Summary

This early-phase trial tests a drug called tirapazamine, which becomes active in low-oxygen areas, combined with a procedure that blocks blood flow to liver tumors (embolization). The goal is to find the best dose and see how well the treatment shrinks tumors. The study includes up to 25 adults with liver cancer or liver-dominant neuroendocrine tumors that are not suitable for surgery.
