Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06157060Recruiting
Predicting liver cancer return after surgery with a blood test
This trial is for people with early-stage liver cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It uses a simple blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after treatment, which may help predict if the cancer will come back.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07064681Recruiting
AK104 plus TACE for resectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (AK104) to a standard liver cancer treatment (TACE) helps prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with early-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed and who have a high risk of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07268131Recruiting
TITAN-HCC: Testing immunotherapy plus TACE for liver cancer beyond standard criteria
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.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 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+ - NCT04380545RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo and immune drug for unresectable liver cancer
