Cryoablation with Cadonilimab and Bevacizumab for Liver Cancer with Lung Metastases
Official title: Cryoablation Combined With Cardonilizumab and Bevacizumab in Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Pulmonary Metastases: A Single-center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Phase II Study
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06265350 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new treatment that combines freezing liver tumors with two immunotherapy drugs can help patients with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the lungs feel better when other treatments haven't worked.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with primary or recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma and specific pulmonary metastasis characteristics who have failed first-line systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignancies or those under 18 years old will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of combining cryoablation with the immunotherapy agents Cadonilimab and Bevacizumab in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has spread to the lungs. Cryoablation is a minimally invasive procedure that freezes tumors to destroy cancer cells and stimulate immune responses. The study aims to improve outcomes for patients who have not responded to standard systemic therapies. By targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the treatment seeks to enhance immune response and tumor control.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with advanced liver cancer and lung metastases.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of cryoablation and immunotherapy, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
