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+ - 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+ - NCT05775146RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to liver metastases after colon cancer treatment
This trial studies giving targeted high-dose radiation (SBRT) to liver metastases from colorectal cancer after initial treatment, with the goal of improving long-term control or cure. It may help people who have a limited number of liver spots that doctors think can be treated safely and effectively.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03494946Recruiting
Liver transplant vs chemotherapy for colon cancer liver spread
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06638502RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing HRX215 for liver recovery after surgery
This trial tests a drug called HRX215 to see if it is safe and helps the liver recover after surgery to remove colon cancer tumors that have spread to the liver. It is for people who are having either a minor or major liver resection and have a low risk of liver failure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT07223307RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation for liver cancers
This trial tests a precise MRI-guided radiation treatment for liver cancers, including liver cancer, bile duct cancer, or cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to target tumors more accurately while protecting healthy tissue.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06567353Recruiting
Heat-based immunotherapy for breast cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new treatment that uses heat to target liver tumors and boost the immune system. It is for women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver who cannot have or do not want surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05240950RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for colorectal cancer in the liver
This Phase 1 study tests an anti-CEA CAR-T cell treatment for people whose colorectal cancer spread to the liver but has been surgically removed with no visible remaining tumor. It aims to see if the treatment can better prevent the cancer from coming back, especially when early warning tests suggest leftover cancer cells.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05428735Recruiting
Liver-first treatment study for colorectal cancer spread to liver
This trial studies a “liver-first” approach for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver, to see if it can help more people have the tumor(s) removed or treated. You may be eligible if your liver involvement is too extensive for immediate surgery but could become treatable after a specific plan.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05755672Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver metastases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 107 recruiting liver metastases studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a liver metastases trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a liver metastases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
