Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07159048Recruiting
Heat therapy for liver tumors
This trial tests a heat-based treatment for liver cancer tumors that uses multiple methods to destroy cancer cells. It may help people with liver tumors that haven't spread and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06978933RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two new drugs for FGF19-positive liver cancer
This trial tests two new targeted drugs (ABSK-011 and ABSK043) for people with advanced liver cancer whose tumors have high levels of the FGF19 protein and who have already tried at least one other treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07059936Recruiting
AI and scans to predict immunotherapy response in liver cancer
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze your CT or MRI scans and help predict how well immunotherapy might work for your liver cancer. The goal is to find better ways to match you with the right treatment and improve your outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07001085Recruiting
Blood test to monitor liver cancer after surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to monitor tiny pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver or with liver cancer (HCC), before and after liver surgery or transplant. It aims to help doctors detect cancer return earlier and guide treatment.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT06841172RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation vs treatment switch for limited liver cancer growth
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a few growing cancer spots while continuing your current treatment works better than switching to a new treatment right away. It's for people whose advanced liver cancer has only barely started to progress on their first therapy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06031285RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus TACE-HAIC for liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 177 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.
