Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Alexandria, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3

What taking part in a advanced or metastatic solid tumors study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
