This study looks at biological markers (substances measured in the body) during treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works, using patients who are treated with a goal of cure.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–110 - NCT04796818Recruiting
MRI scan to track response in colorectal liver metastases
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how colorectal cancer in the liver responds to planned chemotherapy before and after surgery. It may help doctors better measure treatment success and plan care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07390838RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SH009 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called SH009 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04678583Recruiting
Surgery plan for RAS-mutant colon cancer liver metastases
This trial studies an approach to surgically removing liver metastases from colon (or rectal) cancer that has an RAS gene mutation (KRAS or NRAS). If you qualify, you would be evaluated for whether a “complete” (R0) liver operation is planned and technically possible, aiming to improve cancer control by how the liver is cut.
Mannheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05169177Recruiting
Tracking liver tumor medicine on CT during radiation
This study checks whether a special “contrast” medicine used in liver cancer can be clearly seen on CT images while you receive radiation. The goal is to better track where the medicine is during treatment, which may improve how radiation is guided.
Waratah, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06018714RecruitingPhase 2
Modified fruquintinib for colorectal cancer with liver metastases
This trial tests a modified version of the drug fruquintinib for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for those who have had successful liver-directed treatment (surgery, ablation, or radiation) and have no signs of cancer left, then finished chemotherapy without the cancer growing back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02920554Recruiting
Surgery comparison for T2–T3 gallbladder cancer
This study looks at whether a specific type of liver surgery (removing tissue in a wedge shape versus a different liver resection) improves outcomes for some patients with T2 or T3 gallbladder cancer. It may help decide the best surgical approach after the gallbladder has already been removed.
SuwonAges 19–80 - NCT07398326RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread to the liver
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (anlotinib and sintilimab) as a first treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to places other than the liver, who do not want chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this targeted therapy can help control the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06093022Recruiting
Treatment options for breast cancer that has spread to the liver
This study looks at how breast cancer that has spread to the liver responds to different treatments, including surgery and medicines. The goal is to learn which approach works best for patients with this condition.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT06353126RecruitingPhase 4
Chemoembolization before liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests whether using chemotherapy beads delivered directly to the liver (DEB-TACE) before a living donor liver transplant improves outcomes for people with liver cancer. If you have a tumor in the right side of the liver that fits certain size and number limits, and you are already scheduled for a transplant, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06725121RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy (AtezoBev) before a liver transplant for advanced liver cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and make transplant possible for more people.
London, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT07504471RecruitingPhase 2
Bicarbonate plus chemo and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer liver spread
This trial tests adding sodium bicarbonate to a chemotherapy plus immunotherapy regimen for pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04622423Recruiting
Advanced therapies for colon or pancreas liver metastases
This study tests advanced treatments for cancer that has spread to the liver, either from colon cancer or pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting liver tumors using treatment plans and, for some participants, liver tissue samples.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06888063RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo pump into the liver for bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed
This trial tests whether giving extra chemotherapy directly to the liver through a small pump (called HAIP) before or after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with bile duct cancer inside the liver. It is for patients whose cancer is considered removable by surgery.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07027605Recruiting
Testing a computer tool for colorectal liver metastasis prognosis
This trial is testing a computer program that helps doctors predict outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for patients who have had surgery to remove both the colon and liver tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06349278Recruiting
Surgery for pancreatic cancer with limited liver spread after chemo
This trial is for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver (3 spots or fewer). It tests whether removing both the original tumor and the liver spots after a specific chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX) can be helpful. You may be eligible if the chemo shrinks the tumors enough and you are healthy enough for surgery.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03445585Recruiting
Biobank study for primary sclerosing and primary biliary cholangitis
This study collects and stores samples from people with PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis), PBC (primary biliary cholangitis), and some related liver conditions. Researchers use these samples to better understand these diseases and support future research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT05992220RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with or without radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) with or without targeted radiation therapy for liver cancer that has invaded the major blood vessels of the liver. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps shrink tumors or slow the disease.
SeoulAges 20–79 - NCT06789848RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This trial tests two investigational drugs, ligufalimab and cadonilimab, for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) or bile duct cancer (biliary tract cancer, BTC) that has not responded to previous treatment with an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07059936Recruiting
