First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and bevacizumab) after a procedure that delivers tiny radioactive beads to the liver can help people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The study includes 58 participants and measures how long the cancer stays under control and what side effects occur. The approach aims to shrink tumors and delay progression.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

durvalumab (Imfinzi) and bevacizumab (Avastin) given intravenously, plus yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) delivered via a procedure called transarterial radioembolization

What this could lead to

If this works, it could provide a new treatment option for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery, potentially slowing the cancer's growth.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 58 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of treatments can cause serious side effects.
