Recruiting studies
- 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.

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 - NCT06797297RecruitingPhase 2
Study of IBI363 vs pembrolizumab for advanced mucosal or acral melanoma
This trial tests a new drug, IBI363, compared to the standard drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced mucosal or acral melanoma who have not had treatment before. It aims to see if IBI363 works better or as well as the usual treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 461 recruiting unresectable 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 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 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.
