Recruiting studies
- NCT03198546RecruitingPhase 1

This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T cells) for advanced liver cancer that has the GPC3 protein. It aims to see whether these engineered cells can find and kill cancer cells safely and help shrink the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04803318RecruitingPhase 2
Test of three targeted medicines for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 2 study tests trametinib plus everolimus plus lenvatinib in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or cannot be treated anymore. It aims to control tumor growth and symptoms when standard options have not worked.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT04952272RecruitingPhase 1
Shots into the tumor to boost the immune system
This Phase 1 study tests an injection given directly into an advanced solid tumor to help the immune system better recognize and attack cancer. It may help people with advanced solid tumors, but the goal at this early stage is mainly to check safety and how the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT03949231RecruitingPhase 3
Infusion immunotherapy through the liver artery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune “brakes” medicines (PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4) delivered through the liver’s artery, to help treat advanced liver cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer more effectively, especially if other local liver treatments aren’t possible or have stopped working.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06487663Recruiting
TACE plus immunotherapy for untreated liver cancer
This study tests combining TACE (a procedure to block the tumor's blood supply) with immunotherapy drugs for liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for their liver cancer and are healthy enough for TACE.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06492408RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery for liver cancer. It aims to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who are candidates for surgery.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07814014Recruiting
Systemic therapy options for liver cancer
This trial studies which systemic treatments (medicines that travel through the blood to reach cancer cells) work best for patients with advanced liver cancer. It aims to find the most effective approach to slow tumor growth and improve quality of life.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07811687Recruiting
Liver and spleen surgery for liver cancer with cirrhosis
This study tests whether removing part of the liver along with the spleen during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery helps improve liver function and the immune system in people with liver cancer and cirrhosis. If you qualify, you may have better surgical outcomes and recovery.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07801287RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment before and after surgery for intermediate-stage liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy drugs, radiation therapy, and a targeted therapy drug before and after surgery for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07806292RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for inoperable liver cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs (anlotinib and benmelstobart) with a liver-directed chemotherapy procedure (HAIC) in people with liver cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this combo shrinks tumors and is safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06518434RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabis oil for advanced liver cancer study
This study tests if cannabis oil can help people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be treated with standard therapies. It is a small pilot study to see if the oil is safe and may improve symptoms or quality of life.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - 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.
Jinan, ShandongAges 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 - NCT06561399Recruiting
Triple therapy followed by radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation therapy can help people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is for people who have already received a combination of TACE, lenvatinib, and sintilimab and whose tumors have not grown.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT04770207RecruitingPhase 2
Injecting a cancer drug mixture directly into tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment where drug-loaded tiny beads are injected into a solid tumor, using more than one medicine. It may help people with advanced solid cancers by delivering the drugs right at the tumor site.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT07727759Recruiting
CT scan to predict liver failure after surgery
This trial uses special CT scans to create a map of your liver's blood vessels before surgery. The goal is to predict if your liver might fail after part of it is removed, so doctors can better plan your care.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05440864RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for operable liver cancer before surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies durvalumab and tremelimumab (immunotherapy medicines) in people with resectable early or intermediate-stage liver cancer (HCC). It aims to see how well these medicines work before/around the time of surgery, and whether they can improve outcomes.

Triple therapy for advanced liver cancer with bile duct invasion
This study tests a combination of three treatments—TACE (a procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumor), lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill), and tislelizumab (an immunotherapy)—for people with liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts and can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy helps shrink or control the cancer.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06569498Recruiting
Triple therapy before surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of three drugs given before surgery can help shrink liver cancer and improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be removed. It is for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that is still operable.

TIPS with half-dose Donafenib for liver cancer with portal hypertension
This trial tests a treatment that combines a procedure called TIPS with a targeted therapy drug (Donafenib) at half strength. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein and caused high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and reduce complications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 581 recruiting hepatocellular carcinoma 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 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 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.
