What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This large Phase 3 trial is testing whether a new drug called rilvegostomig, combined with bevacizumab and with or without tremelimumab, can help people with advanced liver cancer live longer. About 1,220 participants who cannot have surgery or other local treatments will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The study compares these new combinations to the current standard treatment (atezolizumab plus bevacizumab).

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
rilvegostomig, bevacizumab, tremelimumab, atezolizumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer, potentially improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial, so results are not guaranteed. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than existing treatments.
