This is a Phase II multicenter clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of durvalumab and tremelimumab for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who have cirrhosis or portal hypertension and are listed for a liver transplant. Patients will receive treatment with immunotherapy (durvalumab and tremelimumab) for up to four months prior to undergoing a liver transplant. If you or a loved one is dealing with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC) and is listed for a liver transplant, we have an opportunity that may interest you. Our team is conducting a Phase II multicenter clinical trial to explore a new treatment avenue that could significantly impact your journey toward recovery. This trial is specifically designed for HCC patients who also have cirrhosis or portal hypertension. We are investigating the safety and efficacy of two immunotherapy drugs, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab. These drugs have shown promise in advanced liver cancer cases, and our trial aims to understand their potential to improve outcomes for patients like you who are preparing for a liver transplant. As a participant, you would receive immunotherapy treatment with Durvalumab and Tremelimumab for up to four months before your scheduled liver transplant. This approach is based on the latest scientific insights and aims to harness your body’s immune system to fight the cancer more effectively. We understand that the journey through liver cancer treatment is challenging, and deciding to participate in a clinical trial is a significant step. Our team is committed to ensuring your safety and well-being throughout the trial. By joining us, you would be accessing potentially groundbreaking treatment and contributing to medical research that could benefit many others in similar situations. We invite you to consider this opportunity and would be happy to provide more detailed information and answer any questions you may have.
