New hope for tough liver cancers? early trial tests Two-Drug punch

NCT ID NCT05644379

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a combination of two drugs—cadonilimab and regorafenib—in 30 adults with advanced liver cancer that has worsened after at least one prior therapy. The goal is to see if the combo can shrink tumors or slow the disease, while also checking for side effects. Because it's a Phase 1 study, the main focus is safety and finding the right dose, not yet proving the treatment works.
