About This Trial

This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, sponsor-blinded, 3-arm, multicentre, global study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig in combination with bevacizumab with or without tremelimumab compared to atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab. This study will be conducted in participants with advanced HCC who are not amenable to curative therapy or locoregional therapy

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 1,220 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Locally advanced or metastatic and/or unresectable HCC - WHO/You should be able to carry out daily activities with 0 level of ability (ECOG 0) or 1 - BCLC stage B (that is not eligible for locoregional therapy) or stage C. - Child-Pugh Score class A - At least one measurable target lesion - Participants with active HBV infection must receive antiviral therapy for a minimum of 14 days prior to randomization to show evidence of HBV stabilization or signs of viral response. - Participants with active HCV infection must be well controlled. Participants co-infected with HBV and HCV are not eligible. - Adequate organ and bone marrow function measured during the screening period. - Adequate organ and bone marrow function measured during the screening period - Must not have received previous cancer treatment that works throughout the body (like chemotherapy) for intermediate, advanced, or metastatic HCC. - Disease that is not amenable to curative surgical and/or locoregional therapies. For participants who received locoregional therapy for HCC, locoregional therapy must have been completed ≥ 28 days prior to the baseline scan for the current study. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: Medical condition - Any evidence of uncontrolled intercurrent diseases - Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders requiring chronic treatment with steroids or other immunosuppressive treatment - History of another primary malignancy - Persistent toxicities caused by previous anti-cancer therapy excluding alopecia, not yet improved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. - Clinically meaningful ascites, pleural effusion, or pericardial effusion requiring non-pharmacologic intervention to maintain symptomatic control within 6 months prior to the first scheduled dose. - History of active primary weakened immune system or active infection - History of hepatic encephalopathy ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06921785), the sponsor (AstraZeneca), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
