ChanghuaAges 18–99 - NCT05377034RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 and immunotherapy vs Y-90 plus placebo for liver cancer
This phase 2 study tests whether adding immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) after Y-90 treatment works better and is safe compared with Y-90 followed by placebo. It is for people with liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver but is difficult to treat.
BeijingAges 21–99 - NCT05408221RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Liver cancer trial testing Rulonilimab plus Lenvatinib
This Phase 2/3 study tests whether combining rulonilimab with lenvatinib can control unresectable advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated locally. You may be considered if you have not had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatments and your organs and blood counts are strong enough.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05440708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed
This trial tests TTI-101, by itself and with other cancer medicines, for liver cancer that is advanced and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see whether the treatment can slow the cancer down and improve outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05528952RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for unresectable liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding a cancer vaccine (to help the immune system recognize your tumor) to two medicines—atezolizumab and bevacizumab—can better control unresectable or advanced liver cancer. It’s for people who haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatment.
