1. HCC confirmed by radiological or histological diagnosis
2. Child-Pugh A-B7
3. Disease not amenable to curative treatment but amenable to LRT at index
4. Patients with liver-confined HCC who initiated first non-curative intent LRT on or after 01 January 2024

1. Eligible for curative therapy at the time of receiving LRT (ablation)
2. Extrahepatic spread
3. Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) of VP3/4
4. Receipt of systemic therapy prior to index LRT in the baseline period
5. Liver transplant any time prior to index

EMERALD Specific Exclusion Criteria

1. Eligible for curative therapy at the time of receiving LRT (ablation)

What this study is about

In the sponsor’s own words, from the registry.

Given the number of anticipated durvalumab-based treatment launches in the hepatobiliary cancer space over the next 3 years, there is a need to capture contemporary real-world data across these indications. LIVER-R is a multi-country, multi-center, observational study of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of hepatobiliary cancer treated with or without a durvalumab-based regimen as part of routine clinical practice or early access program (EAP). The study design will include primary and secondary data collection. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of regimens (durvalumab-based or otherwise) in real-world settings as measured by real-world overall survival. Other endpoints include demographics, clinical characteristics, clinically significant events of interest, treatment patterns, concomitant medications, treatment provider characteristics, and other real-world clinical endpoints (such as duration of treatment, progression-free survival, time to treatment progression, time to next treatment, time to treatment discontinuation, recurrence-free survival, and time to treatment recurrence ).
