Recruiting studies
- NCT07764497RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy through liver artery for colorectal cancer that spread to liver
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumors and make the liver healthy enough for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05185245Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
BolognaAges 18–73 - NCT05186116Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies whether liver transplant (rather than removing the liver tumors) can help some people with colon or rectal cancer spread to the liver. It’s meant for people whose cancer has responded or stayed controlled on standard treatments and who have no cancer outside the liver.
Modena, MOAges 18–77 - NCT06988852RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07272928Recruiting
Comparing surgery order for liver spread from colon cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the colon tumor or the liver tumors first affects recovery in patients having both removed at the same time. It helps doctors decide the best surgical approach.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 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 - NCT05098847RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors plus anti-cancer drugs for spread cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) liver metastases works better when combined with immunotherapy (sintilimab) and a targeted pill (lenvatinib). It’s for people whose cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to earlier treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07385521Recruiting
AI to predict cancer return after liver surgery
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict whether colorectal cancer that spread to the liver will come back after surgery. It may help doctors better understand your risk and plan follow-up care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06126419Recruiting
High-dose insulin for liver function after surgery
This trial tests if high-dose insulin can help your liver work better and heal faster after a major liver surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06050200Recruiting
Growth Observation in Liver Surgery
This trial studies a way to help people who need liver surgery but have a very small remaining liver after the operation. It tests a special growth observation approach to see if it can safely increase the size of the future liver remnant.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06179602Recruiting
Study of thermal ablation for liver tumors
This study follows patients who are having a procedure called thermal ablation to treat liver tumors. It aims to learn more about how well the procedure works and how safe it is.
LeidenAges 18–110 - NCT05815082RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03981497Recruiting
Microwave treatment for small, hard-to-remove liver and kidney tumors
This trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07044362Recruiting
Histotripsy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding histotripsy—a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors—to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may be an option if your cancer is mainly in the liver and you are starting or have recently had chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04668872Recruiting
Biopsy after liver radiation to see tumor cell changes
This trial gives radiation to liver tumors and then takes a small tissue sample (biopsy) to look for changes in the cancer cells after treatment. The goal is to learn what the radiation is doing inside the tumor, which may help improve future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 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+ - NCT06200831Recruiting
Same surgery or two surgeries for colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT02917707Recruiting
Study for colon cancer that has spread to the liver
This study focuses on people with colon cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver. It looks at factors that may affect liver metastases and could help doctors better understand who may benefit from future treatments.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT06317181Recruiting
Liver disease evaluation with AI-enhanced ultrasound
This trial tests whether a new deep-learning computer program can better detect liver disease using ultrasound data. It may help improve diagnosis without extra procedures.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT06801665RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy for colon cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), an immunotherapy drug (QL1706), a targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and chemotherapy (XELOX) as a first treatment for advanced colon cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this mix can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
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.
