New drug MT-303 takes on advanced liver cancer in first human trial

NCT ID NCT06478693

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called MT-303, alone or with two standard cancer drugs, in people with advanced liver cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see early signs of effectiveness. About 70 adults with a specific protein (GPC3) on their cancer cells will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

MT-303 (a type of immunotherapy) alone or combined with atezolizumab and bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced liver cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 70 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects, and it is too soon to know if it will work.
