- NCT06789757RecruitingPhase 2
Study of 3 drugs for liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery
This trial tests if combining two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) with a brain-health medicine (memantine) can help people with advanced liver cancer that isn't treatable with surgery. It aims to see if this triple therapy works better than standard options.

Lenvatinib plus tislelizumab with HAIC for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining three treatments—lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and a liver-directed chemotherapy approach (HAIC)—can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It may help people whose cancer is stage C and hasn’t been treated before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06044506RecruitingPhase 1

Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07863258Recruiting

This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: a targeted oral drug (Donafenib), an immunotherapy (Sintilimab), and a type of chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy works better than current options for people who have not had any prior cancer treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05221398Recruiting
Immunotherapy after liver cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy after surgery to remove liver cancer can help lower the risk of the cancer coming back. It may be an option for people who have certain risk factors for recurrence.

A study of ETN101 for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (ETN101) for adults with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has gotten worse after standard treatments or can't be treated with standard therapy. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
SeoulAges 19–65 - NCT06406634RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab, Lenvatinib, and HAIC for Unresectable Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and a direct chemotherapy infusion into the liver (HAIC). The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07850882Recruiting
Virus injection plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer
This study tests whether a special virus injected directly into tumors can help your body fight cancer when combined with an immunotherapy drug. It is for people with advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer that has spread and who have tumors that can be reached for injection.
Guangdong, FoshanAges 18–75 - NCT07848750Recruiting
Finger-press test for liver cancer detection
This study tests a new, non-invasive finger-press test that may help detect liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). It compares results from people with liver cancer, people with benign liver disease, and healthy people to see if the test can tell them apart.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07840092Recruiting
Blood and tissue markers for liver cancer treatment response
This study looks at blood and tissue samples from people with liver cancer to find markers that can predict how well treatment works and whether the cancer might come back. It may help doctors personalize treatment and follow-up care.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07832006RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination treatment for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It combines a procedure (irreversible electroporation) that uses electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells, with targeted therapy (lenvatinib) and immunotherapy (sintilimab) to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Beijing, No. 1 Shuaifuyuan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, ChinaAges 18–75 - NCT05844046RecruitingPhase 2
Triple drug treatment for advanced liver cancer that can’t be removed
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines together (durvalumab, tremelimumab, and bevacizumab) to treat non-surgical (non-resectable) liver cancer. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression by boosting the immune system and blocking tumor blood supply.

Combination treatment before and after surgery for intermediate-stage liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, and a targeted therapy drug before and after surgery for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07793695RecruitingPhase 2
Zinc plus immune therapy for advanced liver cancer
This study tests whether adding zinc supplements to standard targeted and immunotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer. Zinc may help the immune system work better against cancer cells.

Immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation for liver cancer with portal vein clot
This trial combines two immunotherapy drugs with a targeted therapy, radiation, and a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion for liver cancer that has spread to the portal vein (the main blood vessel to the liver). The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help people live longer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07782632Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 478 recruiting hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) 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 (hcc) 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 (hcc) 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.
