Phase 1/2, Safety Confirmation and Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Study of Relatlimab in Combination with Nivolumab and Bevacizumab in Treatment-naive Advanced/Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (RELATIVITY-106)
This is a safety and efficacy study to evaluate a drug called relatlimab in combination with two other drugs, nivolumab and bevacizumab, for the treatment of people with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer. The main goal is to confirm that the drug combination is safe for people to take. Neither the patients nor the doctors will know who is taking the actual drug combination and who is taking a placebo. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the drug combination group or the placebo group. The investigational drug being studied is relatlimab, an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells. Nivolumab is another immunotherapy drug already approved for some cancers. Bevacizumab is a drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. The study is only for people who have not previously been treated for their hepatocellular carcinoma.
Metastatic:
Cancer that has spread from its original location or organ to other parts of the body.
Advanced:
Advanced cancer means that the cancer cells from the original tumor (primary tumor) get loose, spread by traveling through the body, and start a new tumor (metastatic tumor) somewhere else in the body.
A placebo is a substance or treatment that has no active medical properties but is given to a patient as if it were a real medication or treatment. It is often used in medical research to compare the effects of a new drug or treatment with the effects of no treatment at all. The idea is to see if the new drug or treatment is genuinely effective by comparing how patients who receive the real treatment fare compared to those who receive the placebo

A Multi-Cohort Exploratory Study of Neoadjuvant Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Resectable NSCLC, HCC, and HNSCC.
Some patients have a tumor that is “resectable,” which means that it is able to be removed with surgery. For these cases, doctors have created the medicine called Cemiplimab, which can treat cancer by working with your immune system. This research study will study how well the drug Cemiplimab works on resectable Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other cancers. Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody which is an immune therapy. The immune system helps fight cancer by sending the body's defense (immune) system to kill the cancer cells. Immunotherapy drugs target cancer cells to prevent them from multiplying and growing. Doctors will measure how well this treatment works on delaying potential surgery and how the immune system responds after taking this medicine.

IMbrave152: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating Atezolizumab And Bevacizumab, With or without Tiragolumab, in Patients with Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma ("SKYSCRAPER-14").
This is a Phase III research study called IMbrave152, also known as "SKYSCRAPER-14." It's a large-scale study designed to compare different treatment combinations for patients who have not received any prior treatment for their locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer). Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab are two drugs that work in different ways to fight cancer. Atezolizumab boosts the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells, while bevacizumab targets the blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumors, which can help shrink them. Tiragolumab is another drug being tested in this trial. It's being evaluated to see if adding it to atezolizumab and bevacizumab improves treatment outcomes compared to using atezolizumab and bevacizumab alone. The study is "randomized," meaning patients are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups. It's "double-blind," which means neither the patients nor the researchers know who is receiving which treatment (either the actual drugs or a placebo for comparison). This helps ensure unbiased results in evaluating how effective and safe each treatment combination is. The goal of IMbrave152 is to determine which combination of these drugs provides the best outcomes in terms of shrinking tumors, prolonging survival, and maintaining quality of life for patients with advanced liver cancer who have not yet been treated with any other therapies.
