Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- NCT07227012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments for adults with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for people who have not had prior systemic therapy and have good liver function.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 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.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07507643RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid treatment before liver surgery study
This study tests if a steroid called methylprednisolone can help people recovering from major liver surgery. It aims to see if it reduces inflammation and improves outcomes.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04933435Recruiting
Image-guided radiation plus liver procedures for non-surgical liver cancer
This trial studies a combination approach—special, image-guided radiation and liver procedures—for liver cancer patients who cannot have surgery. It may help shrink tumors while protecting liver function by using planned, targeted treatment.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–130 - NCT07225114RecruitingPhase 2
Better ultrasound imaging with contrast before biopsy
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 45–75 - 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - 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.
