NCT ID NCT06638502

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called HRX215 in people who had part of their liver removed because colon cancer spread there. The drug is meant to help the liver grow back and work better after surgery. About 80 adults will take either HRX215 or a placebo for 28 days, and researchers will check for side effects and measure liver regrowth.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to help the liver heal faster after surgery, reducing the risk of liver failure.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1/2) trial with only 80 people, so it is not yet known if HRX215 is safe or effective. The drug may cause side effects or show no benefit over placebo.
