This trial tests whether getting special nutrition support before surgery helps patients with liver cancer recover better and have fewer complications. It may help you feel stronger and heal faster after your operation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06880523RecruitingPhase 2
Adding lenvatinib to immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests adding lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill) to a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the three-drug approach works better than the two immunotherapy drugs alone.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05417932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07179900RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus two drugs for liver cancer that can't be removed
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy with two drugs (QL1706 and bevacizumab) for people with liver cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of the body but can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink or control the tumor.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07010497RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a three-drug combo for advanced liver cancer

SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04365751Recruiting
Microwave ablation versus surgery for liver cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer): microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatectomy (keyhole liver surgery). It may help find which option works better for tumor control and recovery in people with limited, non-spread cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04380545RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo and immune drug for unresectable liver cancer

Houston, TexasAges 12 years+ - NCT04430452RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab with or without tremelimumab after liver radiation
This study tests whether the immunotherapy drugs durvalumab (with or without tremelimumab) can help control hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) after you receive palliative, targeted radiation. It especially focuses on people whose cancer continued to grow after, or without, certain prior immune therapies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05003895RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T for solid tumors with high GPC3 protein
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR-T cell treatment for cancers that make a lot of a protein called GPC3. If you have advanced cancer that has already tried at least one standard treatment, and your tumor has enough GPC3, this study aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and how safe it is.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05155189RecruitingPhase 1
Armored CAR-T treatment for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of an “armored” CAR-T cell therapy (C-CAR031) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). It may help by teaching the body’s immune cells to better recognize and attack the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05317819RecruitingPhase 3
Test ADI-PEG 20 versus placebo for advanced liver cancer
This study tests whether ADI-PEG 20 helps people with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) who have high arginine levels. Participants get ADI-PEG 20 or a placebo to see which works better and improves outcomes.
ChanghuaAges 18–99 - NCT05366829RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab after liver tumor radiation to reduce cancer return
This Phase 2 trial tests tislelizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) given after liver-directed radiation to help prevent hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) from coming back or spreading. It may help by boosting the immune system to better control remaining cancer.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05409482Recruiting
Areal-world test of camrelizumab plus apatinib for liver cancer
This study looks at how well a combination of camrelizumab and apatinib works for people with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer you can’t remove with surgery). It is designed to see results in real-life care for patients who have limited options after standard treatment.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05444478Recruiting
Microwave ablation plus lenvatinib for recurrent liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining heat treatment to kill liver tumors (microwave ablation) with the medicine lenvatinib can better control recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow growth for people whose cancer has come back but who have limited tumor burden.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT05713994Recruiting
Liver cancer treatments together for unresectable liver tumors
This trial tests a combined treatment plan—chemo delivered to the liver, targeted therapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and immunotherapy—to control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow progression when surgery isn’t possible.

Immunotherapy plus targeted drugs after TACE for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of blood-vessel–targeting medicine and immunotherapy after a liver-directed treatment called TACE for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It aims to control tumor growth when surgery or ablation isn’t suitable, and to see if this “conversion therapy” helps patients do better than standard pathways.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05954897RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus tislelizumab with HAIC for advanced liver cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 183 recruiting primary 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 primary 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 primary 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.
