TIPS with half-dose Donafenib for liver cancer with portal hypertension
This trial tests a treatment that combines a procedure called TIPS with a targeted therapy drug (Donafenib) at half strength. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein and caused high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and reduce complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06909708Recruiting
Comparing two liver cancer treatments for unresectable tumors
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: SIRT (a type of internal radiation) and cTACE (a type of targeted chemo). It aims to see which is more effective for patients with limited tumor spread and good liver function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05967143Recruiting
Registry study for first-time SIR-Spheres in liver tumors
This is an observational (real-world) study that follows people with certain unresectable liver tumors who are getting SIR-Spheres for the first time. It helps doctors understand how this treatment is used in routine care and what outcomes patients experience.
Clichy, CedexAges 18 years+ - NCT07521852RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination with immunotherapy for liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CVM-1118 combined with an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) and a procedure called TACE (a catheter-based treatment that delivers medicine directly to tumors) in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that cannot be cured by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is effective and safe.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04601428RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Liver artery treatment for certain liver cancer patients
This early-phase study tests a treatment delivered through the liver’s artery for people with intermediate or limited advanced liver cancer who can’t have surgery. It aims to control the cancer after prior targeted liver treatments didn’t work or the cancer grew again.
Tainan, North Dist.Ages 18 years+ - NCT05690048RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to help liver cancer respond to standard drugs
This trial studies whether a fecal microbiota transfer (a “gut bacteria transfer” from a donor) can help liver cancer patients overcome resistance to atezolizumab and bevacizumab. It aims to improve how well the standard medicines control the cancer.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06077591Recruiting
Genetic and organoid testing to guide cancer treatment
This trial uses advanced testing (genetic sequencing and lab-grown tumor models) to find the best treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to at least one standard treatment. The goal is to personalize therapy based on your tumor's unique features.
Hong Kong, N.T.Ages 18–100 - NCT06198296RecruitingPhase 1
Armored CAR T cells for GPC3-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called CAR T cells that are trained to find and attack cancer cells with a specific marker (GPC3). The CAR T cells are also 'armored' with extra proteins (IL-15 and IL-21) to help them work better. It might be an option for adults with advanced solid tumors, especially liver cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments.

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06735560Recruiting
PET scan with a tracer for liver, bile duct, or neuroendocrine tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer (zirconium-labelled girentuximab) to see if it can find and track certain liver, bile duct, and pancreatic/intestinal neuroendocrine tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide treatment decisions.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07178093Recruiting
Mushroom extract for liver cancer after TACE

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 48 recruiting refractory 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 refractory 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 refractory 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.
