This study aimed to compare two standard treatments for people with large intermediate-stage liver cancer that cannot be surgically removed. One group would receive a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab), while the other would receive local treatm…

This study tested two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) in people with liver cancer who were waiting for a liver transplant. The goal was to see if the drugs could safely shrink tumors and control the disease without causing organ rejection. Only 8 people took par…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, donafenib and KN046, in people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that had not responded to standard treatments. The goal was to check safety and see if the drugs could shrink tumors. The trial was stopped early, and only 15 peopl…

This study tested whether adding an experimental drug (VIC-1911) to the standard drug lenvatinib could help people with liver cancer that no longer responds to lenvatinib alone. Only 5 people were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the combination…

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called nanrilkefusp alfa, which helps activate immune cells, both alone and combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab. It included 115 people with various advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The st…

This study aimed to see if adding electromagnetic fields to the drug regorafenib could help people with advanced liver cancer live longer without their cancer growing. It was designed for patients who had already tried other treatments. However, the study was stopped early after …

This phase 2 trial tested a combination of three drugs—nivolumab (an immunotherapy), tadalafil (commonly used for erectile dysfunction), and vancomycin (an antibiotic)—in adults with liver cancer or liver metastases from colorectal or pancreatic cancers that had not responded to …

This study tested a new drug called SAR444200, alone or with other cancer treatments, in 33 adults with advanced solid tumors that had spread and were not responding to standard therapy. The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose. The trial was terminated early, …

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called OC-001, given alone or with the immunotherapy avelumab, in 73 people with various advanced or metastatic cancers (like lung, breast, and bladder cancer). The main goals were to check safety and how the drug moves through t…

This study tested whether adding a stronger chemotherapy infusion (HAIC-TACE) to the targeted drug donafenib works better than standard treatment for people with intermediate-stage liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The trial was stopped early and only included 18 pa…

This study tested a new drug called SOT101 (nanrilkefusp alfa) combined with pembrolizumab in 166 people with advanced solid tumors like lung, colon, and ovarian cancer. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors. The trial was stopped early, so results are limited.

This early-stage study tested a new drug called HFB301001 in 31 adults with advanced solid tumors (like sarcoma, kidney cancer, or melanoma) that had not responded to prior treatments. The main goal was to check the drug's safety and find the best dose. The study was terminated, …

This study tested a new way to deliver an immune-boosting drug (SD-101) directly into the liver along with standard immunotherapy for people with advanced liver cancer. It included 23 adults whose cancer had not responded to prior treatment. The goal was to find a safe dose and s…

This phase 2 trial tested a drug called Taxoprexin (DHA-paclitaxel) in 13 people with advanced liver cancer that had not responded to prior treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors and how safe it was. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

This phase II trial tested whether adding either BMS-986253 or cabiralizumab to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab could shrink tumors better than nivolumab alone in people with advanced liver cancer. Only 13 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated. The goal was …

This early-stage trial tested a new type of immune cell therapy (ET140203 T cells) in 8 adults with advanced liver cancer that had not responded to other treatments. The therapy was designed to target a protein called AFP found on cancer cells. The study was terminated early, so …

This study looked at whether tiny bits of RNA in the blood can serve as markers for liver disease and liver cancer. Researchers collected blood samples from nearly 1,900 people with liver cancer, cirrhosis, or chronic liver disease. The goal was to see if these RNA markers could …

This study tested a new method to improve liver biopsies for people with suspected liver cancer. It combined a GPS-like tracking system with a special dye (ICG) that makes cancer cells glow. Seven adults participated, and the goal was to see if this combination could help doctors…

This study tested whether a digital health app (Roche DPM Module) helps cancer patients manage symptoms and reduce healthcare visits while on systemic treatment. About 49 participants used the app alongside standard care. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.

This study looked at whether two tiny molecules, called miR-221 and miR-222, can be found in the blood of people with liver cancer. Researchers wanted to see if these molecules could help diagnose the disease without needing a liver biopsy. The study was very small, with only 10 …

This study aimed to create a registry of tissue and blood samples from 1,000 patients undergoing surgery or biopsy for liver or bile duct tumors. The samples were stored for future research to better understand these cancers and develop new treatments. The study was terminated ea…

This study aimed to see if certain immune cells in the blood could predict which patients with advanced liver cancer would benefit from a combination of immunotherapy drugs (Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab). Researchers planned to measure these cells before and after starting treatm…

This study tested a special type of scan (SPECT/CT) to see how well it measures liver function in people with liver cancer who are getting radiation or surgery. The goal was to learn if this scan can help doctors see which parts of the liver are working well before, during, and a…

This pilot study tested a device called BioTraceIO 360, designed to help doctors plan and monitor procedures that destroy liver tumors using heat. The study planned to enroll 30 people with liver cancer, but only 4 participated before it was stopped early. Researchers looked at w…
