What this trial studies

LIVER-R is a multicountry, multicenter observational study designed to gather real-world data on patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) and advanced biliary tract cancers (aBTC) treated with durvalumab-based regimens. The study aims to enroll approximately 2500 patients across 22 countries, collecting both primary data during routine clinical visits and secondary data from medical records. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of these treatments in terms of overall survival, while also assessing treatment patterns and other clinical outcomes over a follow-up period of up to three years.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or advanced biliary tract cancer who are being treated with a durvalumab-based regimen.

Not a fit: Patients currently participating in clinical trials for investigational treatments for hepatobiliary cancers may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of durvalumab-based therapies in real-world settings for patients with hepatobiliary cancers.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar observational approaches in capturing real-world data for cancer treatments, making this a promising avenue for further exploration.
