Focused radiation plus targeted therapy for advanced liver cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of a focused radiation beam (SBRT) plus a pill that helps stop tumor blood vessel growth (lenvatinib) and a procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumor (TACE) for people with advanced liver cancer that has not yet spread outside the liver. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can improve outcomes without prior treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has not been treated before.
- The cancer must be in your liver with at least one measurable tumor, and if multiple, they must not take up more than half of your liver.
- You must have a tumor clot in the main vein that carries blood from the liver (portal vein).
- You must be generally healthy (able to do light activities) and have good liver function (scored as 'A').
- Your blood counts and kidney/liver tests must be within certain safe ranges.

This study tests whether a combination of the drug lenvatinib, a liver treatment called TACE, and the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab can shrink advanced hepatocellular carcinoma enough to make surgery (or “conversion resection”) possible. It may help some people live longer by improving the chance that the cancer can be removed.
This trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab and bevacizumab) plus a procedure called TACE (chemoembolization) against a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib) plus TACE for people with advanced liver cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
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 trial compares two treatments for liver cancer (HCC) that has stopped responding to TACE. One group gets lenvatinib (a targeted therapy pill) plus SIRT (internal radiation beads placed in the liver), and the other gets lenvatinib alone. The goal is to see which combination works better.
This trial tests a combination of radiation (SBRT), an immunotherapy drug (PD-L1 inhibitor), and a targeted therapy (lenvatinib) for people with liver cancer that has spread to abdominal lymph nodes. It may be an option if you haven't taken certain immunotherapies before or if your cancer progressed after them.
This trial tests two different ways to treat liver cancer that can't be removed with surgery. It compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (targeted high-dose radiation) with selective internal radiation therapy (tiny radioactive beads delivered through a blood vessel), both combined with immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer).
