Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT05705219Recruiting
3D ultrasound scan to guide treatment decisions in liver cancer
This study tests whether a special 3D ultrasound scan (using contrast) can help support decisions for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you have planned new cancer treatment, the scan may add information to help doctors guide care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02081755Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Everolimus after liver transplant to lower liver cancer return
This trial studies whether everolimus, a transplant medicine, can safely reduce the chance that liver cancer comes back after liver transplant. It compares how well the treatment works while carefully monitoring side effects and safety.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145801RecruitingPhase 2
Y-90 treatment response for liver cancer
This trial tests how well a Y-90 radiation treatment works for liver cancer that hasn't been treated before. It uses ultrasound imaging to check the response.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06252753Recruiting
Observational study of durvalumab for liver and bile duct cancer
This study looks at how well durvalumab (Imfinzi) works for people with liver or bile duct cancer. It follows your treatment as part of regular care to gather more information.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT07082439RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and Odetiglucan for Liver-Dominant Colorectal Cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs, pembrolizumab and odetiglucan, in people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver and has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of liver tumors.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT04339036RecruitingPhase 2
CapTem plus Y-90 for liver-spread neuroendocrine tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining capecitabine/temozolomide (“CapTem”) with Y-90 treatment can shrink neuroendocrine tumor (NET) spread in the liver. It may help people whose tumor is mostly in the liver and cannot be fully removed with surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02174549RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a drug with liver artery treatment for liver-spread neuroendocrine cancer
This early-stage study tests a cancer drug called tirapazamine, given along with a liver artery procedure (embolization) to treat liver-dominant metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the combination can better control tumor growth in the liver.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 20–99 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Chadds Ford, PennsylvaniaAges 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.

What taking part in a liver cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
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.
