Abou-Alfa, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reviews the goals of the upcoming phase III ARTEMIDE-HCC01 trial, which will examine the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig (a novel bispecific anti–PD-1/anti-TIGIT antibody) plus bevacizumab with or without tremelimumab as first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (Abstract TPS612).
