Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06084234RecruitingPhase 4
National liver cancer screening trial
This trial is testing a new way to screen for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B. It aims to find cancer earlier so it can be treated more effectively.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT03445585Recruiting
Biobank study for primary sclerosing and primary biliary cholangitis
This study collects and stores samples from people with PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis), PBC (primary biliary cholangitis), and some related liver conditions. Researchers use these samples to better understand these diseases and support future research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03968406RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus radiation for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether the cancer drug talazoparib, combined with radiation, can better control recurrent gynecologic cancers in the pelvis/abdomen. It focuses on patients whose cancer has come back locally enough that radiation can be given, while other disease is not rapidly worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03981497Recruiting
Microwave treatment for small, hard-to-remove liver and kidney tumors
This trial tests using a “microwave ablation” procedure to destroy small liver or kidney tumors when surgery isn’t an option or can’t remove everything. It may help patients avoid major surgery by targeting tumors directly with heat.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04606914RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin plus mirvetuximab for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests adding mirvetuximab to carboplatin for people with advanced, high-grade serous ovarian cancer who will first receive “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy. It is designed for tumors that strongly show FRα, which mirvetuximab targets, to see if this improves outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04616495Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if transplant can improve outcomes when the cancer is limited to the liver.
ValenciaAges 18–65 - NCT04806464RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug injection for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests VG161, a study medicine, given by injection into liver or nearby tumors for people with advanced primary liver cancer that has not responded to standard treatment (or there is no standard option). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how the tumors respond.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT05185245Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
BolognaAges 18–73 - NCT05186116Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies whether liver transplant (rather than removing the liver tumors) can help some people with colon or rectal cancer spread to the liver. It’s meant for people whose cancer has responded or stayed controlled on standard treatments and who have no cancer outside the liver.
Modena, MOAges 18–77 - NCT05638269Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in people with serious long-term illness
This study looks at the types of gut bacteria in people living in certain parts of China who have serious long-term (chronic) illnesses. The goal is to better understand how gut bacteria differ and may help doctors in the future tailor care.
Chaoyang, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05659381RecruitingPhase 3
Heated belly chemo plus niraparib after interval surgery for ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether heated chemotherapy placed inside the belly, followed by interval surgery and the maintenance medicine niraparib, can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. It focuses on people whose tumors are HRD/LOH positive and who can have all visible disease removed.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05714124Recruiting
Testing liver procedures to treat tumors when surgery isn’t possible
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05775146RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation to liver metastases after colon cancer treatment
This trial studies giving targeted high-dose radiation (SBRT) to liver metastases from colorectal cancer after initial treatment, with the goal of improving long-term control or cure. It may help people who have a limited number of liver spots that doctors think can be treated safely and effectively.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06139042Recruiting
Early detection of liver, bile duct, and pancreas cancers
This study aims to find new ways to detect liver, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers early using a blood test. It may help doctors diagnose these cancers sooner, when they are easier to treat.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–75 - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06200831Recruiting
Same surgery or two surgeries for colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT06430983Recruiting
Relearning liver cancer: a study of recurrent cases
This trial studies patients with liver cancer, including both the common type (hepatocellular carcinoma) and other types. It aims to understand the cancer better by collecting blood samples and medical information.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary liver cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 229 recruiting primary liver cancer 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 liver cancer 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 liver cancer 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.
