Study of 3 drugs for liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery
This trial tests if combining two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) with a brain-health medicine (memantine) can help people with advanced liver cancer that isn't treatable with surgery. It aims to see if this triple therapy works better than standard options.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06794073Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial is testing a combination of treatments for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), an immunotherapy that boosts your immune system (PD-1 blocker), a procedure that destroys tumors with heat or cold (ablation), and a chemo procedure that delivers medicine directly to the liver (TACE). The goal is to see if this mix is safe and effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06852820RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA-targeted radioactive therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a radioactive treatment called 177Lu-PSMA-617 for advanced liver cancer that has not responded to first-line immunotherapy. You need a PSMA-PET scan first to see if your cancer absorbs the treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06911255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing two immunotherapy drugs with chemoembolization for liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (tremelimumab and durvalumab) to a standard liver cancer treatment called TACE can help people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. TACE uses tiny particles to block the blood supply to the tumor and delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06915753RecruitingPhase 1
TYRA-430 for advanced liver cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests an oral drug called TYRA-430 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or other solid tumors that have changes in the FGF/FGFR pathway. It aims to see how safe the drug is and whether it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
