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.

This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) and a liver-directed procedure (TACE) before and after surgery for people with liver cancer that is larger or more advanced than the usual transplant criteria. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.

Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07521852RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination with immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CVM-1118 combined with an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) and a procedure called TACE (a catheter-based treatment that delivers medicine directly to tumors) in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that cannot be cured by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is effective and safe.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07219459RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for liver cancer after PD-1/PD-L1 treatment fails
This study tests three drugs (visugromab, nivolumab, lenvatinib) compared to a placebo plus lenvatinib for people with liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed or has spread, and who have already been treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor without success. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06796803RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (camrelizumab), a targeted drug (rivoceranib), and liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC) to shrink liver tumors enough to make them removable with surgery. It is for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT07010497RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a three-drug combo for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (Irpagratinib, Atezolizumab, and Bevacizumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03894917Recruiting
Study blood and imaging features in older adults with liver cancer
This study looks at what liver cancer is like in newly diagnosed people who are older and whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better understand disease behavior and how treatments may work and affect the body.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03897543RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ABX196 plus nivolumab for advanced liver cancer
This trial studies whether ABX196 combined with nivolumab can slow or treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) when it can’t be fully cured with surgery or local procedures. It’s early-phase, so the goal is to find the best way to treat and whether it shows signs of benefit.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07703735Enrolling by invitation
Survival after ABO-mismatch living donor liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial looks at how well patients with liver cancer do after receiving a living donor liver transplant that is not the same blood type. It compares survival and cancer return for these patients.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT04134559RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for kids with liver cancer that came back
This trial studies pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) in children and young people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has returned or did not respond to earlier treatment. The goal is to see whether it can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges birth–30 years - NCT04430452RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab with or without tremelimumab after liver radiation
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) can help control hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) after you receive palliative, targeted radiation. It especially focuses on people whose cancer continued to grow after, or without, certain prior immune therapies.

This trial studies whether a combination of immune therapy (atezolizumab) and a blood-vessel-targeting drug (bevacizumab) works better than a standard procedure called TACE for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer (HCC). It may help shrink tumors and help patients live longer with fewer complications.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04823403RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted liver delivery of immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This early-phase study tests how well giving ipilimumab directly into the liver (via an artery) and nivolumab through a vein works for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05155189RecruitingPhase 1
Armored CAR-T treatment for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of an “armored” CAR-T cell therapy (C-CAR031) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It may help by teaching the body’s immune cells to better recognize and attack the cancer.

- Are there clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 484 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.
