NCT ID NCT07219459

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

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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

visugromab (CTL-002) combined with nivolumab and lenvatinib

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

This is a mid-stage trial with only 104 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added drugs may increase side effects without improving outcomes.
