Recruiting studies
- NCT07781306Recruiting
Imaging study for liver metastasis surgery
This study looks at how well imaging predicts the outcome of surgery for liver metastases from colorectal or breast cancer. If you are having surgery to remove liver metastases, you may be able to participate.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07764497RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy through liver artery for colorectal cancer that spread to liver
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumors and make the liver healthy enough for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07277322RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Two immunotherapy drugs before surgery for MSS colorectal cancer with liver spots
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (Dupilumab and Toripalimab) before surgery for people with MSS colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the liver tumors and help the body's immune system fight the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06848842RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed right away. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumors enough to allow surgery or other treatments.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05057052RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors with immunotherapy and a pill drug
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) plus sintilimab (an immune system medicine) and regorafenib (a pill) can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for people whose cancer has come back or progressed after at least two prior chemotherapy treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04742621Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05062317RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test-guided chemotherapy after liver tumor removal
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA, a sign of cancer cells shedding into the blood) to help guide chemotherapy after surgery to remove colorectal liver metastases. It may help patients get the right chemotherapy plan after their operation, potentially based on whether cancer material is still detectable.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04678583Recruiting
Surgery plan for RAS-mutant colon cancer liver metastases
This trial studies an approach to surgically removing liver metastases from colon (or rectal) cancer that has an RAS gene mutation (KRAS or NRAS). If you qualify, you would be evaluated for whether a “complete” (R0) liver operation is planned and technically possible, aiming to improve cancer control by how the liver is cut.
Mannheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04520737Recruiting
Exercise coaching during chemotherapy for liver metastases
This trial studies whether a “prehab” program—structured exercise and preparation—can help people keep up function while they are on chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you can safely exercise, the program may help you tolerate treatment and stay active.
TarragonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05794971RecruitingPhase 3
Regorafenib with irinotecan beads for colorectal liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a pill called regorafenib to irinotecan “drug-eluting” beads placed in the liver can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver after standard chemotherapy stops working. If you qualify, it may offer a new combination approach for controlling liver tumors.
Guangdong, GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT06638502RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing HRX215 for liver recovery after surgery
This trial tests a drug called HRX215 to see if it is safe and helps the liver recover after surgery to remove colon cancer tumors that have spread to the liver. It is for people who are having either a minor or major liver resection and have a low risk of liver failure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT05265169Recruiting
Tested microwave ablation to treat liver metastases from colon cancer
This study tests whether a specific heating treatment (microwave ablation) can completely destroy small colon cancer spots in the liver. It may help patients who have limited liver tumors and need a precise, minimally invasive option.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07117435RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted chemo into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial is testing a new way to give the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the liver (through a tiny tube) along with standard systemic treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this targeted approach works better than standard treatment alone.
Lishui, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07109440Recruiting
FAPI PET/CT scan for colorectal cancer liver spread
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) to get a better look at the environment around colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and plan treatment.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05829291Recruiting
Alpha Radiation Seeds for Liver Cancer Spread Treatment
This trial tests a new treatment called DaRT (alpha radiation seeds) implanted directly into liver tumors that have spread from colorectal cancer. The seeds deliver targeted radiation to shrink tumors while reducing damage to healthy liver tissue, as part of a two-stage surgical plan.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07027605Recruiting
Testing a computer tool for colorectal liver metastasis prognosis
This trial is testing a computer program that helps doctors predict outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for patients who have had surgery to remove both the colon and liver tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07385521Recruiting
AI to predict cancer return after liver surgery
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict whether colorectal cancer that spread to the liver will come back after surgery. It may help doctors better understand your risk and plan follow-up care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04491929Recruiting
Radiation treatment for colon cancer in the liver using tiny beads
This trial studies a targeted liver radiation procedure that uses tiny radioactive beads to treat colon cancer spread mostly in the liver. It may help people whose liver tumors cannot be removed or treated with other common local treatments, but it has several safety and “screening” checks.
Aarhus N, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07607873Recruiting
Transplant vs surgery after chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07441369Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Abemaciclib with chemotherapy for advanced colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests combining the targeted drug abemaciclib with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and cannot be removed surgically. It may be an option if you've already tried two or three prior treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07399236Recruiting
AI prediction of liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study looks at whether an AI tool can predict if colorectal cancer will spread to the liver. The researchers will review past medical records of patients who had surgery to remove their cancer and had no signs of spread at that time.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07172282RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new way to deliver immunotherapy directly into the liver for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors before surgery, and it may be an option if you've already had standard chemotherapy.
