Ph3 Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo with Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab

This study is assessing the effectiveness and safety of tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, when given with atezolizumab and bevacizumab as a first-line treatment for unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TIGIT is thought to play an important role in HCC's response to immunotherapy treatments such as atezolizumab. This study will assess whether the addition of tiragolumab to atezolizumab and bevacizumab will improve response and clinical outcomes.

A071701 Genomically-guided treatment trial in brain metastases

The purpose of this study is to test good and bad effects of different drugs against metastatic brain tumors with altered genes. This trial is trying to see if tumor genetic testing would be helpful at guiding treatment in patients such as you. Researchers have looked at the DNA material (genes) that can be affected in brain metastases and have found several genes that are altered, or mutated. There are medications that target these genes. We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your metastatic cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for your metastatic cancer.
