Radiation and immunotherapy combo targets untreatable liver tumors
NCT ID NCT07482059
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a combination of internal radiation (Y90-SIRT) with three drugs (nivolumab, ipilimumab, and lenvatinib) in 33 people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this powerful mix is safe and can shrink tumors or extend survival. It is an early-stage trial, so the main focus is on safety and finding the right doses.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Yttrium-90 microspheres, nivolumab, ipilimumab, and lenvatinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of multiple drugs and radiation may cause serious side effects.
