New Three-Drug combo aims to shrink Hard-to-Treat cancers

NCT ID NCT04068194

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs (peposertib and avelumab) plus a special type of radiation (hypofractionated) in people with advanced solid tumors or liver/bile duct cancers that have spread. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. About 103 participants will be enrolled, and the trial is currently active but not recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Peposertib (M3814) and avelumab (Bavencio) plus hypofractionated radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors or liver/bile duct cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (phase I/II) with only 103 participants, so the benefits are uncertain. Combining three treatments may cause significant side effects, and the approach may not work for all cancer types.
