Recruiting studies
- NCT06492408RecruitingPhase 2

Three treatments for large liver cancer with portal vein spread
This trial tests adding a second liver-directed treatment (hepatic artery infusion) to the usual combination of targeted therapy (lenvatinib) and chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for people with large liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein, to see if the triple therapy works better.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06508307RecruitingPhase 1

Check if a new drug combo works for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) and an anti-VEGF drug for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
ShanghaiAges 18–90 - NCT06544083Recruiting

This trial is testing if a blood test can find liver cancer early. It may help people who are newly diagnosed or suspected to have liver cancer and have not started treatment yet.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06544629Recruiting
Real-world study of Imjudo and Imfinzi in South Korea
This study collects information on how well Imjudo and Imfinzi work in real-world settings for patients who are prescribed these drugs as part of standard care in South Korea. It helps doctors understand how these treatments perform outside of clinical trials.
BusanAges Any age - NCT06553885RecruitingPhase 2
Study of enfortumab vedotin for advanced colorectal or liver cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people whose colorectal or liver cancer has spread or cannot be removed and has stopped responding to or is intolerant to standard treatments. The drug is given through a vein and works by targeting cancer cells.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06577272Recruiting
Predicting cancer return after tumor ablation
This study looks at people with liver cancer who are treated with a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA). It aims to create a tool that can predict the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06593964Recruiting
TACE with a special gel vs standard beads for liver cancer
This trial compares a new gel-like treatment to standard beads for blocking the blood supply to liver tumors during TACE. It may be an option for patients with certain stages of liver cancer who cannot have surgery or other standard treatments.
NanjingAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06602011Recruiting
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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 589 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.
