Triple therapy for advanced liver cancer (HAIC + sintilimab + donafenib)
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: a targeted oral drug (Donafenib), an immunotherapy (Sintilimab), and a type of chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery. The goal is to see if this triple therapy works better than current options for people who have not had any prior cancer treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05515315RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to chemotherapy before a combined course of chemotherapy and radiation can better treat locally advanced, non-surgable esophageal squamous cell cancer.

Macon, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970666RecruitingPhase 2
TACE plus immunotherapy and VEGF drug for unresectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether combining TACE (a liver-targeted chemo procedure) with two medicines—an immune “checkpoint” drug and a blood-vessel blocking drug—can control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. It’s designed for people who can’t have surgery or curative ablation, and who still have reasonably strong liver and overall health.

GM103 injection for advanced solid tumors that can't be removed
This trial tests an experimental drug called GM103 that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments and cannot be surgically removed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 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 - NCT06406634RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab, Lenvatinib, and HAIC for Unresectable Liver Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and a direct chemotherapy infusion into the liver (HAIC). The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT06410651RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests adding the targeted drug nimotuzumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink the tumor or stop it from growing further.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07841574RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for bile duct cancer in the liver
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a bile duct cancer in the liver) that cannot be surgically removed. It combines chemo directly into the liver with two drugs that boost the immune system and block blood vessel growth, hoping to shrink the tumor and help you live longer.

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.
