AI-Assisted Staging and Treatment Planning for Liver Cancer
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help doctors better stage (classify the severity of) and plan treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of primary liver cancer. Researchers will collect your clinical information and imaging to see if AI can improve decision-making about your care.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06550921Recruiting
Ablation plus lenvatinib and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted procedure (ablation) to burn away cancer spots, when combined with lenvatinib and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), can help control liver cancer that has spread to a few places. It's for people whose liver tumors are already responding to treatment.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–75 - NCT05057845RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy and a pill for liver cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) combined with tislelizumab and lenvatinib can help shrink advanced liver cancer and improve outcomes after earlier treatments stopped working or caused side effects. It may be an option if your cancer can’t be removed with surgery and you’ve already tried one prior systemic (whole-body) treatment.

Study of new drug combinations for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1, alone or together with other drugs, in people with advanced liver cancer that has not improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if these combinations can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06485466RecruitingPhase 3
TACE plus Camrelizumab and Apatinib for liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery
This trial tests combining a liver-directed treatment (TACE) with two medications (Camrelizumab and Apatinib) to see if it works better for people with liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is for people who have not had any previous treatment for their cancer.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06470256RecruitingPhase 1
Surgery plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests if removing the main liver tumor with surgery, followed by targeted therapy and immunotherapy, can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread a little. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose liver is still working well.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06624098Recruiting
Early TIPS for Advanced Liver Cancer with Vein Blockage
This study tests whether placing a small tube (TIPS) early in people with advanced liver cancer and a vein blockage helps their other treatments work better. It is for patients who are already taking lenvatinib and immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06902389RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Multi-target immune cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (multi-target Hi-TCR-T cells) for people with advanced liver cancer that hasn't responded to earlier treatments. The therapy targets several markers on your cancer cells to try to attack the tumor more effectively.
Shanghai, Yangpu DistrictAges 18–75 - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970666RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immunotherapy and VEGF drug for unresectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining TACE (a liver-targeted chemo procedure) with two medicines—an immune “checkpoint” drug and a blood-vessel blocking drug—can control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. It’s designed for people who can’t have surgery or curative ablation, and who still have reasonably strong liver and overall health.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06349980RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for liver cancer not yet treated
This trial is testing a combination of three drugs (HLX10, HLX04, and HLX53) to find the best dose and see if they help people with advanced liver cancer who have not had systemic treatment before. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06609850Recruiting
Comparing TACE plus lenvatinib with or without ablation for recurrent liver cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people whose liver cancer has come back (recurrent intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma). One group gets TACE plus lenvatinib (a targeted therapy), the other gets TACE plus lenvatinib plus ablation (a procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold). The goal is to see which combination works better.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–75 - NCT06644430Recruiting
Burning lung spots plus systemic therapy for liver cancer
This trial tests whether burning away a few cancer spots in the lungs (called ablation) can help people with liver cancer who are already on a systemic treatment. If you have stable liver cancer and only a few lung spots that haven't grown, you may be eligible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07036874Recruiting
Predicting outcomes in liver cancer with non-invasive tests
This study uses non-invasive tests, like scans or blood tests, to predict how well people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) will do after curative treatment. It may help doctors better understand your condition without needing invasive procedures.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 185 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.
