Phase 3 Study of Tislelizumab Versus Sorafenib in Participants With Unresectable HCC

NCT03412773

Description:

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab versus sorafenib as a first-line systemic treatment in participants with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. This study also includes a substudy investigating the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy in HCC in Japanese participants. In Japan, preliminary safety and tolerability will be evaluated (Safety Run-In Substudy) before Japanese participants are recruited in this Phase 3 study.

          2. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage B or C disease not amenable to or
             progressing after loco-regional therapy and not amenable to a curative treatment
             approach

          3. No prior systemic therapy for HCC (with the exception of HCC participants enrolled in
             the safety run-in substudy [Japan only])

          4. Measurable disease

          5. Child-Pugh score A

          5. Bleeding or thrombotic disorder or any prescribed anticoagulant requiring therapeutic
             international normalized ratio monitoring (eg, warfarin or similar agents) at
             Screening, or within 6 months before randomization/enrollment

          6. Presence at Screening of active immune deficiency or autoimmune disease and/or prior
             history of any immune deficiency or autoimmune disease that may relapse

          7. Participant with any condition requiring systemic treatment with either
             corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive
             medication within 14 days before randomization
