Surgery plus targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced liver cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
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 (like chemotherapy or surgery) for your liver cancer.
- You have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer).
- The main tumor is in the liver and can be fully removed with surgery, and any small spread (in the liver or to one other organ) is limited.
- Your liver function is good (Child-Pugh class A) and you are in generally good health (ECOG score 0-1).
- If you have hepatitis B, your virus level is controlled with antiviral medicine.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether adding a targeted procedure (ablation) to burn away cancer spots, when combined with lenvatinib and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), can help control liver cancer that has spread to a few places. It's for people whose liver tumors are already responding to treatment.
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.
This trial tests whether removing the spleen (splenectomy) can improve the effectiveness of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) who also have enlarged spleens due to portal hypertension. It aims to see if this combination can help control the cancer better.
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.
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.
