This study looks at how loss of muscle strength or mass (sarcopenia) relates to advanced liver disease. It may help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk and could guide future care choices.
EksjöAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06060769Recruiting
MRI risk assessment for liver cancer in chronic liver disease
This study uses special MRI scans to better predict liver cancer risk in people with chronic liver disease. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve monitoring.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04745403RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of redirected HBV-targeting T cells for liver cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment that targets hepatitis B (HBV)–related liver cancer. It may help by directing the body’s immune system to attack the cancer, while carefully checking safety.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - 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+ - NCT06236568Recruiting
Liver transplant study for liver cancer patients
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
Modena, MOAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05062837RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Surgery plus two drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial combines surgery to remove liver tumors with two drugs, camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and apatinib (a targeted therapy that may cut off the tumor's blood supply). It aims to see if this combination helps people with advanced liver cancer that has spread outside the liver (but not to the brain) and who have chosen not to have other standard treatments like TACE or radiation. Participating could potentially control the spreading cancer and improve outcomes.
NanningAges 18–75 - NCT06215651RecruitingPhase 2
Testing cadonilimab and lenvatinib before liver cancer surgery
This study tests whether a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and lenvatinib) can shrink liver cancer enough to make it removable by surgery for people whose cancer was previously too advanced for surgery. You may qualify if your cancer hasn't spread far, you haven't had treatment before, and your liver is still working fairly well.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05652920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for liver cancer that has GPC3
This early-phase study tests modified immune T cells (CAR T cells) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer, when the tumor shows a marker called GPC3. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, especially after other treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05714124Recruiting
Testing liver procedures to treat tumors when surgery isn’t possible
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06327269RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted therapy after liver transplant for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests a targeted therapy (lenvatinib) given after a living-donor liver transplant to prevent high-risk liver cancer from coming back. It is for people whose cancer is aggressive or did not respond well to previous treatments.
