Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Hepatectomy is a curable and effective method. However, the recurrence rate is as high as 50%\~70% in 5 years after surgery. Perioperative treatment with immunotherapy combined with target therapy is expected to improve the patient's prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate 2 year event-free survival(2y-EFS) of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ib-IIIa). The secondary research purpose is to evaluate the R0 resection rate, the rate of subjects with major pathological response, the rate of subjects with pathological complete response, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The safety and tolerability is also evaluated.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. This trial includes subjects with CNLC Ib/IIa/IIb/IIIa HCC. All eligible subjects will be randomized (1:1) to experimental group or control group. In the experimental group, patients will be treated with following: neoadjuvant therapy ( perioperative TACE treatment,camrelizumab and apatinib, 2 cycles), radical surgery, adjuvant therapy (camrelizumab and apatinib, 6 cycles); in the control group, patients will be treated with following: radical surgery,adjuvant therapy (camrelizumab and apatinib, 6 cycles). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate 2 year event-free survival(2y-EFS) of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate in the perioperative period of hepatocellular carcinoma (CNLC Ib-IIIa).

RECRUITING2 year event-free survival(2y-EFS)
2y-EFS is defined as time from randomization to any of the following events: progression of disease that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, or death due to any cause.
Time frame: 2-year
R0 resection rate
R0 resection rate
Time frame: 30-day
The rate of subjects of major pathological response (MPR)
MPR is defined as less than 10% residual tumor after neoadjuvant therapy of camrelizumab and apatinib therapy.
Time frame: 30-day
the rate of subjects with pathological complete response (pCR)
pCR is defined as no histologic evidence of malignancy or only the ingredients of carcinoma in situ was found in primary tumors.
Time frame: 30-day
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomisation to death.
Time frame: 3-year
Event-free survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time from randomisation to tumor progression, postoperative relaspse or metastasis, or death, which occur first.
Time frame: 3-year
Disease-free survival (DFS)
DFS is defined as the time from randomization until disease recurrence or death from any cause.
Time frame: 3-year
Adverse event (AE)
Adverse events (AEs) ; serious adverse events (SAEs); surgery related safety.
Time frame: 3-year
