Recruiting studies
- NCT06526104RecruitingPhase 2
Tremelimumab and durvalumab for advanced liver cancer with Child-Pugh B
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, tremelimumab and durvalumab, for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who have moderate cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B). The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07483359RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests a combination of liver-directed chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy to shrink advanced liver cancer that has a blood clot in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver). The goal is to make the tumor removable by surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT05331911RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol anesthesia vs sevoflurane for liver tumor surgery
This study compares two types of general anesthesia—propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane inhaled anesthesia—during planned surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see whether the anesthesia choice affects long-term outcomes after partial liver removal for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06899854Recruiting
Collecting blood and tissue from patients with liver cancer
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from people with primary liver cancer who are starting their first treatment (systemic therapy or surgery). The samples help researchers learn more about these cancers and how to improve future treatments.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT06914648Recruiting
Liver preparation before surgery study for certain liver cancers
This study tests a procedure called portal vein embolization (PVE) to help grow the healthy part of the liver before surgery. It may be an option for people with certain liver cancers who need more healthy liver tissue before their operation.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05705492RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to help cancer-related weight and appetite loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether olanzapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and not eating enough. It looks for improvements in appetite and weight while you receive your first-line palliative cancer treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05738980Recruiting
Reduce liver cancer return after surgery using anti–TIM-3
This trial studies whether blocking TIM-3 (an immune “brake”) can help stop hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) from coming back after a curative surgery. It may help by improving your immune system’s ability to find and control remaining cancer cells.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07047586RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus Tislelizumab vs Lenvatinib alone for liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining two targeted drugs (lenvatinib and tislelizumab) works better than lenvatinib alone for people with advanced liver cancer whose disease worsened after prior treatment with an immunotherapy and a blood vessel growth blocker (bevacizumab).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07100392RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for advanced liver cancer after first treatment fails
This study tests a combination of three drugs—TUDCA (a bile acid supplement), camrelizumab (an immunotherapy), and regorafenib (a targeted therapy)—for people with advanced liver cancer that has continued to grow after earlier immunotherapy plus Avastin treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help stop the cancer from growing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07436845Recruiting
Emotion and treatment for advanced liver cancer
This trial studies if emotional health affects how well targeted therapy and immunotherapy work for people with advanced liver cancer. You will receive chemotherapy directly into the liver along with targeted drugs and immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06157060Recruiting
Predicting liver cancer return after surgery with a blood test
This trial is for people with early-stage liver cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It uses a simple blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after treatment, which may help predict if the cancer will come back.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07417800Recruiting
Predicting liver cancer treatment after surgery
This study uses digital scans of your tumor tissue and CT/MRI images to build a computer model that helps predict whether you might need extra treatment (adjuvant therapy) after liver cancer surgery. The goal is to use your own tissue and scan data to personalize follow-up care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05594927RecruitingPhase 3
Test icaritin vs huachansu for advanced liver cancer with poor health
This Phase 3 trial compares two medicines—icaritin soft capsules versus huachansu tablets—as first treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has “poor prognosis” blood test markers. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for people who can’t use standard first-line treatments or don’t want them.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT03895359RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted radiation versus chemo alone for liver cancer
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that can’t be removed with surgery: chemo through the liver (TACE) alone versus TACE plus a precise radiation treatment (SBRT). It may help people whose cancer stays in the liver but can’t be operated on, by testing whether adding focused radiation improves outcomes.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05024214RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test of envafolimab plus lenvatinib for advanced solid tumors
This trial studies whether combining envafolimab (an anti-immune cancer medicine) with lenvatinib (a targeted pill) can shrink or control advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard care. It may help people whose tumors are not curable with usual treatments, by testing a new combo and finding safe doses.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06899152Recruiting
New tests to track liver health during radiation for liver cancer
This study tests new blood tests and MRI scans to see how well your liver works during radiation therapy for liver cancer. It may help doctors better plan treatment and monitor your liver health.

Immunotherapy and radiation for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) plus targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with liver cancer that is advanced but has not spread outside the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and make them easier to remove with surgery.
Honolulu, HawaiiAges 18 years+ - NCT07536789RecruitingPhase 2
Testing MRG003 for Advanced Liver Cancer After Prior Treatment
This trial tests a new drug called becotatug vedotin (MRG003) for patients with advanced liver cancer that has progressed despite previous immunotherapy. The drug is designed to target cancer cells while potentially causing less harm to healthy tissue.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07328009RecruitingPhase 2

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.
