Study Comparing BGB-B2033 With Sorafenib or Lenvatinib in Relapsed Hepatocellular Carcinoma
brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how well BGB-B2033 works and how safe it is in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have previously received up to two treatments that included programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) medicines. Researchers will compare BGB-B2033 with either sorafenib or lenvatinib chosen by the study doctor to see which treatment works better and is safer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does BGB-B2033 help control or slow the growth of liver cancer? * What medical problems or side effects do participants have while taking BGB-B2033? * Does BGB-B2033 help to prolong the survival for liver cancer participants over Lenvatinib/sorafenib?
detailed description
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. It can develop when abnormal cells in the liver grow uncontrollably and may spread to other parts of the body. For people whose cancer has returned or continued to grow after treatment, additional treatment options are needed.
BGB-B2033 is a new investigational drug designed to bind to a protein called glypican-3 (GPC3), a protein found on certain cancer cells and cells of the immune system, helping the immune system to recognize and attack the cancer cells. Lenvatinib and sorafenib are approved medicines that work by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow and form new blood vessels.
The purpose of this study is to test whether BGB-B2033 is safe and can help treat HCC in adults whose cancer has been treated with up to 2 previous treatments that included programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) medicines. The main goal of the study is to see how well BGB-B2033 controls cancer compared to the treatments selected by the study doctor (either lenvatinib or sorafenib).
This study has 2 treatment groups. Participants will be randomly assigned, like flipping a coin, to receive either:
* BGB-B2033, given by intravenous infusion. * Sorafenib, taken by mouth or lenvatinib, taken by mouth per their doctor's choice The study will enroll approximately 492 adults with HCC at multiple centers worldwide. Participants will make regular visits to the clinic for treatment, health checks, blood tests, and tumor and imaging tests.
The overall study will last about 3.5 years, not including the screening period.
