This study looks at how genes affect bile flow problems in the liver. If you have a rare genetic condition like PFIC, researchers want to understand your specific type better by comparing your genes to your symptoms.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07173868Recruiting
PET scans for advanced breast cancer treatment planning
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (FDG PET-CT) can better track how well treatment is working for people with advanced breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the best therapy and monitor response over time.
Seoul, Gannam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT05062317RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test-guided chemotherapy after liver tumor removal
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA, a sign of cancer cells shedding into the blood) to help guide chemotherapy after surgery to remove colorectal liver metastases. It may help patients get the right chemotherapy plan after their operation, potentially based on whether cancer material is still detectable.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07086989Recruiting
Heart health study for kids with chronic conditions
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
BudapestAges 6–25 - NCT04982653RecruitingPhase 2
Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05195710RecruitingPhase 1
Pre-surgery Y-90 treatment to grow future liver volume
This trial tests a radiation treatment called Y-90 given before liver surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to help the liver grow enough for safer, curative surgery, either right away or as part of a two-step operation.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT07063875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding IL-2 to tebentafusp for advanced eye cancer
This trial tests if adding another drug called IL-2 to tebentafusp can help stop cancer from growing in people with advanced melanoma that started in the eye (uveal melanoma). It is for those whose cancer got worse while on tebentafusp alone.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05185505RecruitingPhase 4
Atezolizumab and bevacizumab before liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests giving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab before liver transplant in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is too advanced to be listed within the “Milan criteria,” but still transplant-eligible. The goal is to control the cancer outside the transplant period and improve transplant outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06788002RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation and chemoimmunotherapy for NPC with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–70 - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04143516RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test tissue testing right after liver tumor ablation
This study looks at liver metastases treated with a procedure that destroys tumors (ablation) and then checks tumor tissue right away. The team wants to see whether the tissue results can guide immediate retreatment to better control cancer in the liver.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07485114Recruiting
Galectin-3 levels in patients on immunotherapy for cancer
This study looks at a protein called galectin-3 in people with certain cancers who are getting immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors). It aims to see if galectin-3 levels can help predict how well the treatment works.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18 years+ - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06858735RecruitingPhase 2

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05039632RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NBTXR3 plus radiation with anti-PD-1 for advanced lung or liver cancers
This study tests whether adding NBTXR3 (given into a tumor) and targeted radiation to anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy can improve cancer control in advanced cancers that have spread to the lung and/or liver. Participants may be assigned to different radiation approaches to try to trigger tumor shrinkage in both treated and nearby or distant tumor areas.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05901519RecruitingPhase 2
Prednisone to protect the liver during focused radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether prednisone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) can help protect the liver in people with hepatocellular carcinoma who are getting stereotactic body radiation therapy. It may reduce liver stress from radiation and help you tolerate treatment safely.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06674811Recruiting
