Testing immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer using blood tests
This study looks at how well immune-checkpoint therapy (a PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy) works for advanced liver cancer, using “liquid biopsy” blood testing to guide or monitor care. It may help your team better track your cancer and response without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05821010RecruitingPhase 2
Synbiotics and fecal transplant for non-alcoholic liver inflammation
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking special gut-helping products (synbiotics) and/or a fecal microbiota transplant can improve non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of liver inflammation. It may help by changing gut bacteria that may affect liver health, but you must meet specific safety and medical criteria.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–75 - NCT05842850Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in people born with low birth weight
This trial focuses on people who have fatty liver disease (extra fat in the liver) and were born with low birth weight. It aims to test an approach in this specific group, which may help clarify what helps the liver in higher-risk people.
AarhusAges 35–40 - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture to treat nerve pain from oxaliplatin chemotherapy
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce nerve pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with gastrointestinal cancers. It may help lessen symptoms like tingling, numbness, or burning that affect hands or feet.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05876182RecruitingPhase 2
Vancomycin for primary sclerosing cholangitis
This Phase 2 study tests whether the antibiotic vancomycin can improve primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a long-term bile-duct disease. You may be eligible if you have confirmed PSC and certain blood test and safety criteria, and you can follow medication washout rules.
Monza, Monza E BrianzaAges 15–70 - NCT05895890Recruiting
Studying alcohol-related liver disease and addiction care
This study follows adults with alcohol-related liver disease to better understand and manage alcohol addiction and related health problems. You may be able to help researchers by sharing health information and consented care experiences.
Clamart, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–75 - NCT05901519RecruitingPhase 2
Prednisone to protect the liver during focused radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether prednisone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) can help protect the liver in people with hepatocellular carcinoma who are getting stereotactic body radiation therapy. It may reduce liver stress from radiation and help you tolerate treatment safely.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05926336RecruitingPhase 4
Different anesthesia drugs during cancer surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines to see how they may affect outcomes after surgery for certain primary cancers. You may be considered if you’re having planned (elective) surgery under general anesthesia and meet the safety and health criteria.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT05954429RecruitingPhase 2
Study of fruquintinib plus immunotherapy after standard CRC treatment
This trial studies fruquintinib combined with serplulimab (an immune therapy) for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. It may help by slowing the cancer’s growth and improving outcomes after the usual options have been tried.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05971108Recruiting
Check a blood test system to catch liver cancer early
This study will test a real-world blood testing system (Elecsys GAAD) to improve surveillance and earlier detection of liver cancer in people who already have liver scarring (cirrhosis). If it works well, it could help find liver cancer sooner and potentially improve outcomes.
Manchester, Greater ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05982769Recruiting
Exercise for cirrhosis patients
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–65 - NCT05984745RecruitingPhase 2
CoQ10 for fatty liver linked to metabolic issues
This study tests if CoQ10 (a natural supplement) can improve liver health in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). It may help if you have a fatty liver and related metabolic issues like high blood pressure or diabetes.
CairoAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06007846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Memantine for advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis
This trial tests if memantine, a medication typically used for memory problems, can help people with advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis. It is for those who cannot have standard aggressive treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06015022RecruitingPhase 2

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06015620Recruiting
Health changes after mini gastric bypass surgery
This study looks at how mini gastric bypass surgery helps with obesity-related health problems and changes in body composition. It aims to see if patients experience improvements in conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06039696Recruiting
