Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06921785RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy for first-line liver cancer treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination (rilvegostomig plus bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab) as a first treatment for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with local therapies. It aims to see if these combinations help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06880523RecruitingPhase 2
Adding lenvatinib to immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests adding lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill) to a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the three-drug approach works better than the two immunotherapy drugs alone.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06794073Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial is testing a combination of treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), an immunotherapy that boosts your immune system (PD-1 blocker), a procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold (ablation), and a chemo procedure that delivers medicine directly to the liver (TACE). The goal is to see if this mix is safe and effective.
