New combo therapy aims to boost immune attack on liver tumors
NCT ID NCT06133062
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding proton radiotherapy to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can better control advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 45 participants will receive the combination treatment. The study will measure how long the cancer stays under control and monitor side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- atezolizumab and bevacizumab (immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs) plus proton radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could improve tumor control and survival for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (45 participants) without a comparison group, so results may not be definitive. Side effects from the drugs and radiation are possible.
