Recruiting PHASE2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Compares treatment options for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Official title STRIDE (Durvalumab + Tremelimumab) With Lenvatinib vs STRIDE Alone in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06880523

What this study is testing

What is STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab)?

STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.

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 purpose of this study is to compare the effects on participants' and liver cancer by adding a drug that is used on its own to treat this disease to a combination of two other drugs which is also used to treat liver cancer, compared to the two-drug combination alone.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
