Liver cancer trial withdrawn before it began: black seed extract study never enrolled patients

NCT ID NCT06217094

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

Summary

This was a planned Phase 1 study to test NP-101, a drug made from black seed, in people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Participants would have taken NP-101 daily for 28 days before receiving standard Y-90 radiation treatment. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if NP-101 could improve the immune response against the cancer. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

NP-101 (black seed extract)

What this could lead to

If it worked, NP-101 might boost the immune system to help control liver cancer when combined with standard Y-90 treatment.

What could go wrong

This trial was withdrawn before any patients enrolled, so no data exists. It was a very early Phase 1 safety study, and many such studies never lead to a treatment.
