Scientists hunt for clues to predict liver cancer drug response

NCT ID NCT05197504

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study analyzed tumor and blood samples from 166 people with advanced liver cancer who received a combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal was to find biomarkers—biological clues—that could predict how well a patient responds to treatment and how long they survive. Researchers used advanced genetic and molecular techniques to better understand the disease and identify potential new treatment targets.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

atezolizumab plus bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help identify which patients are most likely to benefit from this drug combination, leading to more personalized treatment for advanced liver cancer.

What could go wrong

This is an observational biomarker study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear or useful biomarkers, and results may not change clinical practice.
