Radiation-Immuno combo targets tough liver cancer clot

NCT ID NCT06823375

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding precise, high-dose radiation (SBRT) to standard immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab plus bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the main portal vein. About 40 participants will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach improves survival and tumor control for this hard-to-treat group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (immunotherapy drugs) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (precise high-dose radiation)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could improve survival and tumor control for people with advanced liver cancer and major portal vein tumor thrombosis, a group with very poor prognosis.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (40 participants) without a control group, so results may not be definitive. The added radiation could increase side effects, and the benefit over standard treatment is unproven.
