Recruiting studies
- NCT04849455RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block catheters plus spinal morphine for liver surgery pain
This trial tests whether placing pain-relief catheters near the back muscle plus giving morphine into the spinal fluid can improve comfort during and after liver surgery. It may help reduce the need for stronger opioid pain medicines afterward.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06718153Recruiting
Using protein tests to diagnose liver cancer types
This trial uses special stains on tumor tissue to find genetic changes in liver cancer cells. It may help doctors better diagnose and classify the type of liver cancer you have.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06398028RecruitingPhase 4
ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07450950Recruiting
Learning from patients before and after major cancer surgery
This trial looks at how people understand health information and what they expect before and after major cancer surgery. The goal is to help doctors better support patients by learning about their hopes and possible regrets.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT03364530RecruitingPhase 2
Liver artery chemotherapy for non-surgical bile duct cancer
This trial tests delivering two chemotherapy medicines directly into the liver’s artery in people with bile duct cancer inside the liver that cannot be removed with curative surgery. It aims to control the cancer after first-line treatment and see how well this targeted approach works.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07240350Recruiting
Hepatitis B immune response in surgery patients
This study looks at how the body's immune system responds in people with chronic hepatitis B who also need surgery on certain organs. The goal is to learn more about the immune reaction in tonsils, lymph nodes, or other tissues to help find better treatments for hepatitis B.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06313203RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without liver-directed treatment for bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding a liver-directed treatment (HAI floxuridine or SIRT) to standard chemotherapy (GemOx) is more effective for people with bile duct cancer inside the liver that cannot be removed by surgery. It may be an option for those whose cancer is only in the liver or nearby lymph nodes.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06898398Recruiting
TACE before surgery for large liver cancer
This trial combines a procedure called TACE (which blocks the blood supply to the tumor) with surgery to remove a large liver tumor. It is for people newly diagnosed with a large liver cancer that hasn't spread and can be completely removed with surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07070076Recruiting
Y-90 therapy vs chemo infusion for liver cancer
This study compares two liver-directed treatments—radioactive Yttrium-90 beads (SIRT) and a type of chemo infusion directly into the liver (HAIC)—for people whose liver cancer is advanced enough to need treatment but might still be removable with surgery. The goal is to see which approach can shrink the tumor best before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06420440RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery treatment for liver cancer at high risk of return
This study tests a treatment given before surgery for liver cancer that is at high risk of coming back. You would receive a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery (HAIC), a targeted pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) — if a computer model predicts you might benefit.
Xiangyang, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07142122Recruiting
Comparing two types of stomach surgery for early upper gastric cancer
This trial compares two laparoscopic surgeries for early-stage stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It looks at whether preserving a nerve (celiac branch of vagus nerve) during surgery leads to better recovery while still removing the cancer safely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06988852RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06796803RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (camrelizumab), a targeted drug (rivoceranib), and liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) to shrink liver tumors enough to make them removable with surgery. It is for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT07340151Recruiting
Surgery for limited liver or lung pancreatic cancer spread
This trial tests whether removing or ablating limited liver or lung tumors from pancreatic cancer that has not spread elsewhere, along with a specific chemotherapy (NALIRIFOX), can help patients. It is for people who have not had any previous cancer treatment.
San Antonio, TexasAges Any age - NCT07717437Recruiting
Liver cancer registry for patients who had vein embolization
This registry collects medical images and health information from patients with liver cancer or liver metastases who had a procedure to block certain liver veins (PVE/HVE). The goal is to learn more about this technique and help future patients.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07445412Recruiting
Liver regeneration study for patients with small future liver remnant
This trial tests techniques to help the liver grow before surgery in people who have a liver tumor and whose future liver remnant is too small. The goal is to make the liver big enough to safely remove the tumor.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731998Recruiting
Improving pain control after cancer surgery
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatic resection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting hepatic resection 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 hepatic resection 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 hepatic resection 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.
