Combination therapy for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery
This study tests a combination of three treatments (HAIC, lenvatinib, and cadonilimab) as a way to shrink liver tumors that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to make the tumors smaller so they might be removed later, and to see how safe and effective this combination is.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06192797RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for unresectable bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion (HAIC), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy (pucotenlimab)—to try to shrink bile duct cancers that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to make the cancer surgically removable or to control it for as long as possible.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 464 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.
