Comparing liver cancer screening methods for people with Hepatitis B
This study compares different ways to screen for liver cancer in people with chronic Hepatitis B. It is for adults living in Zhongshan City, China, who are 35 or older and have tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The goal is to find the best method to catch liver cancer early.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 35 years+ - NCT06363006RecruitingPhase 1
Cardonizumab plus TKI for advanced liver cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (Cardonizumab) and a targeted therapy pill (TKI) for people with advanced liver cancer whose prior treatment has stopped working. The goal is to see if this second-line combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07075120RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy and radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) plus targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with liver cancer that is advanced but has not spread outside the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and make them easier to remove with surgery.
Honolulu, HawaiiAges 18 years+ - NCT06422403RecruitingPhase 2
Study on giving immunotherapy less often for advanced cancer
This trial tests whether giving certain immunotherapy drugs less often than usual is safe and still works well for people with advanced stomach, liver, or lung cancer. It might mean fewer hospital visits while still controlling the cancer.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05185505RecruitingPhase 4
Atezolizumab and bevacizumab before liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests giving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab before liver transplant in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is too advanced to be listed within the “Milan criteria,” but still transplant-eligible. The goal is to control the cancer outside the transplant period and improve transplant outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07315633Recruiting
Personalized TARE treatment planning for liver cancer
This trial is testing a new computer tool that uses your own scans to plan TARE treatment for liver cancer. The goal is to make the treatment more personalized and effective.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT03259867RecruitingPhase 2
