Double attack on advanced liver cancer shows promise

NCT ID NCT03211416

Summary

This study tested whether using two drugs together works better than one for treating advanced liver cancer that has spread. The trial combined sorafenib, a pill that blocks cancer cell growth, with pembrolizumab, an IV drug that helps the immune system fight cancer. It involved 37 adults with advanced liver cancer to see if the combination was safe and could shrink tumors or slow their progression.
