Phase III Study of Rilvegostomig and Bevacizumab, With or Without Tremelimumab, for First-line Treatment of Liver Cancer

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06921785

This clinical trial is testing a new combination of drugs, including rilvegostomig and bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab, to see if they are effective and safe as a first treatment for advanced liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or local therapies.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if a new combination of drugs, rilvegostomig and bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab, can effectively treat advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with local therapies. The trial is divided into two parts: an initial safety phase to check the safety of the drug combination, followed by a randomized phase to compare the new treatment with the current standard treatment of atezolizumab and bevacizumab.

Description

This study is designed to evaluate how well the combination of rilvegostomig and bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab, works as a first treatment for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC). The study will first test the safety of these drugs together in a small group of participants. After confirming safety, the study will compare the effectiveness of this new treatment against the standard treatment of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in a larger group of participants. The goal is to see if the new combination can better control the cancer and improve patient outcomes.
