Triple drug treatment for advanced liver cancer that can’t be removed
This Phase 2 trial tests three medicines together (durvalumab, tremelimumab, and bevacizumab) to treat non-surgical (non-resectable) liver cancer. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression by boosting the immune system and blocking tumor blood supply.
MunichAges 18 years+ - NCT05953961Recruiting
90Y radiation compared with microwave ablation for small liver cancer
This trial compares two procedures to treat a small, single liver tumor that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see which treatment works better for people with low blood protein (albumin), which can affect healing and outcomes.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06478927Recruiting
Palbociclib for advanced liver cancer after other treatments
This trial tests a drug called palbociclib for people with advanced liver cancer who have already tried at least two other treatments. The goal is to see if palbociclib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05223816RecruitingPhase 2
Tested drug shots for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a drug called VG161 given by injection into liver tumors, either alone or together with nivolumab. It aims to see how well it works and whether it is safe for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06215651RecruitingPhase 2
Testing cadonilimab and lenvatinib before liver cancer surgery
This study tests whether a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and lenvatinib) can shrink liver cancer enough to make it removable by surgery for people whose cancer was previously too advanced for surgery. You may qualify if your cancer hasn't spread far, you haven't had treatment before, and your liver is still working fairly well.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06593964Recruiting
TACE with a special gel vs standard beads for liver cancer
This trial compares a new gel-like treatment to standard beads for blocking the blood supply to liver tumors during TACE. It may be an option for patients with certain stages of liver cancer who cannot have surgery or other standard treatments.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT05992584RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, sintilimab, and SIRT for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and sintilimab) plus a procedure called SIRT (radioactive beads) for people with liver cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this triple approach works better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06726161RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new way to find and treat liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. First, a special dye (RYZ811) is used to see if your cancer cells have a marker called GPC3. If they do, you may receive a targeted radiation treatment (RYZ801) that seeks out those cells. This trial is for people whose liver cancer has grown despite receiving at least one prior therapy.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06828380RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with or without radiation for liver cancer
This trial tests whether using immunotherapy alone works as well as immunotherapy combined with radiation for liver cancer that has spread into major blood vessels. The goal is to find the best treatment option for people with this specific type of advanced liver cancer.
GoyangAges 19 years+ - NCT06796114Recruiting
Biomarkers in advanced liver cancer treated with tremelimumab/durvalumab
This study is looking for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who have not yet had systemic treatment. Participants will receive a combination of two immunotherapy drugs: tremelimumab and durvalumab (the STRIDE regimen). The goal is to find biomarkers that can predict how well the cancer responds to this 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.
