ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07490262

What this study is testing

What is Bevacizumab?

Bevacizumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc).

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 study is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter, seamless Phase II/III trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of IBI310 and sintilimab in participants with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are: (1) treatment-naive to systemic therapy; and (2) either unsuitable for curative-intent surgical resection or local therapy, or have experienced disease progression following prior surgical resection or local therapy.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
