Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 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+ - NCT07820644Recruiting
Liver cancer risk prediction in chronic liver disease
This study aims to predict the risk of developing liver cancer in people with chronic liver conditions such as hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease. By participating, you may help researchers improve early detection and prevention strategies for liver cancer.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06536998Recruiting
Liver Cancer Imaging and Tumor Study
This study looks at how liver cancer appears on CT or MRI scans and how it connects with the tumor's biology. It aims to find better ways to understand and treat liver cancer by linking imaging features with the tumor environment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07764497RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy through liver artery for colorectal cancer that spread to liver
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the liver artery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumors and make the liver healthy enough for surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07636148Recruiting
Registry of minimally invasive cancer treatment with advanced imaging
This study collects information from patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures to treat solid tumors (cancers) using advanced CT imaging guidance. Researchers want to understand how well this imaging technique helps doctors perform these procedures safely and effectively.
Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT07602504Recruiting
Metastatic Liver Cancer Patient Registry Study
This study collects health information from patients with cancer that has spread to the liver. Researchers will track your medical history and outcomes to better understand how metastatic liver cancer develops and progresses.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07587216Recruiting
Liver Cancer Patient Database Study
This study builds a database of information from liver cancer patients treated at Tongji Hospital. Researchers will collect your medical records and treatment information to better understand liver cancer diagnosis and care over time.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - 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.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06766643RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. radiofrequency ablation for liver cancer
This study compares two nonsurgical procedures for liver cancer: stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) and radiofrequency ablation (heat therapy). It is for people whose tumor is in a tricky spot near major blood vessels or other structures, making surgery difficult, and who have not received prior treatment.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07466602Recruiting
Using DNA to detect liver cancer return
This trial uses a blood test to check for signs of liver cancer coming back after treatment. It may help find recurrence earlier than standard scans.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07459309Recruiting
Combination treatment for liver cancer for people who can't have surgery
This trial tests a new combination treatment that uses heat (ablation) and other therapies to destroy liver tumors. It's for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to, and whose tumor is a specific size.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07445412Recruiting
Liver regeneration study for patients with small future liver remnant
This trial tests techniques to help the liver grow before surgery in people who have a liver tumor and whose future liver remnant is too small. The goal is to make the liver big enough to safely remove the tumor.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447050RecruitingPhase 2
Riluzole to Prevent Chemo-Related Cognitive Problems
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT07410676RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Donor NK cells with IL-15 and pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (natural killer cells) made from a donor, combined with low-dose IL-15 (a protein that helps these cells work) and sometimes with pembrolizumab (Keytruda), for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07356531Recruiting
Thermosensitive Embolic Agent for Liver Cancer TACE
This trial tests a new heat-sensitive embolic agent used during TACE (a procedure that blocks blood flow to tumors and delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver) for primary liver cancer. It aims to see if the agent is safe and effective for patients who need TACE treatment.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07303725Recruiting
Spectral CT scan during cancer tumor treatment
