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 mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HRX215 capsules
- 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.
