NCT ID NCT07219459

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2b trial tests whether adding visugromab and nivolumab to standard lenvatinib can help people with advanced liver cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. About 104 participants will receive either the triple combination or a placebo plus lenvatinib. The study aims to see if the new combo slows cancer growth.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer who have stopped responding to initial therapy.
What could go wrong
