New combo therapy aims to shrink tough liver tumors
NCT ID NCT05751343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding two liver-directed treatments (chemoembolization and artery infusion) to standard immunotherapy can shrink tumors better in people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 55 adults with good liver function and performance status will receive the combination. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink significantly.
