TACE with or without a drug that blocks ABCB1 for liver cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding an ABCB1 inhibitor to a standard liver cancer treatment called TACE (blocking blood supply and delivering chemo directly into the tumor) works better than TACE alone. You may join if you have a liver tumor that hasn't been treated before and your liver is working well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have liver cancer confirmed by biopsy or special imaging (CT or MRI).
- At least one tumor has not been treated before and is between 3 and 8 cm in size.
- Your liver is working well—no jaundice (yellow skin/eyes), no fluid buildup in the belly (ascites), and no confusion or sleepiness from liver problems.
- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent.
- If you could become pregnant, you agree to avoid pregnancy for at least 3 months after treatment.
- You have not had prior systemic therapy for advanced liver cancer.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of TACE (a procedure that blocks blood supply to the tumor) plus three immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, ipilimumab) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than TACE alone.
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 study tests combining TACE (a procedure to block the tumor's blood supply) with immunotherapy drugs for liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for their liver cancer and are healthy enough for TACE.
This trial compares two types of tiny beads used in a liver cancer treatment called TACE to see which works better. If you have liver cancer that needs TACE and your liver is still working fairly well, you may be able to join.
This trial is for people with advanced liver cancer (HCC) that has spread outside the liver. It tests whether combining a TACE procedure with immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis drugs can improve outcomes. You must not have had prior systemic therapy and must have received TACE in a specific time window around starting these drugs.
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.
