Recruiting studies
- NCT03812874RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug after chemo-embolization for liver cancer that can’t be removed
This Phase 1/2 study tests PTX-9908 (a study drug) to see if it’s safe and effective when given after TACE, a liver-directed treatment. It may help people with liver cancer that can’t be surgically removed and who have recovered enough from their recent TACE.
New Taipei City, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT03949231RecruitingPhase 3
Infusion immunotherapy through the liver artery for liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of immune “brakes” medicines (PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4) delivered through the liver’s artery, to help treat advanced liver cancer. It may help the immune system attack the cancer more effectively, especially if other local liver treatments aren’t possible or have stopped working.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04745390Recruiting
Testing a tailored radiation dose plan for liver tumors
This study compares a standard radiation dose plan versus a plan that adjusts the dose based on how the tumor responds to radiation-related measurements. It aims to improve how well stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treats liver cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04777942Recruiting
New liver cancer treatment plan for high-risk early-stage patients
This trial studies a treatment approach (a combination given through the liver) for people with early liver cancer that can be surgically removed but has a high chance of coming back. It may help reduce the risk of recurrence after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04864054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study T-cell therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment made to target a marker (GPC3) found on some liver cancers. It’s for adults with advanced HCC whose cancer has worsened after standard treatment or who couldn’t tolerate it.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04988945RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with liver tumor radiation to shrink hard-to-remove liver cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining targeted liver procedures (TACE) and high-dose radiation (SBRT) followed by two immunotherapy drugs can “downstage” hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), meaning make it smaller/less advanced. It may help some people become better candidates for future treatment by shrinking tumors.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05323201RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
B7H3 CAR-T therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests an immune therapy made from your own blood cells (CAR-T) to treat advanced, unresectable liver cancer. It’s designed for people whose tumor has a specific marker called B7H3 and who meet blood, organ, and safety requirements.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05652920RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for liver cancer that has GPC3
This early-phase study tests modified immune T cells (CAR T cells) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer, when the tumor shows a marker called GPC3. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth, especially after other treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05718492Recruiting
Tested HAIC for liver cancer after prior immunotherapy
This trial studies HAIC, a type of targeted treatment delivered into the liver, for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has already been treated with immune and anti-blood-vessel therapies. It aims to see whether HAIC can help control the cancer safely after those earlier treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05794048Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor features in liver and pancreatic cancers
This trial looks at a patient’s “metabolic profile” (how the body’s chemicals are used) in people with certain liver and pancreatic tumors. It may help doctors better understand these cancers and improve how they are evaluated for treatment.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06007846RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Memantine for advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis
This trial tests if memantine, a medication typically used for memory problems, can help people with advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis. It is for those who cannot have standard aggressive treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06294548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Valemetostat plus atezolizumab and bevacizumab for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—valemetostat, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab—for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who have not had systemic treatment before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397222RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments: an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab), a targeted therapy (Bevacizumab), and a type of internal radiation (SIRT) for people with intermediate or advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06418659RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD-801 for advanced liver cancer
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called CD-801 given through an IV for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that cannot be surgically removed and has not responded to or is not suitable for standard treatments. The goal is to see if CD-801 is safe and helps shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06478693RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MT-303 for advanced liver cancer
This study tests a new drug called MT-303 for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) or other cancers that produce a protein called GPC3. The drug is designed to target and attack the cancer cells. The trial is in an early phase, so it is looking at safety and how well the drug works.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06553885RecruitingPhase 2
Study of enfortumab vedotin for advanced colorectal or liver cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people whose colorectal or liver cancer has spread or cannot be removed and has stopped responding to or is intolerant to standard treatments. The drug is given through a vein and works by targeting cancer cells.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06602011Recruiting
Triple therapy for advanced liver cancer with bile duct invasion
This study tests a combination of three treatments—TACE (a procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumor), lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill), and tislelizumab (an immunotherapy)—for people with liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts and can't be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy helps shrink or control the cancer.

Radiation therapy for liver cancer that exceeds up-to-7 criteria
This trial tests a targeted internal radiation treatment for people with liver cancer (HCC) that is too widespread for surgery and goes beyond the up-to-7 criteria. It aims to see if this therapy can safely and effectively treat tumors that are all located in a specific area of the liver.
Ilsan, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06795022RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing AZD9793 for advanced solid tumors with GPC3

New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07001085Recruiting
Blood test to monitor liver cancer after surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to monitor tiny pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver or with liver cancer (HCC), before and after liver surgery or transplant. It aims to help doctors detect cancer return earlier and guide treatment.

- 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.
