Triple threat: new combo aims to outsmart advanced liver cancer
NCT ID NCT06618664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new combination of three drugs (SHR-8068, adebrelimab, and bevacizumab) against two standard two-drug combos for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 590 adults who have not had prior cancer treatment will participate. The goal is to see if the new triple therapy helps people live longer without their cancer growing.
