- NCT06746194Recruiting
PET scan to check treatment response in advanced liver cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well systemic therapy is working in people with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to find a better way to measure treatment effectiveness.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - 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.

Combination therapy for first-line liver cancer treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination (rilvegostomig plus bevacizumab, with or without tremelimumab) as a first treatment for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with local therapies. It aims to see if these combinations help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.

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 - NCT07317414RecruitingPhase 2

This trial tests whether beta-alanine, a natural supplement, can help people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the treatment can slow tumor growth and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07679061Recruiting
Nivolumab plus ipilimumab for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, as a first treatment for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has come back after local treatments.
Minato-ku, TokyoAges 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+ - NCT07547553RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 157 recruiting unresectable 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 unresectable 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 unresectable 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.
