NCT ID NCT07192185

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding FOLFOX chemotherapy to the existing immunotherapy drugs atezolizumab and bevacizumab can help patients with advanced liver cancer whose disease has worsened on first-line treatment. The study will enroll 30 adults with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage C. Researchers will measure how many patients' tumors shrink and how long they live overall.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

FOLFOX chemotherapy (oxaliplatin, leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil) plus atezolizumab and bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new second-line treatment option for advanced liver cancer patients who have stopped responding to standard first-line therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Adding chemotherapy to immunotherapy also increases the risk of side effects.
