Recruiting studies near Cleveland
- NCT05486572Recruiting
Ultrasound or MRI to help prevent liver cancer deaths
This study compares ultrasound scans versus MRI scans to see which one better helps prevent deaths from liver cancer in people with cirrhosis. You may be assigned to one of the two imaging tests and follow-up visits to track whether liver cancer develops or is caught early.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06852820RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-targeted radioactive therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment called 177Lu-PSMA-617 for advanced liver cancer that has not responded to first-line immunotherapy. You need a PSMA-PET scan first to see if your cancer absorbs the treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06875128RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-directed chemo with standard chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests if giving a high dose of chemotherapy directly into the liver, followed by standard chemotherapy, is safe and works better than standard chemo alone for people with breast cancer that has spread mostly to the liver.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04939051RecruitingPhase 2
Obeticholic acid to prevent Barrett’s esophagus worsening
This Phase 2 trial tests whether obeticholic acid (a medicine) can help stop Barrett’s esophagus from getting worse. You must already be taking acid-suppressing medicine and have non-cancer Barrett’s changes, and the study checks safety and whether the lining improves or stays stable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06263088Recruiting
Equity in GI Cancer Care Study
This trial is looking for Black patients newly diagnosed with any stage of gastrointestinal cancer to help improve cancer care and make sure research includes everyone. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better support patients like you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 45–75 - NCT06914648Recruiting
Liver preparation before surgery study for certain liver cancers
This study tests a procedure called portal vein embolization (PVE) to help grow the healthy part of the liver before surgery. It may be an option for people with certain liver cancers who need more healthy liver tissue before their operation.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06717919RecruitingPhase 4
Testing HOPE treatment to prevent liver cancer return after transplant
This study tests a special way of preserving donated livers, called HOPE, to see if it lowers the chance of liver cancer coming back after a liver transplant. If you have liver cancer and are waiting for a transplant, this trial might be an option for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06486454Recruiting
Liver tumor treatment with sound waves
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to destroy liver tumors without cutting or needles. It may be an option if you have a liver tumor that can be partly or fully targeted by this technique.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT07717437Recruiting
Liver cancer registry for patients who had vein embolization
This registry collects medical images and health information from patients with liver cancer or liver metastases who had a procedure to block certain liver veins (PVE/HVE). The goal is to learn more about this technique and help future patients.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07044362Recruiting
Histotripsy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding histotripsy—a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors—to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may be an option if your cancer is mainly in the liver and you are starting or have recently had chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07166406RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with or without targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation (called SBRT) to standard immunotherapy (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the blood vessels or outside the liver. You may be asked to participate in one of two treatment groups to see which approach works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06084234RecruitingPhase 4
National liver cancer screening trial
This trial is testing a new way to screen for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B. It aims to find cancer earlier so it can be treated more effectively.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05168163RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether atezolizumab combined with a multi-targeted (“multi-kinase”) inhibitor can treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or local procedures. It focuses on people whose cancer has already grown despite a first-line treatment using atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
