Summary
This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two cancer treatments in adult patients with advanced liver cancer after Therasphere® treatment.
Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) who are not candidates for transplant or surgery. They must have a good performance status, measurable disease, and well-managed HIV or hepatitis if present. Women of childbearing age and sexually active men must use two contraception methods. Excluded are those with recent cancers, dialysis patients, untreated brain metastases, vaccine recipients within 28 days, pregnant/nursing women, allergy to trial drugs/components, prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy users.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Therasphere® (Y90 radiotherapy) followed by either immunotherapy (Atezolizumab + Bevacizumab) or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Lenvatinib/Cabozantinib). The goal is to see which treatment better prevents liver cancer from progressing.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions due to Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab such as inflammation in organs; high blood pressure; bleeding issues; fatigue; liver problems from Y90 therapy; and hand-foot syndrome typically associated with TKI's.
