- description
- Stage I:Subjects (n=3) in cohort A received oral sorafenib (400 mg qd), in combination with intravenous toripalimab (240 mg d1, q3w). Subjects (n=3) in cohort B received oral sorafenib (400 mg bid) and the administration of toripalimab is consistent with cohort A. If dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) does not occur within 42 days of the first administration, the dose is escalated. Stage II: According to the expansion dose based on stage I, subjects are enlarged to 39.

HCV and the anti-HCV treatment ended within 4 weeks of the first administration. Notably, subjects with untreated chronic HCV infection or untreated HCV are allowed. 12. History of drug abuse or mental disorders 13.
