Recruiting studies
- NCT05690048RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to help liver cancer respond to standard drugs
This trial studies whether a fecal microbiota transfer (a “gut bacteria transfer” from a donor) can help liver cancer patients overcome resistance to atezolizumab and bevacizumab. It aims to improve how well the standard medicines control the cancer.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05763277Recruiting
Predicting early response to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab
This study tries to predict how well your cancer responds early after starting a treatment called atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. If you qualify, your information may help doctors choose better treatments sooner for people with advanced liver cancer.
SeoulAges 18–80 - NCT05992584RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, sintilimab, and SIRT for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and sintilimab) plus a procedure called SIRT (radioactive beads) for people with liver cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple approach works better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05994859Recruiting
SIRT for potentially removable liver cancer
This trial tests a targeted radiation treatment (SIRT) for people with liver cancer that is still confined to one side of the liver and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if SIRT can shrink the tumor enough to make surgical removal possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06041477RecruitingPhase 3
Combining treatments for liver cancer before surgery
This study tests whether giving targeted therapy and immunotherapy at the same time or one after the other is better for shrinking liver tumors that can't be removed right now but might be removable after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06190665Recruiting
Bead type comparison for liver cancer TACE
This trial compares two types of tiny beads used in a liver cancer treatment called TACE to see which works better. If you have liver cancer that needs TACE and your liver is still working fairly well, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06205472RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation after liver cancer surgery with narrow margins
This trial tests whether adding a type of radiation (SIB radiotherapy) after liver cancer surgery can improve outcomes for patients whose tumors were removed with very narrow clear margins (less than 1 cm). It may help reduce the chance of cancer coming back in the remaining liver.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06294548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Valemetostat plus atezolizumab and bevacizumab for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—valemetostat, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab—for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who have not had systemic treatment before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05199259Recruiting
Blood test study for people at risk for or with liver cancer
This trial tests a new blood test to help detect liver cancer (HCC) or confirm it’s not present in people with cirrhosis who are being monitored. It may help improve how doctors screen for liver cancer and decide who needs further imaging or treatment.
Escondido, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397222RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments: an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab), a targeted therapy (Bevacizumab), and a type of internal radiation (SIRT) for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06397235RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for large liver cancer tumors
This trial tests whether a combination of two treatments—chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) plus chemotherapy given through the liver artery (RALOX-HAIC)—works better than chemoembolization alone for people with large liver cancer tumors (over 7 cm). The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06467799RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before and after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests giving a liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) plus an immunotherapy (PD-1) before surgery, followed by more immunotherapy after surgery, for people with a specific type of liver cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the risk of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06478693RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MT-303 for advanced liver cancer
This study tests a new drug called MT-303 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or other cancers that produce a protein called GPC3. The drug is designed to target and attack the cancer cells. The trial is in an early phase, so it is looking at safety and how well the drug works.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06537908Recruiting
Check if a new drug combo works for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) and an anti-VEGF drug for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
ShanghaiAges 18–90 - NCT06609876Recruiting
Donafenib after ablation for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether taking the drug donafenib after a procedure called ablation (which destroys liver tumors) can help keep your liver cancer from returning. It is for people whose liver cancer has come back within the past year and who have small, treatable tumors.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–75 - NCT06689670Recruiting
Liver tumor ablation with a needle-based device
This trial tests a needle-based device that uses heat or cold to destroy liver tumors. It is for people with primary or secondary liver cancer who cannot have surgery or a transplant.
Topkapı, IstanbulAges 18–100 - NCT06725121RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy (AtezoBev) before a liver transplant for advanced liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and make transplant possible for more people.
London, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT06774690Recruiting
Arterial treatments for primary liver cancer
This study is watching how treatments that deliver medicine or tiny beads directly into the liver's blood supply work for people with liver cancer. If you have liver cancer and are getting or have gotten one of these treatments, this study wants to learn from your experience.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06819566RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus
This study tests whether tying off high-risk veins in the esophagus before starting a common liver cancer treatment can prevent bleeding. It is for people with liver cancer that has spread but who have never had cancer treatment before.
Seoul, Song-paAges 19–80 - NCT06864195Recruiting
Breath test for liver cancer detection
This study tests a simple breath test to detect liver cancer and monitor liver health. It is looking for patients with liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or people with normal livers to see if the breath test can help tell the difference.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06877637Recruiting
Tracking bile duct and liver cancer during treatment
