It aims to improve disease control while managing the circulation pressure in the liver.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06646198RecruitingPhase 2
TIPS with half-dose Donafenib for liver cancer with portal hypertension
This trial tests a treatment that combines a procedure called TIPS with a targeted therapy drug (Donafenib) at half strength. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein and caused high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and reduce complications.
