This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to assess the effectiveness and safety of two Immune Therapy drugs, durvalumab given by itself or with tremelimumab versus sorafenib, the standard first line treatment, to treat patients with no prior systemic therapy for advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of durvalumab plus tremelimumab combination therapy compared with sorafenib.;Secondary Objective: - To assess the efficacy of durvalumab monotherapy compared with sorafenib - To assess the safety and tolerability profile across all treatment arms - To assess the efficacy of Durvalumab monotheraphy and Durvalumab plus tremelimumab combination theraphy compared with sorafenib by PD-L1 expression - To assess disease-related symptoms, impacts, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Durvalumab monotheraphy and Durvalumab plus tremelimimab combination therapy compared with sorafenib - To evaluate the population PK and pharmacodynamics of Durvalumab monotheraphy and Durvalumab plus tremelimumab combination therapy - To investigate the immunogenicity of Durvalumab monotheraphy and Durvalumab plus tremelimumab combination therapy;Primary end point(s): Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patient level: Assessments for survival will be made every 4 weeks during treatment period and every 2 months following treatment discontinuation which will continue until the end of the study unless the patient has expressly withdrawn their consent to survival follow-up. In addition, all patients will be contacted in the week following data cutoff to confirm survival status.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Other secondary efficacy endpoints include: Progression-free survival (PFS), Time to progression (TTP), Objective response rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR), and Duration of response (DoR);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PFS, TTP, ORR, DCR, DoR - Patient level: Efficacy for all patients will be assessed by objective tumor assessments every 8 weeks (±1 week) for the first 48 weeks (relative to the date of randomization; then every 12 weeks (±1 week) thereafter until confirmed PD as defined by RECIST 1.1 or discontinuation from study participation.
