Targeted chemo infusion plus immunotherapy shows promise for tough liver cancer
NCT ID NCT07282509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This clinical trial is testing a new approach for people with advanced liver cancer whose first treatment stopped working. The study combines a targeted chemotherapy infusion (paclitaxel liposome) delivered directly into the liver artery with systemic drugs like immunotherapy and a targeted pill. About 116 participants will be enrolled to see if this combination is safe and effective at shrinking tumors and improving survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- paclitaxel cationic liposome (HA131) infused into the liver artery, plus enlonstobart or pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) and lenvatinib (targeted therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new second-line treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and extending survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Ib/II) with only 116 participants, so results are preliminary. The combination therapy may cause significant side effects, and the benefit over existing treatments is not yet proven.
