Recruiting studies
- NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a liver pump with standard chemo for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests whether adding a special chemotherapy pump implanted in your liver (hepatic arterial infusion) to standard chemotherapy works better than standard chemotherapy alone for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. The pump delivers high doses of chemo directly to the liver to shrink tumors and possibly control the disease longer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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+ - 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 - NCT05398380Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal liver cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for certain people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for carefully selected patients whose cancer is controlled on chemotherapy and who meet specific safety and scan requirements.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT05195710RecruitingPhase 1
Pre-surgery Y-90 treatment to grow future liver volume
This trial tests a radiation treatment called Y-90 given before liver surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to help the liver grow enough for safer, curative surgery, either right away or as part of a two-step operation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04912765RecruitingPhase 2
New immune vaccine plus nivolumab for liver cancer
This trial studies whether an individualized “neoantigen” cancer vaccine given to immune cells (dendritic cells) plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with liver cancer and/or colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It focuses on tumors that can be removed with curative surgery (with or without local ablation) and on people with good enough liver and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04796818Recruiting
MRI scan to track response in colorectal liver metastases
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how colorectal cancer in the liver responds to planned chemotherapy before and after surgery. It may help doctors better measure treatment success and plan care.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT05428735Recruiting
Liver-first treatment study for colorectal cancer spread to liver
This trial studies a “liver-first” approach for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver, to see if it can help more people have the tumor(s) removed or treated. You may be eligible if your liver involvement is too extensive for immediate surgery but could become treatable after a specific plan.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04798898Recruiting
RFA plus immune stimulation during liver surgery for colon cancer spread
This trial looks at whether using a heat-based treatment (RFA) to trigger the immune system before or during liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver. It’s aimed at people who plan to have the liver tumors removed because they look treatable.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT07272928Recruiting
Comparing surgery order for liver spread from colon cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the colon tumor or the liver tumors first affects recovery in patients having both removed at the same time. It helps doctors decide the best surgical approach.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 18 years+ - NCT06449937Recruiting
Local liver treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread
This trial tests whether treating liver tumors with surgery or ablation can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and other organs. It may be an option if you've had only 1 or 2 types of chemotherapy and your non-liver metastases are stable.
Chuzhou, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05967143Recruiting
Registry study for first-time SIR-Spheres in liver tumors
This is an observational (real-world) study that follows people with certain unresectable liver tumors who are getting SIR-Spheres for the first time. It helps doctors understand how this treatment is used in routine care and what outcomes patients experience.
Clichy, CedexAges 18 years+ - NCT07550088RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for colorectal cancer with liver tumors
This study tests a combination of three drugs for patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05755672Recruiting
Study biomarkers during curative-intent treatment for metastatic colon cancer
This study looks at biological markers (substances measured in the body) during treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works, using patients who are treated with a goal of cure.

AK104 plus radiation for colorectal cancer spread to liver
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug called AK104 combined with radiation therapy and standard chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if adding AK104 and targeted radiation improves treatment outcomes compared to standard therapy alone.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06280495RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Targeted drugs plus chemo before surgery for colon cancer with liver spread
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs (serplulimab and bevacizumab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for those whose cancer has certain genetic features and is considered resectable.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07247396RecruitingPhase 1
CEA CAR-T therapy after surgery for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a special immune cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called CEA on cancer cells. It is for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum) and who have already had surgery to remove as much of the spread as possible.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06787625Recruiting
