First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new oil called T-ACE Oil, mixed with a chemotherapy drug, for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The oil is injected directly into the liver's blood vessels to block them and deliver chemo to the tumor. The trial aims to see if it is safe and works better than standard treatments. It is currently on hold.
