Recruiting PHASE2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma

New treatment option for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Official title Study of Tremelimumab and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) (T300+D) in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinomas With Child-Pugh-B Cirrhosis

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06526104

What this study is testing

What is Tremelimumab?

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

Also referred to as Imjudo.

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
This is a single-arm, phase II study of patients with advanced liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are eligible for first-line treatment with T300+D. The invesitgators hypothesize that T300+D will be safe and tolerated in CP-B patients with HCC.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
