AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Pathologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC with evidence of locally advanced (unresectable, and ineligible for transplant) and/or metastatic disease. Noninvasive methods may be used to confirm diagnosis
* Pathologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell NSCLC with evidence of locally advanced (unresectable) and/or metastatic disease
* Pathologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of GCT with evidence of yolk sac and/or choriocarcinoma predominant component and locally advanced (unresectable) and/or metastatic disease
* Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1
* Liver function status of Child-Pugh Class A (for HCC only)
* Adequate organ function
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known additional malignancy that is progressing or that has required active treatment within the last year
* History of hepatic encephalopathy within the past 6 months or requirement for medications to control encephalopathy
* Participants with HCC experiencing main portal vein tumor invasion require sponsor approval for enrollment
* Known gastrointestinal bleeding within 3 months
* Acute or chronic uncontrolled renal disease, pancreatitis, or non-malignant liver disease
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
