New hope for kids with tough liver cancer: immune therapy trial opens

NCT ID NCT04134559

Summary

This study is testing whether an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) can help control liver cancer that has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments in children and young adults. The trial will enroll up to 18 participants under age 30 to see if the drug can stop or shrink tumors. Researchers will also study tumor samples to learn why the treatment might work for some patients.
