Blood test may predict immunotherapy success in liver cancer
NCT ID NCT07273708
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at blood samples from 20 people with advanced liver cancer who are starting immunotherapy. Researchers want to find genetic clues in immune cells that can tell if a patient will respond well to treatment. The goal is to better understand why some patients benefit and others do not.
