Liver tumors targeted directly: old pump, new drug

NCT ID NCT07715903

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This trial tests whether a drug called carfilzomib, given directly to the liver through an implanted pump, is safe for people whose colon, adrenal, or bile duct cancer has spread to the liver and persists after prior pump therapy. Participants receive weekly infusions of the drug via their existing hepatic artery infusion pump for up to six months. The study aims to find the highest safe dose and monitor for side effects.
