Recruiting studies
- NCT07537205Enrolling by invitation
Nurse-led preparation program for liver cancer surgery
This study tests whether a personalized preparation program led by nurses before liver cancer surgery helps patients recover better and have fewer complications. The program is designed specifically for people scheduled to have part of their liver removed.
Shanghai, XuhuiAges 18–84 - NCT07466602Recruiting
Using DNA to detect liver cancer return
This trial uses a blood test to check for signs of liver cancer coming back after treatment. It may help find recurrence earlier than standard scans.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05057052RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors with immunotherapy and a pill drug
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) plus sintilimab (an immune system medicine) and regorafenib (a pill) can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for people whose cancer has come back or progressed after at least two prior chemotherapy treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06555003RecruitingPhase 3
DEBIRI plus chemo vs. chemo alone for liver metastases
This trial tests if a treatment called DEBIRI (tiny beads delivering chemo directly to the liver) plus standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be fully removed by surgery.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06630624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IP-001 with ablation for colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests whether adding the drug IP-001 to tumor ablation (microwave or irreversible electroporation) helps control colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to find the best dose and see how the immune system responds.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06848465RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus chemo-immunotherapy for colon cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06852820RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-targeted radioactive therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment called 177Lu-PSMA-617 for advanced liver cancer that has not responded to first-line immunotherapy. You need a PSMA-PET scan first to see if your cancer absorbs the treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06801665RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
ChangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT04491929Recruiting
Radiation treatment for colon cancer in the liver using tiny beads
This trial studies a targeted liver radiation procedure that uses tiny radioactive beads to treat colon cancer spread mostly in the liver. It may help people whose liver tumors cannot be removed or treated with other common local treatments, but it has several safety and “screening” checks.
Aarhus N, DanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06345508Recruiting
Finding liver cancer early with ultrasound
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to catch liver cancer sooner. If you have regular imaging checks for liver cancer or are getting an MRI for a liver spot, you may be able to join.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03432806Recruiting
Looking at tissue samples to guide colon cancer treatment
This study collects tissue, blood, and imaging samples from people having surgery for colon cancer or related liver tumors, to learn more about the disease and potentially improve future treatments.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06130280RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation for liver tumors from colorectal cancer
This trial tests a single, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) guided by MRI for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this precise, one-time treatment can effectively control liver tumors while protecting nearby organs.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07441369Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Abemaciclib with chemotherapy for advanced colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests combining the targeted drug abemaciclib with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and cannot be removed surgically. It may be an option if you've already tried two or three prior treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07704489Recruiting
Liver and bile duct cancer registry study
This registry collects information from people with liver cancer or bile duct cancer to learn more about the disease and its treatment. Anyone 18 or older with any stage of these cancers can join.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07312292RecruitingPhase 2
Radioembolization with angiotensin II to boost tumor radiation dose
This trial tests whether adding a drug called angiotensin II (which tightens blood vessels in healthy tissue) during radioembolization can deliver more radiation directly to liver tumors. It is for people who have liver tumors (either primary or that have spread to the liver) and are scheduled for radioembolization.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07445412Recruiting
Liver regeneration study for patients with small future liver remnant
This trial tests techniques to help the liver grow before surgery in people who have a liver tumor and whose future liver remnant is too small. The goal is to make the liver big enough to safely remove the tumor.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07392567Recruiting
AI predicts liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict if colon or rectal cancer will spread to the liver. You will have a CT scan before surgery, and the AI will analyze the scan to see if it can forecast future liver metastasis.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07109440Recruiting
FAPI PET/CT scan for colorectal cancer liver spread
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) to get a better look at the environment around colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and plan treatment.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT03844399Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging during liver or kidney procedures
This study uses a new 3D ultrasound scan while you get standard care for a liver or kidney biopsy or ablation. The goal is to see whether the imaging is clear and useful during these procedures.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06787183RecruitingPhase 2
Short-course radiation with chemoimmunotherapy for rectal cancer that has spread to the liver
This trial tests whether combining short-course radiation with a chemotherapy regimen (CAPOX) and an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) can help treat rectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is designed for patients who have not had any prior cancer treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05797077RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07177742Recruiting
Study of protein in blood to predict liver spread of colon cancer
This study looks at whether a substance in your blood (called PRDX1, found in tiny particles called exosomes) can help predict if colon cancer will spread to the liver after surgery. It may help doctors understand who needs more monitoring or treatment.
