Liver Cancer Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are studies conducted on volunteers using investigational treatments or methods. The decision to enroll in a trial should be based on concrete information and eligibility depends on many factors.

For more information about HCC clinical trials in your area, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.

  • Discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and side effects of treatment options with your doctor.

  • Ask your doctor about the possibility of using experimental therapies and eligibility to participate in clinical trials. If you want to participate in a clinical trial, ask what is the phase of the trial.

  • Consider seeking a second opinion if your health insurance allows you the option to do so.

A First-in-Human Study to Learn About how BAY3630942 is Distributed and Processed Inside the Body When Given After BAY3547922 and how Safe it is in People With Liver Cancer*

The results from this study are needed for the development of a new therapy using the same GPC3 targeting antibody. The future intent is to use the antibody attached to a radioactive atom that can kill specific cancer cells.

Official Title: An Open-label Phase 1 Imaging Study to Evaluate the Biodistribution, Dosimetry, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of BAY 3630942, a 89Zr-labeled Monoclonal Antibody, With a Pre-infusion of BAY 3547922, a Monoclonal Antibody-chelator Conjugate, in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Condition: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer)
Intervention/Treatment: In this study we will give participants an antibody that finds and attaches to GPC3, which is a protein frequently located at the surface of liver cancer cells. To make the antibody visible it is attached to zirconium-89 (89Zr) which is a radioactive atom. We call the antibody attached to 89Zr the imaging agent. Similar imaging agents with radioactive atoms are routinely used in routine medical practice in nuclear medicine to diagnose various conditions, most often cancer. The amount of radioactivity used with this approach and in this study is very small, and it allows us to see where the antibody localizes in the body. A special camera is used to take pictures (a scan) to see where in the body the antibody is located, how quickly it leaves the body and how long it stays in the blood. Participants will receive one infusion of the imaging agent, and then undergo 3 PET-scans over the course of 12 days, all on an outpatient basis. Different participants will receive different doses of the antibody, and with this we will learn the optimal dose of antibody that allows for highest uptake in the tumors. This information will be used to decide on the dose of the antibody attached to a different radioactive atom designed to kill cancer cells in a subsequent study in a safe and effective manner.
Phase: Phase 1
Study Type: Open-Label Imaging Study
Study Design: Participants must have had a diagnosis of HCC, should not be on any ongoing cancer therapy, and must meet a number of other criteria to ensure that they can safely participate and that their participation helps the study meet its objectives .• Screening Period – up to 14 days prior to the Imaging Intervention Period • Imaging Intervention Period – 12 days o Participants will visit the hospital or clinic approximately 5 times: Days 1, 2, 5, 8, and 12. o Administration of antibody and imaging agent on Day 1 o PET/CT scans lasting about 40-60 mins will be performed on Day 2, Day 5, and Day 8. o In addition, safety assessments and biomarker & PK sampling are performed. • Active Follow-Up – 18 days Patients will not get any therapeutic benefit from participating in this study. The information collected in this study will however help the study sponsor to develop potential new treatments for HCC. This may help other patients with this type of cancer in the future. Bayer Study 22261 provides payment to support study participation. We do this because we recognize and appreciate the time spent, potential inconvenience, and discomfort.

Atezolizumab in Combination With a Multi-Kinase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Unresectable, Locally Advanced, or Metastatic Liver Cancer*

This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab in combination with a multi-kinase inhibitor (cabozantinib or lenvatinib) compared to multi-kinase inhibitor alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib and lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with cabozantinib or lenvatinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with liver cancer.

Official Title: A Phase II Randomized Study of Atezolizumab Plus Multi-Kinase Inhibitor Versus Multi-Kinase Inhibitor Alone in Subjects With Unresectable, Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Previously Received Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab
Condition: Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Intervention/Treatment: Atezolizumab, Cabozantinib or Lenvatinib
Phase: Phase 2
Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
Study Design: 122 participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 1 and cabozantinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) or lenvatinib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients receive cabozantinib PO QD or lenvatinib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Immunotherapy-Based Treatment Combinations in Patients With Advanced Liver Cancers (Morpheus-Liver)*

This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, randomized umbrella study in participants with advanced liver cancers. The study is designed with the flexibility to open new treatment arms as new treatments become available, close existing treatment arms that demonstrate minimal clinical activity or unacceptable toxicity, modify the participant population, or introduce additional cohorts of participants with other types of advanced primary liver cancer.

Cohort 1 will enroll participants with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for their disease. Eligible participants will initially be randomly assigned to one of several treatment arms (Stage 1). Participants who experience loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity during Stage 1 may be eligible to receive treatment with a different treatment combination (Stage 2). When a Stage 2 treatment combination is available, this will be introduced by amending the protocol.

Modified Immune Cells (Autologous Dendritic Cells) and a Vaccine (Prevnar)

This early phase I trial studies the side effects of autologous dendritic cells and a vaccine called Prevnar in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery after undergoing standard high-dose external beam radiotherapy. Autologous dendritic cells are immune cells generated from patients' own white blood cells that are grown in a special lab and trained to stimulate the immune system to destroy tumor cells. A pneumonia vaccine called Prevnar may also help stimulate the immune system. Giving autologous dendritic cells and Prevnar to patients with live cancer after radiotherapy may help doctors determine if it is possible to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight against the tumor, and to see if this immune stimulation can be done safely.

Condition: Hepatocellular carcinoma
Intervention: Combination of external beam radiation therapy, pneumonia (Prevnar) vaccine and autologous dendritic cells
Phase: Phase 1
Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
Study Design: Single arm, open label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
