NCT ID NCT07186010

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.

Summary

This study is collecting blood and tumor samples from 50 people with advanced liver cancer who are receiving immunotherapy. Researchers will analyze the samples to find genetic and immune system markers that might predict how well the treatment works. The goal is to better understand why some patients respond to immunotherapy and others do not.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which liver cancer patients will benefit most from immunotherapy, leading to more personalized treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is designed to gather information, not to test a new treatment.
