combined with QL1706 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have received one prior line of systemic therapy and experienced radiographic disease progression or intolerance.
Eligible patients will receive SBRT to all evaluable intrahepatic lesions at a total dose of 25-50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. Within 7-14 days after completion of SBRT, patients will receive QL1706 at 7.5 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Treatment with QL1706 will continue until confirmed disease progression, intolerable toxicity, patient request to withdraw, withdrawal of informed consent, or other protocol-defined treatment discontinuation criteria, whichever occurs first.
The primary endpoint is objective response rate assessed by the investigator according to modified RECIST criteria. Secondary endpoints include local control rate of SBRT target lesions, progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, and the incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events. Exploratory endpoints include dynamic changes in serum tumor biomarkers and immune-related indicators, as well as their association with clinical outcomes. A total of 36 patients are planned for enrollment.
