SIERRA Trial Summary
This trial will test a new cancer treatment to see if it is safe and effective for people with advanced liver cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who haven't had systemic therapy before. They should have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, good organ function, and measurable liver cancer lesions. It's open to those with certain stages of liver disease but excludes anyone with other active cancers, immune conditions, or severe heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of combining two drugs—Durvalumab and Tremelimumab—as a first-line treatment for HCC. These medications are given in a specific regimen called STRIDE to see if they can help control the cancer better than current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions that could affect organs like the liver or lungs, infusion reactions during drug administration, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.
