Surgery plus two drugs for advanced liver cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial combines surgery to remove liver tumors with two drugs, camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and apatinib (a targeted therapy that may cut off the tumor's blood supply). It aims to see if this combination helps people with advanced liver cancer that has spread outside the liver (but not to the brain) and who have chosen not to have other standard treatments like TACE or radiation. Participating could potentially control the spreading cancer and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.
- Have liver cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (like lymph nodes, lungs, or bones), but not to the brain.
- Your liver tumors can be removed by surgery (considered curable by surgery).
- Have good liver function (Child-Pugh A) and acceptable blood test results.
- Feel generally well (ECOG score 0 or 1) and be expected to live at least 6 months.
- Not be willing or eligible to receive TACE (a treatment that blocks blood flow to the tumor) or radiation therapy.

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and toripalimab, a type of immunotherapy) plus a special chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery for people with advanced liver cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy helps shrink tumors better than the standard combination.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether combining camrelizumab and apatinib with TACE before/around liver cancer surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help by strengthening the immune attack on cancer and by blocking blood supply to tumors.
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. One treatment delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumor, and the other uses tiny beads to block the tumor's blood supply. This approach may help shrink tumors and slow the cancer's growth.
This trial tests if giving a combination of drugs (apatinib and camrelizumab) along with a procedure called TACE before surgery can help treat a certain type of liver cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before the operation to improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, an immunotherapy drug called camrelizumab, and a targeted therapy pill called apatinib for people with advanced liver cancer that has spread to the main blood vessel of the liver. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests if removing the main liver tumor with surgery, followed by targeted therapy and immunotherapy, can help people with advanced liver cancer that has spread a little. It is for those who have not had prior treatment and whose liver is still working well.
