Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT02917707Recruiting
Study for colon cancer that has spread to the liver
This study focuses on people with colon cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver. It looks at factors that may affect liver metastases and could help doctors better understand who may benefit from future treatments.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 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+ - NCT06356584RecruitingPhase 2
A drug combination with or without radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combo (fruquintinib and sintilimab) with or without radiation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and has not responded to earlier treatments.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07159048Recruiting
Heat therapy for liver tumors
This trial tests a heat-based treatment for liver cancer tumors that uses multiple methods to destroy cancer cells. It may help people with liver tumors that haven't spread and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT04668872Recruiting
Biopsy after liver radiation to see tumor cell changes
This trial gives radiation to liver tumors and then takes a small tissue sample (biopsy) to look for changes in the cancer cells after treatment. The goal is to learn what the radiation is doing inside the tumor, which may help improve future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03494946Recruiting
Liver transplant vs chemotherapy for colon cancer liver spread
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06794086RecruitingPhase 3
SBRT and immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial combines targeted radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be removed by surgery. It aims to help shrink or control tumors in patients whose cancer has a normal DNA repair system (pMMR/MSS).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05314400Recruiting
MRI with contrast for metastatic colon cancer liver lesions
This trial studies an MRI technique using a contrast dye (gadopetate/gadolinium) to better look at liver lesions that may be colon cancer spread. It may help doctors more accurately assess which liver tumors are present and guide next steps.
London, OntarioAges 18 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+ - NCT07365527Recruiting
Ultrasound and Tumor Response in Colorectal Liver Metastases
This study is testing a new way to use ultrasound to help treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors see how tumors respond to treatment.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05240950RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for colorectal cancer in the liver
This Phase 1 study tests an anti-CEA CAR-T cell treatment for people whose colorectal cancer spread to the liver but has been surgically removed with no visible remaining tumor. It aims to see if the treatment can better prevent the cancer from coming back, especially when early warning tests suggest leftover cancer cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06111105Recruiting
Comparing blood tests to guide colon cancer treatment
This study compares different blood tests to find the best way to detect tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. It aims to help doctors decide if additional chemotherapy is needed to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07349043RecruitingPhase 1
Spray chemotherapy for colon cancer spread in the belly
This trial tests a new way to give chemotherapy by spraying it into the belly during a minimally invasive surgery. It is for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread inside the belly (peritoneal metastasis) but not to other organs.
Hangzhou, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–75 - NCT07409805RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for advanced colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new vaccine (YMN-136) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and hasn't responded to at least three prior treatments. The goal is to see if the vaccine can help control the cancer.
