About this trial

This is a multi-center, open-label phase IIA study that investigates the preliminary efficacy of Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) treatment of liver cancer followed by a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab). Patients with two types of cancers will be enrolled, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and metastatic gastric cancer. All enrolled patients need to have liver lesions and have progressed on a prior immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of (1) advanced HCC or (2) metastatic gastric cancer.

Patients between ages 18 and 80

If HCC patients, they should have progressive disease (PD) on an immune therapy for advanced HCC. For patients with metastatic gastric cancer, they should have failed at least one line of systemic chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Patients with liver tumor lesions with at least one with a diameter of 2 cm or bigger, which is amendable for (super-)selective TATE as the target lesion.
