NCT ID NCT05842174

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a drug that blocks a cancer cell survival process (autophagy) to standard TACE treatment can better kill liver cancer cells and boost the immune system. About 93 adults with unresectable liver cancer will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach delays cancer progression longer than TACE alone.
