Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (BCLC B or C), Child-Pugh A or B ≤7, suitable performance status, and no prior anti-HCC treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant cardiovascular risks, active other malignancies, decompensated liver function, or those not meeting eligibility criteria may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2, open-label, randomized trial enrolling 60 adults with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Participants are assigned to receive either radiotherapy with immunotherapy and bevacizumab or immunotherapy with bevacizumab alone. The study aims to compare tumor response and the rate at which patients become eligible for surgery between the two groups. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the treatment period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination with radiotherapy could improve tumor control and increase the chance of surgical conversion for some patients.
How similar studies have gone: Similar approaches with radiotherapy plus immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy have shown promising signals in liver cancer, but results vary and further confirmation is needed.
