TACE before surgery for large liver cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial combines a procedure called TACE (which blocks the blood supply to the tumor) with surgery to remove a large liver tumor. It is for people newly diagnosed with a large liver cancer that hasn't spread and can be completely removed with surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- Your liver tumor is larger than 10 cm (about 4 inches).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- The cancer has not spread into major blood vessels or to other parts of the body.
- Your liver is healthy enough for surgery to remove all of the tumor, and you have enough healthy liver left after surgery.
- You have not had liver cancer before (this is your first time).

This trial compares two treatments for people with large liver tumors. One is a liver artery chemotherapy infusion and the other is a chemo-embolization procedure. The study will see which approach works better.
This study looks at whether combining a liver-directed procedure called TACE with tiragolumab and targeted therapy works better for people with unresectable liver cancer that has not spread too far. Researchers will use blood and tissue tests to see how well the treatment works.
This trial tests whether a liver-directed treatment called TACE (transarterial chemoembolization) after surgery can help prevent liver cancer from coming back in people with high-risk features.
This trial tests a combination of treatments for liver cancer that can be surgically removed. It adds immunotherapy drugs (Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab, together called QL1706) and targeted therapy (Lenvatinib) to a procedure called TACE (chemoembolization) to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and lowers the chance of recurrence after surgery.
This trial tests a combination of liver-directed therapy (TACE) with two drugs—bevacizumab (Avastin) and atezolizumab (Tecentriq)—as a first treatment for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and control the disease longer.
This trial tests whether taking lenvatinib (a targeted pill) before a liver procedure called TACE can help people with large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) get better results while waiting for a liver transplant. It may help shrink or control the cancer without stopping transplant plans.
