Sound waves zapping liver tumors: new study tracks Real-World success

NCT ID NCT06486454

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study is collecting information on how well the HistoSonics Edison System, which uses sound waves (histotripsy) to destroy liver tumors, works in everyday medical practice. Up to 5,000 adults with liver tumors will be followed for up to 5 years after treatment. The main goal is to see how patient and procedure factors affect whether the tumor is successfully treated within 36 hours.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Histotripsy (sound wave therapy) via the HistoSonics Edison System
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that histotripsy is a safe and effective non-invasive option for treating liver tumors, potentially reducing the need for surgery or radiation.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. Success depends on tumor type and patient factors, and long-term outcomes are still being tracked.
