NCT ID NCT07378709
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study is looking at whether certain substances in the blood can help predict and monitor how liver cancer responds to a treatment called TACE. Researchers will collect blood samples from 15 adult patients before and after TACE and compare them with standard imaging scans. The goal is to see if blood markers can give early clues about treatment success, potentially reducing the need for extra scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to help doctors predict and monitor how well liver cancer responds to TACE treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment.
