- NCT05620706Recruiting
GPC-3 CAR-T for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests CAR-T cell therapy (immune cells changed to target GPC-3) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, especially when standard treatments no longer work or you cannot tolerate them. If eligible, the goal is to shrink tumors and help you live longer with improved cancer control.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 40–70 - NCT05926726Recruiting
GPC3-targeted CAR-T for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) that targets a marker called GPC3 in people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer). It’s for cases where standard treatments have not worked well, and the goal is to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06201065RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06326502RecruitingPhase 1
A study of ETN101 for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an experimental oral drug (ETN101) for adults with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has gotten worse after standard treatments or can't be treated with standard therapy. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.

Cardonizumab plus TKI for advanced liver cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (Cardonizumab) and a targeted therapy pill (TKI) for people with advanced liver cancer whose prior treatment has stopped working. The goal is to see if this second-line combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06363825RecruitingPhase 2
New combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of treatments for advanced liver cancer: a targeted therapy (apatinib), an immunotherapy (camrelizumab), and two local treatments (TAE and HAIC). It may be an option if you have a high tumor burden or a tumor thrombus in the portal vein and haven't had systemic treatment before.
FuzhouAges 18–80 - NCT05738616RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lenvatinib plus TACE and immunotherapy before liver surgery
This study tests whether a combination of the drug lenvatinib, a liver treatment called TACE, and the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma enough to make surgery (or “conversion resection”) possible. It may help some people live longer by improving the chance that the cancer can be removed.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06406634RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab, Lenvatinib, and HAIC for Unresectable Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and a direct chemotherapy infusion into the liver (HAIC). The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06478927Recruiting
Palbociclib for advanced liver cancer after other treatments
This trial tests a drug called palbociclib for people with advanced liver cancer who have already tried at least two other treatments. The goal is to see if palbociclib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07793695RecruitingPhase 2

This study tests a new way of giving immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to find the best dose for each patient, which may help control the cancer with fewer side effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06595108Recruiting
Targeted therapy and radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer.
Yongin-siAges 19–80 - NCT06461624RecruitingPhase 1
GPC3 CAR-T cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy, called CAR-T cells, that are engineered to target a protein called GPC3 found on liver cancer cells. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has not responded to previous treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06301399RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab with prior therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests if adding rituximab to previous cancer treatments can help people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) that has stopped responding or caused side effects. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 17–79 - NCT06694636Recruiting
RF Ablation of Nerve for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests whether using radiofrequency ablation (using heat energy) to target specific nerves can help treat advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread or grown despite standard treatments.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 25–75 - NCT07560488RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy Combination for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of four treatments (two immunotherapy drugs, a blood-vessel-blocking drug, and chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver) to shrink unresectable (inoperable) advanced liver cancer and potentially make it removable by surgery. The goal is to help patients who have never had cancer treatment before.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 158 recruiting locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma 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 locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma 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 locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma 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.
