Recruiting studies
- NCT07594340RecruitingPhase 3
Advanced Liver Cancer Treatment Comparison Study
This study compares two treatment approaches for advanced liver cancer that has spread within the liver but not to other parts of the body. Both treatments combine chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver with immunotherapy drugs to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07239245RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immunotherapy for high-risk liver cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of two therapies—targeted chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver (TACE) plus immunotherapy (atezolizumab) and a targeted drug (bevacizumab)—can keep liver cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people whose tumors can be surgically removed but are at high risk of recurrence.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06280313Recruiting
Splenectomy with targeted therapy and immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests whether removing the spleen (splenectomy) can improve the effectiveness of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who also have enlarged spleens due to portal hypertension. It aims to see if this combination can help control the cancer better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05484908Recruiting
Tested treatment for hepatitis B-related liver cancer after immunotherapy
This trial studies whether the ALSS treatment is safe and effective for people with hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma who recently received immune checkpoint inhibitors. It may help improve outcomes for certain liver-related complications after immunotherapy, based on how their liver tests look.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06742892RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HLX43 for advanced liver cancer after standard treatment fails
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has worsened or caused intolerable side effects after standard treatments like immunotherapy or targeted therapy. The goal is to see if HLX43 can help when other options have stopped working.
Hunan, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07417397RecruitingPhase 3
TACE after surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a liver-directed treatment called TACE (transarterial chemoembolization) after surgery can help prevent liver cancer from coming back in people with high-risk features.
NanningAges 18–70 - NCT07105748RecruitingPhase 2
HAIC plus Camrelizumab and Rivoceranib for advanced mixed liver-bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for a rare form of liver cancer that is both hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma: HAIC (chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery), Camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack cancer cells), and Rivoceranib (a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors). It may be an option if you haven't had prior systemic therapy for this cancer and your liver function is stable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07327788RecruitingPhase 2
Study of QL1706, bevacizumab, and chemo infusion for liver cancer with portal vein clot
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the main portal vein. The goal is to see if this therapy can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06560827RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T Cells for Liver Cancer After Surgery
This trial is testing a new treatment made from your own immune cells (called CT011 CAR-T cells) to see if it can lower the risk of liver cancer coming back after surgery. It is designed for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into nearby blood vessels.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07147335Recruiting
Blood test for early liver cancer warning in cirrhosis
This study looks at whether a blood test for a protein called AKR1B10 can help give early warning of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in people with cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis and are between 18 and 75 years old, you may be able to join.
Hengyang, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05407519RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and sitravatinib after liver cancer surgery to prevent relapse
This trial studies whether combining two medicines (tislelizumab and sitravatinib) given after curative liver cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with liver cancer at high risk of recurrence, who have fully recovered from surgery and have no spread beyond the liver.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT05489289RecruitingPhase 3
AK104 to prevent HCC coming back after surgery
This trial tests whether AK104, taken after liver cancer surgery, can lower the chance that the cancer returns. It is for people with high risk of recurrence but no remaining cancer after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06031285RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus TACE-HAIC for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab), a targeted anti-angiogenic drug (bevacizumab biosimilar), and liver-directed therapies (TACE-HAIC) before and after surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma that has spread to the portal vein. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes for patients with advanced but resectable liver cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06523608Recruiting
Predicting liver problems in advanced chronic liver disease
This study looks at people with advanced chronic liver disease to find ways to predict when they might get worse or develop liver cancer. Researchers hope to use this information to prevent complications and improve care.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07273708Recruiting
Immune cell study in liver cancer patients on immunotherapy
This study looks at how your immune cells respond to two specific immunotherapy-based treatments for advanced liver cancer. Researchers want to understand why some patients respond well and others do not, which could help improve future care.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–90 - NCT07223424RecruitingPhase 2
Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05095714Recruiting
Fast MRI for close monitoring of high-risk liver cancer
This trial studies a faster MRI scan to help track early liver cancer in people who have cirrhosis and are considered high risk. It may improve how often and how well doctors can look for changes without using longer imaging sessions.
BondyAges 18 years+ - NCT05475613RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to shrink advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests an immunotherapy “downstaging” plan to shrink hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) so it may become treatable with a liver transplant. You may be eligible if your cancer is beyond transplant limits but is still only in the liver, and you meet specific liver function and health requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06454578RecruitingPhase 2
Study of adebrelimab plus apatinib after liver cancer surgery
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs (adebrelimab and apatinib) after liver cancer surgery to see if it can lower the chance of the cancer returning. It is for people whose tumors had high-risk features.
