New hope for rare liver cancer: drug duo targets tumor fuel

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Exclusion Criteria: * Must have had chemotherapy or other systemic therapy or radiotherapy, as follows: * Patients who have had chemotherapy, biological cancer therapy, or radiation 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * Patients who have had surgery within 28 days of dosing of investigational agent, excluding minor procedures. * Patients who have received other approved or investigational agents or device within 21 days of the first dose of study drug. * Patients who have not recovered from acute adverse events to grade ≤1 or baseline due to agents administered, with exception of grade 2 fatigue, rash, and endocrinopathy successfully managed hormone replacement therapy, or alopecia or stable neuropathy, unless approved by the investigational new drug (IND) Sponsor. * Patients with corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation \> 470 ms according to Fridericia formula. * Patients receiving potent inducers of Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP 3A4/5) (including apalutamide, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin, rifampin and St. John's Wort) that cannot be discontinued at least 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. * Known sensitivity to or history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of DRP-104 or durvalumab. * Subjects with interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity. * Has a pulse oximetry of \<92% on room air or is on supplemental home oxygen. * Active or untreated brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. * Uncontrolled intercurrent active medical and/or psychiatric illness/social psychosocial problems that that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmia, metastatic cancer, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS. * Has active hepatitis B.
