Is NCT07628751 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jul 2026). This NA trial studies non-drug interventions for early hepatocellular carcinoma.

This Phase II Prospective, parallel and open-label randomised control trial will investigate whether a radiotherapy technique (called SABR) can treat early stage liver cancer more effectively than current treatments which use heating probes directly inserted into the tumour or chemotherapy or radioactive particles injected into the blood supply of the tumour. Investigators hypothesize SABR will result in higher rates of freedom from local progression (FFLP) at 2 years compared to percutaneous thermal ablation ± TACE or transarterial therapies (TACE/TARE).The study will also look at other important outcomes such as progression free survival, overall survival, side effects, quality of life and people's experiences of their treatment.
