Three treatments for large liver cancer with portal vein spread
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests adding a second liver-directed treatment (hepatic artery infusion) to the usual combination of targeted therapy (lenvatinib) and chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for people with large liver cancer that has spread into the portal vein, to see if the triple therapy works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
- Your largest liver tumor is bigger than 7 centimeters (about 2.8 inches).
- A scan shows the cancer has spread into the main blood vessel of the liver (portal vein).
- You are well enough to walk around and take care of yourself (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- Your liver and kidney function are good enough for the study treatments.

This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and sintilimab) plus a liver-directed treatment (DEB-TACE) with or without another liver treatment (HAIC) for people with large liver cancer (over 7 cm) that has spread into the main blood vessel of the liver. The goal is to see if adding HAIC helps shrink the cancer more effectively.
This trial tests whether a combination of two treatments—chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) plus chemotherapy given through the liver artery (RALOX-HAIC)—works better than chemoembolization alone for people with large liver cancer tumors (over 7 cm). The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors more effectively.
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 combined treatment plan—chemo delivered to the liver, targeted therapy, anti-VEGF therapy, and immunotherapy—to control unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It may help shrink tumors or slow progression when surgery isn’t possible.
This trial combines a targeted drug and immunotherapy with procedures that deliver cancer-killing beads or chemotherapy directly to your liver tumor. It is designed for people with large, inoperable liver cancer that has spread into the main vein leading to the heart.
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.
