Locally Advanced or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Dose Optimization, Safety, and Efficacy of Livmoniplimab in Combination with Budigalimab in Subjects Who Have Not Previously Received Systemic Treatment – LIVIGNO-2
EU CTIS ID: 2023-504600-28-00
What this study is testing
The primary objective for Stage 1 (Phase 2) is to select the optimal livmoniplimab dose in combination with budigalimab for the Phase 3 study in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic HCC who have not previously received systemic treatment for HCC. The primary objective for Stage 2 (Phase 3) is to evaluate the efficacy of the livmoniplimab and budigalimab combination as measured by OS in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic HCC who have not previously received systemic treatment for HCC.
