New treatment option for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official title Cryoablation and Arterial Infusion of SD-101 in Combination With Durvalumab and Tremelimumab
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06710223
What this study is testing
What is SD-101?
SD-101 is an investigational medicine, given as a monthly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Also referred to as nelitolimod.
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 Phase 1b clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation and hepatic arterial administration of SD-101 in participants with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. After this procedure, participants will be treated with tremelimumab and durvalumab every 4 weeks (STRIDE regimen).
