Experimental combo targets tough liver cancer
NCT ID NCT06519721
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early trial tests whether combining the drug lenvatinib with a new experimental drug, VIC-1911, is safe and can shrink tumors in people with advanced liver cancer. Only 12 participants will be enrolled, and the study is open-label, meaning everyone gets the combination. The main goal is to see how many patients respond, but it is too early to know if this will become a standard treatment.
