Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of two cancer-fighting antibodies and their effectiveness in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread too far to be removed by surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery and hasn't spread beyond the liver. Candidates must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, measurable disease, adequate organ function, no history of certain treatments or conditions that could interfere with the study, and agree to use contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Durvalumab and Tremelimumab after radioembolization in patients with unresectable liver cancer. These lab-made antibodies may boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer following targeted radiation therapy aimed at liver tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue, changes in blood counts which can affect overall health and increase infection risk. Each patient's experience may vary.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (durvalumab, tremelimumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo standard of care radioembolization with Yttrium-90 SIR-spheres intra-arterially over 60-90 minutes on day -14. Patients then receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour and tremelimumab IV over 1 hour on day 1. Cycles with durvalumab repeat every 4 weeks for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
