ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment approach for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, which is a type of liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The trial is testing a combination of two drugs, adebrelimab and bevacizumab, along with a procedure called TACE (transarterial chemoembolization), which targets the blood supply to the tumor. The goal is to see how effective and safe this combination is in helping patients with this challenging condition.

To participate in the trial, patients should be between 18 and 75 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of primary liver cancer with at least one measurable tumor. They should not have had any prior systemic treatments or surgeries for their cancer and must be in good overall health. Participants can expect regular check-ups and monitoring throughout the study to assess their response to the treatment and any side effects. It's important to note that this trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know meets the criteria and is interested, you may want to consider discussing this option with a healthcare provider.
