NCT ID NCT04828486

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs—futibatinib (which blocks cancer cell growth) and pembrolizumab (which helps the immune system attack cancer)—in 14 adults with advanced or spreading liver cancer that had not responded to prior treatment. The goal was to see if the combination could slow or stop the cancer from growing. While not a cure, this approach aims to give patients more time and control over their disease.
