Recruiting studies
- NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05497531Recruiting
Test blood DNA to help guide liver and pancreas biopsies
This pilot study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect cancer signals and work as well as another sample method during biopsies for liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancers. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm the diagnosis from biopsy samples.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06835426Recruiting
Imaging removed tissue during cancer surgery
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
Ghent, Oost VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06777914Recruiting
Genes linked to rare liver disease and cancer risk
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
Bologna, BolognaAges 1 year+ - NCT02361320Recruiting
CT scan study for pancreatic or liver bile cancer
This study looks at how CT scans (detailed X-ray pictures) help diagnose pancreatic cancer or hepatobiliary (liver/bile duct) cancers. It may help your care team better decide what’s going on and plan next treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06053333Recruiting
Social factors in liver, bile duct, and gallbladder cancer
This study looks at how social and economic factors (like income, housing, and support) affect people with liver, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer. The goal is to learn more about these factors to improve care and outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07142213Recruiting
Studying a two-step liver surgery for liver cancer
This trial looks at a special two-step surgery called ALPPS for people with liver cancer that can't be removed in one operation. The first step helps the liver grow more healthy tissue, and then the second step removes the tumor. The goal is to understand how well this works and how the liver regenerates.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05098197RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of TIL cell therapy for advanced liver, bile, or pancreas cancer
This trial studies a treatment called TIL therapy, which uses your own immune cells grown from a tumor sample, to treat advanced cancers of the liver/bile ducts or pancreas. It’s mainly for people whose standard treatments have already failed (or none exist), and who can safely provide tumor tissue for the cell preparation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05520788Recruiting
Genetic test-guided treatment for advanced bile and liver cancers
This study looks at using a genetic test (next-generation sequencing) to find cancer gene changes in stage IV hepatobiliary cancer. If there is a matching approved medicine, the study follows how well the “right drug for the right mutation” helps patients receiving palliative care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06252753Recruiting
Observational study of durvalumab for liver and bile duct cancer
This study looks at how well durvalumab (Imfinzi) works for people with liver or bile duct cancer. It follows your treatment as part of regular care to gather more information.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT06549829Recruiting
Nutrition coaching before liver cancer surgery
This trial tests whether getting special nutrition support before surgery helps patients with liver cancer recover better and have fewer complications. It may help you feel stronger and heal faster after your operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07644091Recruiting
Caregiver Stress and Life Quality in Liver Cancer Care
This study looks at how caring for a family member with liver or bile duct cancer affects the caregiver's own stress, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Your feedback helps doctors understand and better support families facing this diagnosis.
Richardson, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06260943Recruiting
Navigating liver cancer care: a study for patients, caregivers, and providers
This study aims to improve how patients with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) get the support and information they need. Researchers will interview patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers to find better ways to navigate care.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06781242Recruiting
Genes and symptoms in inherited bile flow problems
This study looks at how genes affect bile flow problems in the liver. If you have a rare genetic condition like PFIC, researchers want to understand your specific type better by comparing your genes to your symptoms.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07763301RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for advanced liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing an investigational vaccine (YMN-136) for people with advanced liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancer that has not responded to standard treatments or is not tolerated. The vaccine aims to help your immune system fight the cancer. It may be an option if standard treatments have failed.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07033364Recruiting
Liver function study after radiation treatment for metastases
This trial studies how well the liver works after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for cancer that spread to the liver. If you had this specific type of radiation in three large doses, you may help researchers learn more about liver recovery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07124546Recruiting
Acceptance and commitment therapy for cancer distress
This trial tests a type of counseling called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people with incurable cancer feel less distressed. It is done in a group over the internet, so you can join from home.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07364305RecruitingPhase 2
Hepatic artery infusion + immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests combining a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion (HAIC) with immunotherapy to shrink advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to slow tumor growth and improve survival.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07285850RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sequential treatment for advanced liver cancer with fatty liver
This trial tests a combination of two medications, bevacizumab and atezolizumab, given one after the other to treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is specifically for people whose liver cancer is linked to a fatty liver condition (MASLD). The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or control the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatobiliary cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting hepatobiliary cancer 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 hepatobiliary cancer 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 hepatobiliary cancer 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.
