Hepatocellular Cancer study: Lenvatinib vs ABBV-324
Official title A Study to Assess Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity of Intravenously (IV) Infused ABBV-324 in Adult Participants With Hepatocellular Cancer (HCC) or Squamous-Cell Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (LUSC)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06858813
What this study is testing
What is Lenvatinib?
Lenvatinib is an investigational oral capsule being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular cancer. Lenvatinib is designed to block multiple tyrosine kinase receptors that help tumors grow and form new blood vessels.
Also referred to as Lenvima.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study aims to find out if the new drug is safe and how it changes the activity of liver or lung cancer.
- Who it's for
- Adults with liver cancer or a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer.
- What's involved
- Participants receive the new drug through an IV or a standard oral pill, with regular checks via blood tests and medical exams.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 6.5 years and requires regular visits to a hospital or clinic.
