  2. Hepatic function: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5 × ULN.
  3. Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or eGFR≥60%,clearance of creatinine (CCr) ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft Gault formula);
  4. Blood coagulation function: international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
  5. Normal cardiac function with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥50% measured by two-dimensional echocardiography; 11. Patients were eligible for HAIC surgery as prespecified by the study center, without any contraindications, and could receive HAIC treatment.

  12. Male or female patients of childbearing potential volunteered to use an effective method of contraception, such as dual barrier methods, condoms, oral or injectable contraceptives, intrauterine devices, etc. during the study and for 6 months after the last study medication. "All female patients will be considered fertile unless they have undergone natural menopause, artificial menopause, or sterilization (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral adnophorectomy, or radioactive ovarian irradiation)."

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. Participated in other clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs within 4 weeks before enrollment.

  2. History of liver resection, TACE treatment, and any previous immune or targeted therapy; 3. Liver metastases of 70% or more of the total liver volume as determined by the investigator.

  4. History of prior or planned any organ transplantation. 5. Patients with obstructive jaundice who did not reduce jaundice as expected. 6. Other malignant tumors in the past 5 years, excluding basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin after radical surgery, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.

  7. Patients with confirmed or suspected symptomatic active brain or meningeal metastases.

  8. Received any surgery (except biopsy) or invasive treatment or operation within 4 weeks before enrollment and the surgical incision was not completely healed (except venous catheterization, puncture drainage, etc.).

  9. Electrolyte abnormalities that were judged by the investigator to be clinically significant..

  10. Patients have current drug-uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg.

  11. Urine routine test showed urinary protein ≥2+, and 24 h urinary protein amount >1.0g.

  12. Patients whose tumors were judged by the investigator to be highly likely to invade vital blood vessels and cause fatal bleeding during the follow-up study.

  13. Patients with evidence or history of significant bleeding tendency within 3 months before enrollment (bleeding within 3 months >30 mL, hematemesis, melena, hematochezia), hemoptysis (within 4 weeks>5 mL of fresh blood); Patients with a history of hereditary or acquired bleeding or coagulopathy. Patients had clinically significant bleeding symptoms or clear bleeding tendency within 3 months before enrollment, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, etc.

  14. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to acute myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, or coronary artery bypass grafting within 6 months before enrollment; New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of congestive heart failure >Grade 2; Ventricular arrhythmias requiring medical therapy; Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed QT c interval ≥480 msec.

  15. Women who are pregnant (with a positive pregnancy test before medication) or breastfeeding.

  16. Any other medical condition, clinically significant metabolic abnormality, physical examination abnormality, or laboratory abnormality in which there is reason to suspect that the patient has a disease or condition (e.g., having seizures requiring treatment) that would be inappropriate for use of the study drug, or that would affect interpretation of the study results or place the patient at high risk, in the investigator's judgment.

  17. Severe active or uncontrolled infection (≥CTCAE grade 2 infection), known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; Known history of clinically significant liver disease, including viral hepatitis [known hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers must exclude active HBV infection, i.e., HBV DNA positive (> 1×104 copies /mL or >2000 IU/ mL), known hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with positive HCV RNA (>1×103 copies /mL), or other hepatitis, cirrhosis.
