Carbon ion radiotherapy for liver cancer after TARE
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (carbon ion radiotherapy) for people with liver cancer that has not been fully controlled after prior TARE treatment. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for treating the remaining or returning cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You have liver cancer that was previously treated with TARE (a type of targeted radiation) and still has remaining or growing cancer
- Your liver function is fairly good (Child-Pugh class A or mild B)
- You have not had external radiation to the liver before
- You are not pregnant and are willing to use contraception if applicable
- You have no other serious health conditions that could affect survival

This trial tests a combination of carbon ion radiation therapy with two drugs, atezolizumab and bevacizumab, for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial is for people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who are about to receive a type of internal radiation therapy called TARE (also known as radioembolization). Researchers want to learn more about how the cancer responds to this treatment using scans and biopsies. You might be a good fit if you have not had any prior treatment for your liver cancer.
This trial tests a treatment called yttrium-90 carbon microsphere radioembolization for people with liver cancer that has been previously treated. Tiny radioactive beads are delivered directly to the tumor through the blood vessels to destroy cancer cells from inside. This may be an option if your liver cancer has not spread beyond the liver and you can tolerate the procedure.
This study tests proton beam radiation for people with liver cancer that is still inside the liver but cannot be treated with surgery or a small-needle procedure. Proton beams aim to better target the tumor while reducing radiation to nearby organs.
This trial compares two treatments for liver cancer that can’t be removed with surgery: chemo through the liver (TACE) alone versus TACE plus a precise radiation treatment (SBRT). It may help people whose cancer stays in the liver but can’t be operated on, by testing whether adding focused radiation improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and targeted radiation for advanced liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer.
