BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05528952RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for unresectable liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding a cancer vaccine (to help the immune system recognize your tumor) to two medicines—atezolizumab and bevacizumab—can better control unresectable or advanced liver cancer. It’s for people who haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) cancer treatment.

Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers, combined with the drug pembrolizumab, to help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05257590RecruitingPhase 2
CVM-1118 plus nivolumab for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether CVM-1118 given with nivolumab can help people with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) that can’t be cured with surgery. It’s for patients whose cancer has worsened after earlier cancer medicines or treatments.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05168163RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether atezolizumab combined with a multi-targeted (“multi-kinase”) inhibitor can treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or local procedures. It focuses on people whose cancer has already grown despite a first-line treatment using atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05185505Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Immunotherapy before liver transplant for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two immunotherapy drugs before a liver transplant can help people with advanced liver cancer (beyond standard size limits) receive a transplant successfully. The treatment aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05096715RecruitingPhase 1
Testing atezolizumab plus bevacizumab with SBRT for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well a combination treatment works for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or other local treatments. It combines two immune/targeted medicines with a focused type of radiation (SBRT) to control the tumors.
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.

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.

Clichy, CedexAges 18 years+ - NCT07410715Recruiting
Surgery or observation after successful liver cancer treatment
This study compares surgery versus watch-and-wait for people whose liver cancer shrank significantly after treatment. It aims to find out if surgery is always needed or if watching closely is just as good.
ChengduAges 18–80 - NCT05057845RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing treatment plus immunotherapy and a pill for liver cancer
This trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) combined with tislelizumab and lenvatinib can help shrink advanced liver cancer and improve outcomes after earlier treatments stopped working or caused side effects. It may be an option if your cancer can’t be removed with surgery and you’ve already tried one prior systemic (whole-body) treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 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.
