Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - 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.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05001009Enrolling by invitation
Goals of care conversation support for certain serious illnesses
This study helps primary care clinicians and their patients have structured “goals of care” conversations (about what matters most and care preferences). It may help you get clearer, earlier planning—especially if you have a serious illness and higher risk of hospitalization or death.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06607458RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-focused chemo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests giving high-dose melphalan directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by standard cancer therapy, for people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works better than standard treatment alone.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04524871RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy combinations for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests new combinations of immune system medicines in people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured by surgery. It looks for safer treatment and signs that the medicines can shrink or control the cancer.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06486454Recruiting

Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05181826Recruiting
Blood collection study for cancer and benign diseases
This study collects blood samples from people with different health conditions (cancer, diabetes, liver disease, etc.) and from healthy volunteers. The goal is to find markers in the blood that could help detect or monitor diseases.
Redondo Beach, CaliforniaAges 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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06764316RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of BAY 3547926 for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BAY 3547926 for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04864054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study T-cell therapy for advanced liver cancer

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224724Recruiting
Exosome liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer spread
This study uses a blood test to detect if colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver has also spread to other parts of the body. It may help doctors better understand how the cancer is moving and guide treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860815RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab with liver radiation for breast cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a combination of a drug called cemiplimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and a type of targeted radiation (Y-90 SIR-Spheres) given directly to liver tumors. It is for people with breast cancer that has spread to the liver and who have already had at least one type of chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342414Recruiting
Blood test to tell apart two types of liver cancer
This study uses a blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to help doctors tell the difference between two common types of liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). If you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and have a blood sample taken before starting curative treatment, this study may help improve diagnosis and care.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04410302Recruiting
Personalized tumor research for bladder, lung, stomach, and liver cancers
This study uses a small sample of your tumor to grow it in the lab, which may help researchers understand your cancer better and find treatments that work for you.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 21–100 - 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.

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
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
