Information is also accessible through the patient and families tab. Family friendly summaries are created and reviewed by our advocacy partners. The information is updated to the best of our knowledge but might not reflect the latest information. Note that most studies are only available at a limited number of sites, please click on ‘further information’ for details. Studies, particularly early phase trials, may also temporarily close to enrolment or not have slots available for all treatment groups. In all cases, study teams at individual C17 centres will have the most up-to-date information.

Study Description

This trial studies how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.


Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must be newly diagnosed with hepatic malignancies (liver cancers) such as hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Patients must be under 30 years of age 
  • All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
