ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05063565

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment approach for liver cancer (HCC) using TheraSphere, followed by the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab and tremelimumab, to see if it can effectively control tumors in patients who cannot undergo surgery or other standard treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The ROWAN study aims to find out if using TheraSphere, a type of radiation therapy, followed by the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab and tremelimumab, can help control liver cancer (HCC) in patients who are not eligible for surgery, thermal ablation, or liver transplant. This is a global Phase II trial that will assess the safety and effectiveness of this treatment combination.

Description

This study is a global, open-label Phase II trial that will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TheraSphere, a targeted radiation therapy, followed by the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab and tremelimumab in patients with liver cancer (HCC) who cannot have surgery, thermal ablation, or a liver transplant. The trial will take place at multiple centers worldwide and aims to determine if this combination can effectively control tumors in these patients.
