In plain English
This is a phase 3 study looking at rilvegostomig combined with bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab, as a first treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) that is advanced, has spread, or cannot be removed by surgery. It is funded by AstraZeneca.
Who can take part
- Advanced or spread-out liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery
- Able to carry out light activity or normal daily activities (performance status 0 or 1)
- Liver cancer stage B (not suitable for local treatments) or stage C, according to the BCLC system
- Good enough liver function (Child-Pugh class A)
- At least one tumour that can be measured on a scan
- People with active hepatitis B must have taken antiviral medicine for at least 14 days before joining, showing the virus is stable or responding
- People with hepatitis C must have it well controlled; people with both hepatitis B and C cannot take part
- Healthy enough organs and bone marrow, based on screening tests
- No previous whole-body (systemic) treatment for this cancer
- Cancer that cannot be cured by surgery or local treatments; if local treatment was given, it must have finished at least 28 days before the baseline scan
Who may not be able to
- Any uncontrolled other illnesses
- Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions needing long-term steroids or medicines that dampen the immune system
- History of another primary cancer
- Ongoing side effects from earlier cancer treatment (except hair loss) that have not got better
- Fluid build-up in the tummy, chest, or around the heart needing drainage or similar treatment within the last 6 months
- Primary immune deficiency or active infection
- History of confusion caused by liver disease (hepatic encephalopathy)
- Taking aspirin (325 mg a day or more) or certain blood-thinning medicines (dipyridamole, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, cilostazol) within the last 10 days
- Full-dose blood thinners or clot-busting drugs for treatment purposes within the last 10 days
- Significant bleeding disorders, inflamed blood vessels, or serious bleeding from the gut within the last 6 months
- Untreated or not fully treated swollen veins (varices) in the gullet that have bled or are at high risk of bleeding
- Certain rare liver cancer types (fibrolamellar, sarcomatoid, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and liver cancer)
- Cancer spread to the brain or spinal cord compression, even if treated and causing no symptoms
- Previous treatment with anti-CTLA-4 or anti-TIGIT medicines
- Radiotherapy within the last 28 days, or tummy or pelvic radiotherapy within the last 60 days (except palliative radiotherapy to bone within the last 7 days)

About This Trial
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, sponsor-blinded, 3-arm, multicentre, global study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig in combination with bevacizumab with or without tremelimumab compared to atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab. This study will be conducted in participants with advanced HCC who are not amenable to curative therapy or locoregional therapy
More detail
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of rilvegostomig in combination with bevacizumab with or without tremelimumab as first-line treatment in participants with advanced HCC. The study comprises 2 parts - a safety lead-in and a randomised period. Prior to the start of the randomised period of the study, a single-arm safety lead-in period will be applied to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rilvegostomig in combination with bevacizumab and tremelimumab.
