Two ways to give chemo plus immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This study tests whether a combination of chemotherapy (FOLFOX) plus two immunotherapy drugs (Camrelizumab and Apatinib) works better when given directly into the liver artery (HAIC) versus through a vein. It's for people with advanced liver cancer who haven't had other treatments yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06060769Recruiting
MRI risk assessment for liver cancer in chronic liver disease
This study uses special MRI scans to better predict liver cancer risk in people with chronic liver disease. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve monitoring.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06930573RecruitingPhase 4
AK112 for high-risk liver cancer after surgery
This study tests a new drug called AK112 (a combination antibody targeting two proteins that help tumors grow) after surgery for liver cancer that has a high chance of returning. The goal is to see if it can prevent the cancer from coming back.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07242417RecruitingEarly Phase 1
TC-G203 for adults with GPC3-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy (TC-G203) for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein called GPC3. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for those who haven't responded to standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05985798RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus TACE vs. Targeted Therapy plus TACE for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab and bevacizumab) plus a procedure called TACE (chemoembolization) against a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib) plus TACE for people with advanced liver cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07475026RecruitingPhase 3
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk liver cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and lenvatinib) given before surgery can lower the risk of liver cancer coming back in people with early-stage but high-risk disease.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT03539822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
