NCT ID NCT07668570

Summary

This study tests a combination of targeted radiation (SBRT) and an experimental drug called QL1706 in 36 adults with advanced liver cancer that has worsened after one prior treatment. The radiation is given to liver tumors over five sessions, followed by QL1706 infusions every three weeks. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and control the disease safely.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and QL1706 (Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab injection)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new second-line treatment option for liver cancer patients, potentially shrinking tumors and extending survival.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from radiation and the drug are possible, and the treatment may not work for all patients.
