In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of death from cancer world wide and the incidence is rising globally. Despite surgical resection in appropriate patients, many patients recur. The results of the IMbrave150 study have established PD-L1 inhibition in combination with VEGF inhibition as a new standard of care highlighting the role of immune checkpoint inhibition in advanced HCC. In addition, the combination of Tremelimumab and Durvalumab has demonstrated efficacy in advanced HCC; the HIMALAYA trial has now completed accrual in treatment naïve patients with advanced HCC. Furthermore the earlier use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in this disease are being explored with adjuvant combination strategies, including the EMERALD-2 trial (NCT03847428). Neoadjuvant treatment in HCC allows for delivery of treatment pre surgery and may enhance pathological responses and i

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: For inclusion in the study, patients should fulfil the following criteria at time of study enrolment or when indicated: 1. Patient must be capable of providing written informed consent. 2. Age \>18 years at time of study entry 3. Histologically proven resectable HCC (early and intermediate stage HCC)\* 4. Must consent to provide biopsy sample prior to treatment 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1 6. Childs Pugh score of 5 or 6 7. ALBI grade 1† 8. Patients with HBV infection, which is characterized by positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBcAb) with detectable HBV DNA (≥10 IU/ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard), must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional practice, to ensure adequate viral suppression (HBV DNA ≤2000 IU/mL) prior to study entry. Patients must remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. Patients who test positive for anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) with undetectable HBV DNA (\<10 IU/ml or under limit of detection per local lab standard) do not require anti-viral therapy prior to study entry. These subjects will be tested at every cycle to monitor HBV DNA levels and initiate antiviral therapy if HBV DNA is detected (≥10 IU/ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard). HBV DNA detectable subjects must initiate and remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. 9. Patients with HCV infection must have management of this disease per local institutional practice throughout the study. HCV diagnosis is characterized by the presence of detectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or anti-HCV antibody upon enrollment. 10. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. 11. Female of childbearing potential and non-sterilized male partners of a female patient of childbearing potential must agree to use effective method of contraception from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the drug treatment and 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. (See exclusion #22 for definition of effective method of contraception). 12. Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below within screening period: * Haemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC ≥1.0 × 109 /L) * Platelet count ≥65 × 109/L * Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). \<\<This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician. * AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal * Measured creatinine clearance (CL) \>40 mL/min or Calculated creatinine clearance CL\>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance: Males: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) / 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) Females: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) x 0.85 / 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) \- Albumin ≥2.8g/dl \- International normalized ratio ≤1. (for patients receiving Warfarin, please consult with the study physician) 13. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. 14. Body weight \> 30kg Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC. 2\. Any prior therapy for HCC - except liver resection or ablation on one occasion only which was given with curative intent and that occurred at least two years prior to study enrolment. 3\. Evidence of distant metastasis co-existing malignant disease or macrovascular invasion on baseline imaging. 4\. History of hepatic encephalopathy within 12 months prior to enrolment or requirement for medications to prevent or control encephalopathy (no lactulose, rifaximin, etc, if used for purposes of hepatic encephalopathy). 5\. Evidence of portal vein thrombosis, visible on baseline/eligibility imaging, and patients with Vp1, Vp2, Vp3 and Vp4. 6\. Clinically meaningful ascites, defined as ascites requiring non-pharmacologic intervention (eg, paracentesis) to maintain symptomatic control, within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. (a) Patients with ascites who have required pharmacologic intervention (eg, diuretics) and who have been on stable doses of diuretics for ascites for ≥2 months before enrolment are eligible. 7\. Any history of nephrotic or nephritic syndrome. 8. Evidence of symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association II to IV) or symptomatic or poorly controlled cardiac arrhythmia. 9\. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[except for diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[e.g., granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, and uveitis\]). The following are exceptions to this criterion: (a) Patients with vitiligo or alopecia (b) Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome), stable on hormone replacement (c) Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy (d) Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the Study Physician (e) Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone 10.
