Could a little liver radiation boost cancer immunotherapy?

NCT ID NCT07225036

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding low-dose radiation to the liver before standard immunotherapy can help people with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver. About 21 participants will receive radiation before their first three immunotherapy cycles. The goal is to see if this combination improves how long the cancer stays under control.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Low-dose radiation to the liver

What this could lead to

If it works, this could improve how well immunotherapy controls cancer in patients with liver metastases, potentially extending the time without disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial with only 21 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The radiation could cause side effects like fatigue or liver irritation, and it may not improve outcomes.
