Study Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of different combinations of drugs for treating advanced liver cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced liver cancer who have either not responded to, cannot tolerate, or chose not to use sorafenib or similar drugs. It's also open to those who haven't had any systemic therapy for their cancer. People can't join if they've had certain complications like ascites needing intervention, hepatic encephalopathy, major blood vessel thrombosis in the liver, active autoimmune diseases, recent immunosuppressive meds use, or gastrointestinal bleeding within the last year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing different treatments: Durvalumab alone; Tremelimumab alone; and combinations of Durvalumab with Tremelimumab or Bevacizumab. The goal is to see how safe these treatments are and how well they work against advanced liver cancer by monitoring tumor response and changes in the body's immune system.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions that could affect organs like lungs or intestines (pneumonitis or colitis), infusion reactions during treatment administration, fatigue from treatment burden on the body, potential bleeding issues due to drug effects on blood vessels and clotting mechanisms.
