Recruiting studies in California
- 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+ - 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.
Coronado, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - 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.

What taking part in a hepatobiliary cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there hepatobiliary cancer clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting hepatobiliary cancer studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a hepatobiliary cancer study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a hepatobiliary cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
