Study of the causes of childhood liver tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at why childhood liver tumors happen by using samples and information from children who have had a liver tumor and from their close family members. It may help researchers understand the biology of these tumors and guide better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a liver tumor (cancer or non-cancer) when they were under 21
- That liver tumor treatment happened in the past or is happening now
- You are a biological parent (mom or dad) of the child
- Or you are a biological sibling (brother or sister) of the child
- If you are not biologically related (like a guardian or adoptive/non-biological family), you likely cannot join

This study looks at people with rare types of liver cancer to learn more about the disease. If you have one of these rare liver cancers, your information could help doctors understand these cancers better.
This Phase 3 study tests a modified treatment plan for children newly diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a type of liver cancer. It may help improve how well treatment works and how safely it can be given by using a structured approach.
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
This study maps how biliary atresia (a childhood blockage/problem with bile flow from the liver) progresses and changes in the body around the time of a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future care.
This study looks at leftover tissue samples from children who have had tumors or birth conditions. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions develop, and you may help if you or a relative fits the criteria.
This study collects and studies tissue or bone marrow samples from certain childhood tumors. The goal is to learn what’s going on inside the cancer (using molecular testing) to better understand the disease and how it may respond to treatment.
