- NCT06187961RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery
This study tests a combination of three treatments (HAIC, lenvatinib, and cadonilimab) as a way to shrink liver tumors that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to make the tumors smaller so they might be removed later, and to see how safe and effective this combination is.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06811116RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial studies a combination of two drugs for advanced liver cancer with a specific gene change. The goal is to see if adding sapanisertib to the usual cabozantinib treatment helps people live longer without their cancer growing.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07689175RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a flexible dose of immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This study tests a new way of giving immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to find the best dose for each patient, which may help control the cancer with fewer side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07782632Recruiting
Imaging scans to predict immunotherapy response in liver cancer
This study looks at how doctors can use imaging scans to predict how well immunotherapy will work for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Participants must have already received immunotherapy and have had baseline scans.

The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with intermediate or advanced stage liver cancer.
Taoyuan City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07482059RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It uses a special radiation therapy called Y90 along with other drugs to see if they work better together.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07118202Recruiting
TheraBionic device for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a device called TheraBionic P1 for people with advanced liver cancer that has not responded to other treatments. It may be an option if you have tried at least two prior therapies or cannot take standard treatments.
Bay City, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT07495735Recruiting
Predicting response to liver cancer treatment
This study is looking at how well a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) works for people with liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to learn how to predict the best response using lab tests and CT scans.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05168163RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether atezolizumab combined with a multi-targeted (“multi-kinase”) inhibitor can treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or local procedures. It focuses on people whose cancer has already grown despite a first-line treatment using atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07179900RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus two drugs for liver cancer that can't be removed
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy with two drugs (QL1706 and bevacizumab) for people with liver cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of the body but can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink or control the tumor.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 591 recruiting hepatocellular carcinoma 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 hepatocellular carcinoma 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 hepatocellular carcinoma 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.
