CARCINOMA, HEPATOCELLULAR

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (Donafenib) and chemotherapy directly into the liver's blood supply can prevent liver cancer from returning after surgery. It includes adults with a single large tumor (≥5 cm) and microscopic blood vessel invasion, who are at high r…

This study tested whether a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) can prevent liver cancer from returning in people who had surgery or ablation to remove their tumor. About 668 participants at high risk of recurrence were randomly assigned to receive the drug co…

This phase 2 trial tested a modified virus called JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) in 30 people with liver cancer that could not be surgically removed. The virus was injected directly into the liver tumors to see if it could stop the cancer from growing. Researchers measured how many patients h…

This study tested whether adding two drugs (lenvatinib and pembrolizumab) to a standard liver cancer treatment called TACE helps people with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 479 participants received either the drug combo plus TACE or TACE alone. The goal was…

This phase 3 trial tested whether a single injection of radioactive lipiodol (Lipiocis) into the liver artery could prevent hepatocellular carcinoma from coming back after surgery or ablation. The study enrolled 73 adults with cirrhosis and one or two liver tumors that had been s…

This study tested whether adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) to lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) works better than lenvatinib alone for people with advanced liver cancer. About 794 adults took part. The combination did not significantly improve how long patients lived or dela…

This study tested whether adding a third drug (relatlimab) to a two-drug combination (nivolumab and bevacizumab) is safe and works better for people with advanced liver cancer who haven't had treatment before. The 83 participants received either the three-drug combo or the two-dr…

This study tested giving immunotherapy drugs before surgery to people with liver cancer that could be removed. The goal was to see if these drug combinations could shrink the tumor or eliminate it before the operation. 62 participants took part in this early-phase trial, which ha…

This study tested a new drug called E7386 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in 89 people with advanced melanoma, colorectal cancer, or liver cancer. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and can shrink tumors. Some participants with liver cancer al…

This phase 3 trial tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to best supportive care helps Asian patients with advanced liver cancer live longer. 453 patients who had already received one prior treatment were randomly assigned to get either pembrolizum…

This completed Phase 3 trial tested a combination of two drugs, atezolizumab and bevacizumab, in 152 people with advanced liver cancer that could not be surgically removed and had not been treated before. The goal was to check safety and how well the treatment works. The study wa…

This study tested 892 African and Asian immigrants for hepatitis B and C to understand how these infections raise the risk of liver cancer. Researchers also checked vaccination rates and tracked new cancer cases over time. No treatment was given; the goal was to gather informatio…

This completed study tested whether a new biomarker called 'mass response' can predict how well a cancer therapy will work. Researchers collected tumor cells from 72 patients with various cancers through fluid drainage or biopsies. The goal was to see if this biomarker could guid…
