Recruiting studies
- NCT06729944Recruiting
Genetic testing study for bile duct cancers
This trial looks at how well a modern genetic test (next-generation sequencing) works when analyzing tissue samples from people with bile duct cancer. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors better understand these tumors.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07507643RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid treatment before liver surgery study
This study tests if a steroid called methylprednisolone can help people recovering from major liver surgery. It aims to see if it reduces inflammation and improves outcomes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06778460Recruiting
Esketamine and lidocaine for pain after liver surgery
This trial tests whether two medicines, esketamine and lidocaine, can reduce long-term pain after liver surgery and possibly improve survival. It is for people who are having a planned liver removal (hepatectomy).
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07452848Recruiting
Pringle maneuver's effect on gallbladder after liver surgery
This trial studies whether a technique called the Pringle maneuver (temporarily stopping blood flow to the liver during surgery) affects gallbladder health after liver surgery. It is for people having a liver tumor removed while keeping their gallbladder.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–85 - NCT07395635Recruiting
Nutrition supplement study for liver surgery patients
This trial tests whether a special nutrition mix (immunonutrition) helps patients recover better after major liver surgery. You may be eligible if you are having a large liver tumor removed.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–90 - NCT07301853Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for liver transplant patients and living donors
This study follows liver transplant recipients and living donors over time to track their health outcomes. It aims to understand their recovery and long-term wellbeing.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07263217Recruiting
Spirulina for liver protection after bile duct cancer surgery
This trial tests whether spirulina (a type of algae) can help protect the liver and aid recovery after surgery for bile duct cancer. Participants will take spirulina or a placebo before and after a planned liver resection.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07062380Recruiting
AI tool to predict liver cancer return after surgery
This study uses an AI tool to predict how liver cancer might come back after surgery. It is for people with early-stage liver cancer who are already scheduled for surgery and have recent MRI scans.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06954116RecruitingPhase 2
Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests two drugs given before surgery to people with liver cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if the drugs can shrink the tumor and lower the risk of recurrence.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05035108RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Bioartificial liver treatment using hiHep cells after liver surgery
This early-stage study tests a lab-made “bioartificial liver” (using hiHep cells) after major liver surgery to help the remaining liver recover. It may help people whose remaining liver volume after resection is less than half and who have acceptable heart, lung, and blood test results for surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 30–80 - NCT05339984Recruiting
MRI-based planning during liver surgery and related procedures
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT06681818Recruiting
New method to measure liver regrowth after surgery
This study tests a new way to measure how well your liver grows back and heals after part of it is removed. The goal is to predict and prevent complications after surgery.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06647264Enrolling by invitation
Study on computer-aided risk prediction for liver and gallbladder surgery
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06366048Recruiting
Liver surgery and risk of liver failure study
This study looks at how the amount of healthy liver tissue removed during surgery affects the risk of liver failure after the operation. It is for people with common types of liver cancer (HCC or ICC) who are having a planned liver resection.
Fujian, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06178198RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and liver surgery for large liver tumors
This trial tests combining radiation therapy (radioembolization) with surgery to remove part of the liver for people with a single large liver tumor (over 8 cm) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively.
Seoul, SeoulAges 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+ - NCT04982653RecruitingPhase 2
Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03715517Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia to improve recovery after liver surgery
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 42 recruiting hepatectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hepatectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hepatectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
