Comparing triple vs. dual therapy after liver surgery for liver cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a third drug to standard two-drug therapy after liver surgery helps prevent liver cancer from returning. It is for people who have a specific blood vessel pattern in their tumor, called VETC, seen on a special stain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have not had any previous treatment (local or by mouth) for liver cancer.
- Your liver function is good (Child-Pugh score of 7 or less).
- You are fully active or able to do light work (ECOG score 0-1).
- You have no serious heart, lung, brain, or kidney disease.
- Your tumor type is hepatocellular carcinoma and shows a VETC blood vessel pattern on a special stain.

This trial tests a tailored treatment plan after surgery for liver cancer that shows a specific blood vessel pattern (VETC). The goal is to find the best follow-up therapy to lower the chance of cancer coming back.
This trial tests a new precision approach for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It uses a computer model to analyze your tumor and genetic information to see if combining HAIC (chemotherapy directly into the liver), lenvatinib (a targeted drug), and a PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy) is the right treatment for you.
This trial tests a treatment given before surgery to shrink liver cancer and improve outcomes. It combines a liver-directed therapy (HAIC) with two oral drugs (lenvatinib and a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that can be removed surgically.
This trial compares two ways to deliver chemotherapy into the liver—TACE (a targeted injection that blocks blood flow) and HAIC (a continuous infusion through a small tube)—along with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) and a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib). It's for people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
This study tests a treatment given before surgery for liver cancer that is at high risk of coming back. You would receive a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery (HAIC), a targeted pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) — if a computer model predicts you might benefit.
This trial tests if combining three therapies (sintilimab, lenvatinib, and HAIC) before surgery can help shrink liver tumors that are on the borderline of being removable. It's for people whose cancer has spread into nearby blood vessels but not to other organs.
