NCT ID NCT06526338

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a single injection of IP-001, given right after standard liver cancer ablation or surgery plus ablation, can help keep the cancer from coming back. About 126 adults with intermediate to high risk of recurrence will be followed for at least two years. The study compares IP-001 plus standard care against standard care alone.

Active substance

IP-001 injection

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new way to delay or prevent liver cancer from coming back after standard ablation treatment.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 126 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is a single injection, and its long-term safety and effectiveness are not yet proven.
