NCT ID NCT04962958

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (Donafenib) and chemotherapy directly into the liver's blood supply can prevent liver cancer from returning after surgery. It includes adults with a single large tumor (≥5 cm) and microscopic blood vessel invasion, who are at high risk of recurrence. Participants receive the combined treatment for up to 2 years, and researchers track how many remain cancer-free during that time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Donafenib, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, leucovorin
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new way to delay or prevent liver cancer from returning after surgery in patients at high risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The combination therapy also carries risks of side effects from chemotherapy and targeted drugs.
