About this trial

The investigators are doing this study to learn if a combination of immunotherapy and a liver-directed tumor procedure can safely and effectively shrink or control liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC). The goal is to try to lower the stage of the cancer so that more patients may become eligible for a liver transplant. The investigators will also closely watch for side effects from the study treatments. Section 2 has more details.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form.

Beyond UCSF criteria HCC with diagnosis confirmed histologically/cytologically, radiologically, or clinically per AASLD criteria, with life expectancy of at least 12 months.

Histologically confirmed HCC via liver biopsy obtained within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment as part of SOC. If no historical biopsy is available, a biopsy must be performed at screening for confirmation. Screening liver biopsy may be conducted as part of research activities if not performed per SOC practice.

ECOG performance status ≤ 2 within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment.

Disqualifiers

1- Known fibrolamellar HCC, sarcomatoid HCC, other rare HCC variant, or mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC.

Participants who received acute, low-dose systemic immunosuppressant medication or a one-time pulse dose of systemic immunosuppressant medication (e.g., 48 hours of corticosteroids for a contrast allergy) are eligible.

Participants who received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension or adrenal insufficiency are eligible for the study.
