Study population

The study population will be made up of patients with histologically or radiologically confirmed advanced or uHCC not amenable to surgery and/or locoregional therapies, and without previous systemic therapy for HCC who are starting treatment with STRIDE as per routine clinical practice and independently of participation in this study. The study aims to enroll approximately 200 patients.

Inclusion criteria

  • - Signed informed consent.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histologically or radiologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or unresectable HCC.
  • BCLC B or C HCC.
  • Child-Pugh A (score 5 or 6).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score 0 or 1.
  • Planned first-line treatment of advanced/uHCC with STRIDE.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Any previous line of systemic therapy for HCC.
  • Any prior or concomitant immunotherapy.
  • Prior allogeneic organ or bone marrow transplant.
  • Documented active or previous GI bleeding within the previous 12 months.
  • Main trunk portal vein thrombosis.
  • Autoimmune disease requiring treatment with immunosuppressive medication.
  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the STRIDE excipients.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time To Decompensation (TTDec)

    time from index date (start of new treatment) to the first occurrence of events such as ascites of any grade according to the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) classification, hepatic encephalopathy of any grade according to West Haven classification, variceal hemorrhage, or jaundice (total bilirubin \>3 mg/dL). In Child-Pugh (CP)-A participants with a score of 6 at index date, TTDec is defined as the time from index date to any worsening in ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal hemorrhage, or jaundice (defined as an increase in total bilirubin to greater than 3 mg/dL or a worsening of more than 1.0 mg/dL from index date). At the time of decompensation (± 30 days) a CT scan should be performed to exclude worsening of liver function due to tumor progression.

    Time frame: From index date to first hepatic decompensation/study completion, up to 30 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time To Worsening (TTWors)

    Time To Worsening (TTWors) based on the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-HCC18 PROs within the first 18 months of treatment. TTWors is the time from first treatment to first clinically meaningful deterioration confirmed at a subsequent visit/assessment or death from any cause. A clinically meaningful change (deterioration or improvement) is defined as an absolute change ≥ 10 points in total score from index date.

    Time frame: Baseline and every 8 weeks during treatment, up to 30 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    time from first treatment to death

    Time frame: From index date through study completion, up to 30 months

  3. Progression free survival (PFS)

    time from first treatment to radiologic evidence of tumor progression or death based on investigator assessment (RECIST v1.1).

    Time frame: From index date until tumor progression, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

  4. Overall response rate (ORR)

    proportion of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1.

    Time frame: From index date until objective tumor progression, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    proportion of participants with a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. (stable disease needs to be maintained for a minimum of 8 weeks to be included in the DCR).

    Time frame: From index date until objective tumor progression or date of death, assessed until study completion, up to 30 months

  6. Downstaging

    Proportion of participants who undergo liver transplant following downstaging with the STRIDE regimen

    Time frame: From index date until study completion, up to 30 months

  7. safety

    Adverse events: severity, seriousness, causality, action taken with durvalumab, and outcome.

    Time frame: From index date until study completion, up to 33 months

Other outcomes

  1. TTDec subgroups

    defined for the primary outcome within the first 18 months of treatment by: • Baseline ALBI grade (1 vs 2 or 3) • Cirrhosis at baseline (yes vs no) • Signs of portal hypertension at baseline, i.e., splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia and presence of collateral circulation, or porto-systemic shunts (yes vs no)

    Time frame: From index date to first hepatic decompensation/study completion, up to 30 months
