NCT ID NCT07291076
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called pumitamig, alone or with another drug (ipilimumab), in people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The trial includes 198 participants who have not had prior cancer treatment. The goal is to see if the drugs are safe and can shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pumitamig (a drug) and ipilimumab (an immunotherapy drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer who have not had prior therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drugs may not work or could cause serious side effects. Results may not apply to all patients.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
