Recruiting studies
- NCT06553885RecruitingPhase 2
Study of enfortumab vedotin for advanced colorectal or liver cancer

Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07223424RecruitingPhase 2
Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.

Peptide vaccine plus immunotherapy for a specific cancer gene fusion
This Phase 1 study tests a custom vaccine made to match a specific cancer genetic change (DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion). It’s combined with an approved immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitor) to help your immune system recognize and fight the cancer. You may be considered if your cancer is advanced or has spread and you meet several blood/organ and health requirements.

Testing atezolizumab plus bevacizumab with SBRT for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well a combination treatment works for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or other local treatments. It combines two immune/targeted medicines with a focused type of radiation (SBRT) to control the tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06360042RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus anti-angiogenic drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial is testing a combination of immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) and drugs that block blood vessel growth (anti-angiogenic agents) as a first treatment for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03539822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cabozantinib and immunotherapy for advanced stomach or bowel cancers
This early-phase study tests a combination of anti-cancer pills and immune-based treatment for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, colorectal, or liver cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and see how safe the treatment is, including whether biopsy testing can help guide future care.
Westwood, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04204850RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for liver cancer that returns after liver transplant
This trial studies cabozantinib, a cancer medicine, for liver cancer that has come back after a liver transplant. It’s for people whose cancer can’t be cured with more surgery or local procedures, to see if the treatment can help control the disease.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05443087Recruiting
Checking blood levels of targeted drugs for digestive cancers
This trial monitors how your prescribed targeted cancer medicine moves through your body by doing extra blood tests. The goal is to understand the drug’s levels and dosing in people with advanced digestive cancers, so treatment can be better managed.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05652920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for liver cancer that has GPC3
This early-phase study tests modified immune T cells (CAR T cells) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer, when the tumor shows a marker called GPC3. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, especially after other treatments have stopped working.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 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.
