Blood markers for TACE-treated liver cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is looking for blood markers that may help doctors learn how well TACE treatment is working for liver cancer. You need to be scheduled for TACE and have a follow-up scan to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) based on imaging or biopsy
- Your doctor has planned to treat the cancer with TACE (a procedure that blocks blood flow to the tumor)
- Your liver is working well enough (Child-Pugh score 7 or less)
- You are fully active and able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0)
- You are willing to have at least one follow-up scan (CT or MRI) 4 to 8 weeks after TACE

This study looks at special blood markers in people with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) who are about to have a procedure called TACE. The goal is to see if these markers can help predict how well the treatment works. You may be able to join if you are getting TACE as part of your standard care.
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 tests whether adding nitroglycerin (a blood vessel-opening medication) during a standard liver cancer treatment called TACE can improve blood flow to the tumor and help imaging see changes better. It is for people with a single, untreated liver tumor who are generally in good health.
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 study uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see how well liver cancer has responded to a previous TACE treatment. If you've already had TACE for your liver cancer, this scan may help your doctors decide on the next steps, such as surgery or another procedure.
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.
