Comparing two treatments for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests two different ways to treat liver cancer that can't be removed with surgery. It compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (targeted high-dose radiation) with selective internal radiation therapy (tiny radioactive beads delivered through a blood vessel), both combined with immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer).
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07305428Recruiting
Making large liver tumors removable with immunotherapy and focused radiation
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and high-precision radiation (SBRT) to shrink large or multiple liver tumors in people with hepatocellular carcinoma, with the goal of making them small enough for surgery. It's for people who cannot currently have their tumors removed but might become eligible after treatment.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07327034RecruitingPhase 2
ABSK-011 with standard care for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ABSK-011, combined with standard care, against a placebo with standard care for people with advanced liver cancer that has a specific marker called FGF19 overexpression. The goal is to see if ABSK-011 can help slow the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07391839RecruitingPhase 1
MDN-001 injection for liver cancer that can't be surgically removed
This trial tests an injection called MDN-001 for people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery or other local treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for patients whose cancer has not spread outside the liver.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07413354RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and huaier granule for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs: tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack cancer) and huaier granule (a traditional Chinese medicine extract). It is for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had other systemic treatments before.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07422753RecruitingPhase 2
TACE with immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of TACE (a procedure that blocks blood supply to the tumor) plus three immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, ipilimumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than TACE alone.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07483359RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer with portal vein tumor thrombus
This trial tests a combination of liver-directed chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy to shrink advanced liver cancer that has a blood clot in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver). The goal is to make the tumor removable by surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07493668RecruitingPhase 2
Fostrox plus Lenvatinib for advanced liver cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding the drug Fostrox to the standard drug Lenvatinib works better than Lenvatinib alone for people with advanced liver cancer that has worsened after initial immunotherapy treatment. It is for those who cannot have surgery and have not had more than one prior cancer treatment.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07500220RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dual-target CAR-NK cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy made from natural killer (NK) cells that are engineered to attack two targets (GPC3 and B7-H3) found on liver cancer cells. It may be an option for people with advanced liver cancer who have already tried standard treatments.

HH-009 for Advanced Liver Cancer with FGF19 Marker
This trial tests a new drug called HH-009 for advanced or inoperable liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) that has a specific genetic marker called FGF19. The drug is designed to target this marker and may help slow or shrink the cancer in people whose disease has gotten worse despite previous treatment.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07560488RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy Combination for Advanced Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of four treatments (two immunotherapy drugs, a blood-vessel-blocking drug, and chemotherapy delivered directly to the liver) to shrink unresectable (inoperable) advanced liver cancer and potentially make it removable by surgery. The goal is to help patients who have never had cancer treatment before.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07610551Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial studies whether combining three treatments—an immunotherapy drug (Atezo), a blood-vessel-blocking drug (Bev), and a radioactive bead treatment (SIRT-Y90)—can help patients with advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if using all three together works better than using fewer treatments.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07639138RecruitingPhase 2
Lenalidomide with targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding lenalidomide (a drug that boosts the immune system) to your current targeted therapy and immunotherapy can help advanced liver cancer that has progressed after previous treatments. You would be eligible if your cancer has already been treated with at least two prior drug combinations and initially responded before growing back.
Beijing, No. 1 Shuaifuyuan, Dongcheng District, Beijing, ChinaAges 18–75 - NCT07658833Recruiting
Combined therapy for large liver cancer with vein clot
This trial combines a targeted drug and immunotherapy with procedures that deliver cancer-killing beads or chemotherapy directly to your liver tumor. It is designed for people with large, inoperable liver cancer that has spread into the main vein leading to the heart.
