Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • - Signed informed consent.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histologically or radiologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or unresectable HCC.
  • BCLC B or C HCC.
  • Child-Pugh A (score 5 or 6).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score 0 or 1.
  • Planned first-line treatment of advanced/uHCC with STRIDE.

Exclusion criteria

  • - Any previous line of systemic therapy for HCC.
  • Any prior or concomitant immunotherapy.
  • Prior allogeneic organ or bone marrow transplant.
  • Documented active or previous GI bleeding within the previous 12 months.
  • Main trunk portal vein thrombosis.
  • Autoimmune disease requiring treatment with immunosuppressive medication.
  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the STRIDE excipients.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Treatment and study plan

STRIDE

Drug

Tremelimumab 300 mg as a single dose administered in combination with durvalumab 1500 mg at Cycle 1/Day 1, followed by durvalumab monotherapy every 4 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time To Decompensation (TTDec)

    Time frame: From index date to first hepatic decompensation/study completion, up to 30 months

    time from index date (start of new treatment) to the first occurrence of events such as ascites of any grade according to the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) classification, hepatic encephalopathy of any grade according to West Haven classification, variceal hemorrhage, or jaundice (total bilirubin >3 mg/dL).

    In Child-Pugh (CP)-A participants with a score of 6 at index date, TTDec is defined as the time from index date to any worsening in ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal hemorrhage, or jaundice (defined as an increase in total bilirubin to greater than 3 mg/dL or a worsening of more than 1.0 mg/dL from index date).

    At the time of decompensation (± 30 days) a CT scan should be performed to exclude worsening of liver function due to tumor progression.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time To Worsening (TTWors)

    Time frame: Baseline and every 8 weeks during treatment, up to 30 months

    Time To Worsening (TTWors) based on the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-HCC18 PROs within the first 18 months of treatment. TTWors is the time from first treatment to first clinically meaningful deterioration confirmed at a subsequent visit/assessment or death from any cause. A clinically meaningful change (deterioration or improvement) is defined as an absolute change ≥ 10 points in total score from index date.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: From index date through study completion, up to 30 months

    time from first treatment to death

  3. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From index date until tumor progression, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

    time from first treatment to radiologic evidence of tumor progression or death based on investigator assessment (RECIST v1.1).

  4. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: From index date until objective tumor progression, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

    proportion of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1.

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: From index date until objective tumor progression or date of death, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

    proportion of participants with a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. (stable disease needs to be maintained for a minimum of 8 weeks to be included in the DCR).

  6. Downstaging

    Time frame: From index date until study completion, up to 30 months

    Proportion of participants who undergo liver transplant following downstaging with the STRIDE regimen

  7. safety

    Time frame: From index date until study completion, up to 33 months

    Adverse events: severity, seriousness, causality, action taken with durvalumab, and outcome.

Other outcomes

  1. TTDec subgroups

    Time frame: From index date to first hepatic decompensation/study completion, up to 30 months

    defined for the primary outcome within the first 18 months of treatment by:

    • Baseline ALBI grade (1 vs 2 or 3)
    • Cirrhosis at baseline (yes vs no)
    • Signs of portal hypertension at baseline, i.e., splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia and presence of collateral circulation, or porto-systemic shunts (yes vs no)
