Recruiting PHASE1 Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

New treatment option for Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Official title SIRT With Tremelimumab and Durvalumab for Resectable HCC

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05701488

What this study is testing

What is Durvalumab?

Durvalumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Also referred to as Imjudo, MEDI4736.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tremelimumab and durvalumab with or without Selective Internal Yttrium-90 Radioembolization (SIRT) in participants with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who will undergo liver surgery. The names of the interventions involved in this study are: Durvalumab (a type of immunotherapy) Tremelimumab (a type of immunotherapy) Selective Internal Yttrium-90 Radioembolization (SIRT) (a type of radiation microsphere bead)
