Liver surgery database study for liver tumors
This study collects information from people having liver surgery for a non-cancerous tumor or for liver cancer (primary or cancer that spread to the liver). It doesn’t usually add treatment—your care is documented to help doctors learn and improve future decisions.

Orphenadrine for muscle cramps in people with cirrhosis
This trial tests whether orphenadrine (a medication used to reduce muscle cramping) can lessen muscle cramps in people who have cirrhosis of the liver. It may help if your cramps happen often, but you must avoid certain medication conflicts and health situations.
TantaAges Any age - NCT04140578RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic prevention for certain liver disease patients
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics can help people with certain liver conditions avoid infections after an endoscopy-related procedure. It may reduce infection risk, but it also requires that you have no signs of infection and haven’t recently taken antibiotics.
TaipeiAges 20–85 - NCT04172753Recruiting
Online MRI-guided radiation therapy on a 1.5T machine
This trial checks whether it’s practical and safe to deliver radiation treatment using real-time MRI guidance, with the process supported online. It may help patients whose doctors recommend radiation by testing a modern way to plan and deliver treatment more precisely.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT02863250Recruiting
Blood transfusion registry for people needing frequent transfusions
This registry collects information from adults who receive frequent red blood cell transfusions. It may help clinicians understand transfusion needs and improve future care.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04556019Recruiting
Study of past and future liver and bile-pancreas surgeries
This is a research study using information from people who had certain liver, bile duct, and pancreas surgeries in the hospital’s surgical team. It aims to review surgical results and may help improve how these operations are done.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 15–90 - NCT03569826Recruiting
Study for primary biliary cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis
This study is for people diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis or autoimmune hepatitis. It aims to learn more about these autoimmune liver conditions and may help guide better care in the future.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT01403402Recruiting
Study of congenital muscle disease patients and their families
This trial collects health information from patients with certain inherited (genetic) muscle diseases and from their families. It may help researchers better understand the disease and improve care by learning what symptoms and treatments patients experience over time.
Lakewood, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05255978Recruiting
Follow-up study for hepatitis B with fatty liver
This observational study looks at people with chronic hepatitis B who also have fatty liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). It follows how their liver health changes over time and may help doctors understand outcomes and risk factors.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04363983Recruiting
Study of immune and tumor interactions in digestive cancers
This study looks at how tumors in the digestive system interact with the body’s immune system and the surrounding environment. Results may help improve understanding of these cancers and guide future treatments.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT04946773Recruiting
Deep liver testing study for cancer and non-cancer liver disease
This study looks closely at how the liver’s immune system and disease processes work in people with liver problems, including some with suspected or confirmed liver/bile duct cancer. You may also be offered a liver needle sample (FNA) if it’s safe for you.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 18–75 - NCT05323201RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
B7H3 CAR-T therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an immune therapy made from your own blood cells (CAR-T) to treat advanced, unresectable liver cancer. It’s designed for people whose tumor has a specific marker called B7H3 and who meet blood, organ, and safety requirements.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05327478Recruiting
Compare treatments for controlled donation after circulatory death
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 50–75 - NCT05399745Recruiting
Study of biliary atresia in children with heart disease
This trial is studying children who have biliary atresia, a serious liver problem, including some who also have tetralogy of Fallot (a congenital heart condition). It also includes healthy children for comparison, and may help researchers understand the illness and treatments better.
CopenhagenAges birth–18 years - NCT05466565Recruiting
Peginterferon antiviral treatment after liver cancer surgery
This trial studies an antiviral medicine given after surgery for liver cancer to help prevent the cancer from coming back. It focuses on people who are hepatitis B–positive (HBsAg positive) and have complete remission on follow-up checks.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–65 - NCT04767945Recruiting
Cirrhosis patient hospital registry

PET/CT scan to guide liver transplant decisions in liver cancer
This trial studies how a whole-body PET/CT scan using a “tracer” called 18F-FDG can help decide which people with liver cancer (HCC) may benefit from a liver transplant. It may help the transplant team better sort out who is likely to do well after transplant.
AntwerpAges 18–80 - NCT05534906Recruiting
Detecting very early liver cancer and tracking its natural course
