NanningAges 18–70 - NCT07422753RecruitingPhase 2
TACE with immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of TACE (a procedure that blocks blood supply to the tumor) plus three immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, ipilimumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than TACE alone.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05984511Recruiting
Combined treatment for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (atezolizumab/bevacizumab) and a type of internal radiation (I-125 seeds) to standard chemoembolization (TACE) can help people with liver cancer that has spread into the main liver blood vessel (portal vein). It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05520788Recruiting
Genetic test-guided treatment for advanced bile and liver cancers
This study looks at using a genetic test (next-generation sequencing) to find cancer gene changes in stage IV hepatobiliary cancer. If there is a matching approved medicine, the study follows how well the “right drug for the right mutation” helps patients receiving palliative care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06594744RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing first bleeding from varices in liver cancer patients
This trial compares two treatments (banding or a medication called carvedilol) to prevent the first episode of bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus in people with liver cancer. The goal is to find which approach is safer and more effective.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT07395635Recruiting
Nutrition supplement study for liver surgery patients
This trial tests whether a special nutrition mix (immunonutrition) helps patients recover better after major liver surgery. You may be eligible if you are having a large liver tumor removed.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–90 - NCT06397235RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for large liver cancer tumors
This trial tests whether a combination of two treatments—chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) plus chemotherapy given through the liver artery (RALOX-HAIC)—works better than chemoembolization alone for people with large liver cancer tumors (over 7 cm). The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors more effectively.
