New combo treatment hope for advanced liver cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07157969
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Phase 2 trial is testing whether adding interventional procedures (like TACE or HAIC) to a combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-VEGF drugs works better than the drugs alone for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. About 300 participants with BCLC stage B or C liver cancer will be enrolled. Researchers will measure how well the tumors shrink and how long patients live without the cancer progressing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lenvatinib, Pembrolizumab, Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Camrelizumab, Apatinib (drugs); TACE, HAIC (procedures)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a more effective combination treatment for advanced liver cancer, potentially improving tumor shrinkage and survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are still early and may not confirm benefit. Combining multiple therapies also raises the risk of side effects.

Age ≥18 years at the time of signing informed consent, regardless of gender. 3. Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by imaging (according to AASLD criteria), histology, or cytology. 4. BCLC Stage B or C. 5. At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1. 6. ECOG score of 0-1. 7. Child-Pugh liver function class A or B. 8. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months. 9.

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who are candidates for surgical radical cure, or have undergone radical surgery without evaluable lesions, or have a history of or are planned for liver transplantation. 2. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 3. Individuals with known allergy or intolerance to recombinant humanized PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody preparations. 4. Received local-regional therapy within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug, including but not limited to surgery, radiotherapy, hepatic artery embolism, TACE, hepatic artery infusion, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, or percutaneous ethanol injection. 5.
