Making large liver tumors removable with immunotherapy and focused radiation
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and high-precision radiation (SBRT) to shrink large or multiple liver tumors in people with hepatocellular carcinoma, with the goal of making them small enough for surgery. It's for people who cannot currently have their tumors removed but might become eligible after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) confirmed by standard imaging or biopsy.
- Your main tumor is between 5 and 25 cm, or you have up to 3 tumors, or the tumor involves a branch of the portal vein.
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- Your liver function is good enough (Child-Pugh class A to B7) and you have a good overall health status (ECOG 0 or 1).
- You have not had cancer in another part of your body, previous radiation to the liver, or tumors that have spread beyond the liver.

This Phase 1 trial tests how well a combination treatment works for liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or other local treatments. It combines two immune/targeted medicines with a focused type of radiation (SBRT) to control the tumors.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a combination of SBRT (focused radiation) plus tislelizumab and regorafenib can control unresectable or limited-spread liver cancer. It may help by attacking tumors in the liver and immune system to improve shrinkage and control of disease.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining targeted liver procedures (TACE) and high-dose radiation (SBRT) followed by two immunotherapy drugs can “downstage” hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), meaning make it smaller/less advanced. It may help some people become better candidates for future treatment by shrinking tumors.
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation (SBRT) and immunotherapy for people with small liver cancers that have come back or are still present after prior treatment. It aims to see if this approach can better control the cancer without using heavy chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether a targeted radiation therapy (SBRT) can help people with liver cancer whose disease has only a few new spots growing while on first-line immunotherapy. It aims to see if zapping those spots can control the cancer and delay the need for stronger treatments.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy (SBRT), an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab), and a targeted therapy drug (apatinib) to shrink liver cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to make the cancer small enough for surgery later.
