Targeted liver delivery of immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Treatments studied

Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.

This early-phase study tests how well giving ipilimumab directly into the liver (via an artery) and nivolumab through a vein works for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It is for people whose cancer cannot be removed with surgery or treated with a transplant, especially after standard treatment failed or wasn’t tolerated.

Study of a new drug for advanced liver cancer

This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments for adults with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for people who have not had prior systemic therapy and have good liver function.

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.

Immune therapy versus targeted therapy for advanced liver cancer

This trial compares an immune “checkpoint” medicine to a targeted cancer medicine in people with advanced liver cancer who have hepatitis B in the blood. It aims to lower hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and see which approach works better and is safest.
