SeoulAges 19–65 - NCT06257030Recruiting
Liver tumor treatment study for large tumors
This study tests a targeted radiation treatment called Y90 for liver tumors that are too large for standard approaches. It aims to see how well the treatment works for people with primary or secondary liver cancers that mainly affect the liver and have at least one tumor bigger than 5 cm.
Pátrai, AchaiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06590259RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation plus drug therapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses heat or cold (ablation) to destroy liver tumors along with medicines that boost your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and who could not have surgery, or whose first treatment stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07623265Recruiting
Understanding Immunotherapy Response in Liver Cancer
This study collects tumor samples and medical information from patients with liver cancer to understand why some patients respond better to immunotherapy (immune-boosting drugs) than others. The goal is to improve treatment selection and outcomes for future patients.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07495215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized mRNA vaccine plus immunotherapy for liver cancer after surgery
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (iNeo-Vac-R01) combined with a PD-1 inhibitor to prevent liver cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with early-stage liver cancer who have a high risk of recurrence.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05010681RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib plus immunotherapy after prior liver cancer treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests lenvatinib combined with the immunotherapy drug sintilimab in people with advanced liver cancer who got worse after prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. It aims to slow cancer growth and improve outcomes after immune therapy hasn’t worked.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07295340Recruiting
