New combo therapy aims to outperform standard care for advanced liver cancer

NCT ID NCT07594340

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver (HAIC) plus immunotherapy drugs works better than the standard chemo-embolization procedure (TACE) plus the same immunotherapy for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that has spread extensively. About 300 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The study aims to find a more effective way to control the cancer and improve survival.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

sintilimab and bevacizumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus either hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could show that HAIC combined with immunotherapy is more effective than the standard TACE approach for controlling liver cancer and extending survival in patients with a high tumor burden.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet available. The experimental treatment may not prove superior to the standard approach, and both combinations carry risks such as liver damage, bleeding, or immune-related side effects.
