Common dementia drug tested as new hope for tough liver cancers

NCT ID NCT06007846

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called memantine, commonly used for Alzheimer's disease, can help control advanced liver cancer in patients who also have severe liver scarring (cirrhosis) and are too sick for standard chemotherapy. It will measure if the cancer stops growing for at least 6 months and track any changes in patients' quality of life. The goal is to find a gentler treatment option for this very sick group of patients.
