Acute endurance exercise and liver cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a short session of endurance exercise (like brisk walking) can change certain proteins in your blood that may help control liver cancer. It is for people with liver cancer and cirrhosis who are already planning to receive immunotherapy or chemoembolization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have liver cancer that started in a liver that is already scarred (cirrhosis).
- Your liver cancer must be planned for treatment with immunotherapy or chemoembolization.
- Your liver function must be good enough (Child-Pugh class A or B7).
- You must be able to be up and about for most of the day (WHO score 2 or better).
- You must not have had a major liver surgery within 30 days, a liver transplant, or a serious muscle injury in the past 3 months.

This trial tests whether adding a supervised physical exercise program to your usual chemotherapy and immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery can change the immune environment inside the tumor. The goal is to see if exercise can make the treatment more effective.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with cirrhosis (scarred liver) feel stronger and improve their health. You'll be asked to exercise regularly and have tests to see how your muscles and liver respond.
This trial studies whether a “prehab” program—structured exercise and preparation—can help people keep up function while they are on chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you can safely exercise, the program may help you tolerate treatment and stay active.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program before surgery helps improve recovery after converting unresectable liver cancer to a resectable state. If you are scheduled for conversion therapy, this program may strengthen your body for a smoother postoperative recovery.
This trial tests whether different exercise programs can improve health in people with liver cirrhosis. It uses home-based workouts via a device, which may help you stay active and feel better.
This trial tests whether changing the bacteria in your gut (with a probiotic) can help your current immunotherapy work better if your liver cancer has been growing. It's for people with advanced liver cancer who will continue their same immunotherapy despite the cancer progressing.
