Can a common cholesterol drug boost liver cancer treatment?

NCT ID NCT01903694

Summary

This study tested whether adding a cholesterol-lowering drug (pravastatin) to the standard liver cancer drug sorafenib could help patients live longer. It involved 474 adults with advanced liver cancer who were not candidates for surgery or other curative treatments. The main goal was to see if the drug combination improved survival compared to sorafenib alone.
