New hope for liver cancer patients who failed immunotherapy?
NCT ID NCT07589244
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This clinical trial is testing a new drug called VRT106 combined with two other drugs (camrelizumab and apatinib) in people with advanced liver cancer that has not responded to prior immunotherapy. The study will enroll 66 participants and aims to see if the combination is safe and can help control the cancer. It is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- VRT106 (a drug) combined with camrelizumab and apatinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced liver cancer who have stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy may cause significant side effects and may not improve survival.
