Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT04601428RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Liver artery treatment for certain liver cancer patients
This early-phase study tests a treatment delivered through the liver’s artery for people with intermediate or limited advanced liver cancer who can’t have surgery. It aims to control the cancer after prior targeted liver treatments didn’t work or the cancer grew again.
Tainan, North Dist.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04782557Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided blood sampling to track cancer DNA
This study uses an ultrasound-guided procedure to collect blood and check for cancer DNA (small bits of tumor material in the bloodstream). It aims to see whether this method can better track how gastric, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer responds to treatment.
Hong KongAges Any age - NCT04823403RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted liver delivery of immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This early-phase study tests how well giving ipilimumab directly into the liver (via an artery) and nivolumab through a vein works for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It is for people whose cancer cannot be removed with surgery or treated with a transplant, especially after standard treatment failed or wasn’t tolerated.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT04902807Recruiting
Tool to help decide diagnosis and treatment in immune disorders
This trial tests a tool (a way of collecting health information) to help doctors make better diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions for children with certain immune problems. It also includes healthy children (like relatives) as comparison groups, to see how well the tool works.
ParisAges 1–18 - NCT04908319Recruiting
Studying liver tissue in urea cycle disorders
This study looks at liver tissue (under a microscope) in people with urea cycle disorders to better understand liver changes from the condition. It may help clinicians learn what to watch for and how to manage liver health, especially around liver biopsy or transplant.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT04953910RecruitingPhase 1
Oral decitabine for cancers with liver problems
This Phase 1 trial studies how a pill form of decitabine/cedazuridine behaves in the body and how safe it is for people whose livers don’t work normally. It may help doctors better understand dosing and safety in patients with hepatic impairment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05030571Recruiting
Plasma adsorption for adults with liver failure in the ICU
This trial studies a treatment called the Double Plasma Molecular Adsorption System (DPMAS) for people with acute-on-chronic liver failure while they are in the ICU. It aims to see whether filtering certain substances from blood can improve outcomes and safety for critically ill patients.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT05195450Recruiting
Tenofovir to stop liver disease in mild hepatitis B
This trial tests tenofovir alafenamide (a hepatitis B antiviral medicine) to see if it can prevent liver disease from getting worse in people with chronic hepatitis B who currently have stable (normal) liver blood tests and low virus levels. It may help lower the chance of developing serious liver complications over time.
