Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03894917Recruiting
Study blood and imaging features in older adults with liver cancer
This study looks at what liver cancer is like in newly diagnosed people who are older and whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better understand disease behavior and how treatments may work and affect the body.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03942328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell vaccine plus checkpoint treatment after liver radiation
This trial tests a combination of a personalized immune cell treatment (made from your own cells) and a pneumococcal vaccine along with an “immune checkpoint” drug after high-dose radiation for certain unresectable liver cancers. The goal is to help your immune system better attack the cancer and to see how safe and effective this approach is.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06461624RecruitingPhase 1
GPC3 CAR-T cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy, called CAR-T cells, that are engineered to target a protein called GPC3 found on liver cancer cells. It is for people with advanced liver cancer that has not responded to previous treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 137 recruiting unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) 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 unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) 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 unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) 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.
