New hope for liver cancer patients with liver damage: drug tested after immunotherapy fails

NCT ID NCT07514455

First seen Apr 11, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests the cancer pill regorafenib in 20 adults with advanced liver cancer and moderate liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B) whose disease worsened after first-line immunotherapy. Participants take regorafenib daily for 3 weeks on, 1 week off, until the cancer progresses or side effects become too severe. The main goal is to see if the drug delays cancer growth better than no treatment.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a second-line treatment option for liver cancer patients with moderate liver impairment who have no approved therapies after immunotherapy fails.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants. The drug may not improve survival or could cause significant side effects, especially in patients with already compromised liver function.
