Recruiting studies
- NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a liver pump with standard chemo for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests whether adding a special chemotherapy pump implanted in your liver (hepatic arterial infusion) to standard chemotherapy works better than standard chemotherapy alone for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. The pump delivers high doses of chemo directly to the liver to shrink tumors and possibly control the disease longer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06208397Recruiting
MRI study to understand liver tumor growth patterns
This trial uses MRI scans to study how colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver grows. It may help doctors choose better treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT02885753RecruitingPhase 3
Liver-only metastatic colon cancer trial using targeted chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests different ways to deliver chemotherapy for colon cancer that has spread only to the liver (with limited possible tiny lung spots). It looks at whether the treatment plan improves outcomes compared with another chemotherapy approach, using oxaliplatin and LV5FU2 (with or without irinotecan) plus an added targeted medicine.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06735118Recruiting
Can AI help see chemo-related fatty liver?
This study uses a special MRI technique and artificial intelligence to see how chemotherapy may cause a fatty liver. It may help find liver changes early in people who have had chemo.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–80 - NCT05692024RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Coffee and gut bacteria study after colon or rectal cancer
This early-phase study tests whether a coffee-related approach can change gut bacteria and blood “metabolites” after treatment for stage I–III colon or rectal cancer. The goal is to learn if these changes could help improve health after standard cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05150145Recruiting
Radiation versus observation for liver spread of small cell lung cancer
This trial compares giving liver-directed radiation to watching closely without radiation. It is for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver, to see whether radiation helps control the disease.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT06777914Recruiting
Genes linked to rare liver disease and cancer risk
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
Bologna, BolognaAges 1 year+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07444645Recruiting
New delivery method for liver cancer radiation therapy
This trial tests a special catheter (TriNav) to deliver radiation directly to liver tumors. It aims to improve targeting and reduce side effects for people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06601231Recruiting
Better liver cancer screening with GAAD score and imaging
This study looks at whether adding a blood test (the GAAD score) to standard imaging can better detect liver cancer at an early stage in people with chronic liver disease. It may help you if you have cirrhosis or certain types of liver scarring.
Rotterdam, CAAges 18 years+ - NCT06627634Recruiting
Surgery for stomach cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests if removing the stomach tumor and liver spots together can help people with stomach cancer that has spread only to the liver. It is for those who are healthy enough for surgery and chemotherapy.
Aarhus, JyllandAges 18 years+ - NCT07145177RecruitingPhase 1
Lu177-PSMA with liver treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a targeted radiation drug (Lu177-PSMA) combined with procedures that treat liver tumors directly (like ablation or radiation). It is for men with prostate cancer that has spread to the liver and is no longer responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better together.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07665372Recruiting
Liver transplant from donors with HIV for people with HIV
This study tests whether giving people with HIV a liver from an HIV-positive donor is safe and works well. It looks at infections, cancer risks, and long-term health after transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07033364Recruiting
Liver function study after radiation treatment for metastases
This trial studies how well the liver works after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for cancer that spread to the liver. If you had this specific type of radiation in three large doses, you may help researchers learn more about liver recovery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06864481Recruiting
Study of liver inflammation from immunotherapy drugs
This study follows people who develop liver inflammation (hepatitis) after starting immunotherapy for cancer. It helps doctors understand how often this happens and how to manage it.
MontpellierAges 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 - NCT07280143Recruiting
MASLD risk in breast or colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05215535Recruiting
Liver MRI before rectal cancer treatment
This trial tests whether doing an MRI scan of the liver before rectal cancer treatment helps doctors plan care better. You may be asked to have MRI before starting treatment and follow the study plan.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06487663Recruiting
TACE plus immunotherapy for untreated liver cancer
This study tests combining TACE (a procedure to block the tumor's blood supply) with immunotherapy drugs for liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for their liver cancer and are healthy enough for TACE.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07428356Recruiting
