Study Summary

This trial is testing whether atezolizumab, when given with either cabozantinib or lenvatinib, is more effective in treating liver cancer than either of those drugs given alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced liver cancer that's inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic and have previously been treated. Participants must be able to take oral meds, have a specific performance status (ECOG 0 or 1), and their liver function needs to meet certain criteria. Women of childbearing age must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests atezolizumab combined with cabozantinib or lenvatinib against just the multi-kinase inhibitors alone. Atezolizumab is an immunotherapy drug while cabozantinib and lenvatinib block enzymes that help tumor cells grow. The goal is to see if combining these treatments works better for treating liver cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions like inflammation in various organs, fatigue, digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea, abnormal blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, possible skin reactions, and potential impact on liver function.
