Summary

This study aimed to test a new experimental drug called BC3402 combined with two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data on safety or effectiveness were collected. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors and improve survival.
