Immune therapy trial targets Virus-Linked liver tumors

NCT ID NCT03419481

Summary

This study tests the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in 30 patients with advanced liver cancer caused by chronic hepatitis B infection. Researchers will give the drug every three weeks and take tumor samples before and during treatment to study how the immune system responds. The main goals are to see if the treatment shrinks tumors safely and to understand immune changes that might predict who benefits most.
