Report Overview

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and remains a major global health burden. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 35 million new cancer cases are projected by 2050, marking a 77% rise from 20 million cases in 2022. This escalating prevalence is driving advancements in HCC therapies, including targeted treatments, immunotherapies, and combination regimens. Growing focus on precision medicine, biomarker-based therapies, and improved diagnostic strategies is strengthening development. According to the hepatocellular carcinoma pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research, sustained R&D and clinical progress will support strong pipeline growth in the coming years.

  • Major companies involved in the hepatocellular carcinoma pipeline analysis include Akeso, Shanghai Henlius Biotech, and others.

  • Leading drugs currently in the pipeline include HLX13, HLX53, MT-303, and others.

  • Strong pipeline expansion is driven by rising clinical trial activity, rapid adoption of immunotherapies, and growing investment in targeted therapies, accelerating development progress and boosting treatment innovation in the coming years.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Pipeline Outlook

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver cancer that develops due to chronic liver damage. It arises when long-term inflammation, cirrhosis, or viral hepatitis causes abnormal cellular changes, resulting in the uncontrolled growth of malignant liver cells. Over time, these changes drive progressive tumor formation, making early detection and timely intervention essential for improving patient outcomes and preventing advanced disease progression.

Hepatocellular carcinoma treatments include immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and locoregional interventions designed to control tumor growth, improve survival, and support patients with advanced or unresectable disease. Hepatocellular carcinoma treatments include immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and locoregional procedures designed to slow tumor progression, improve survival, and manage advanced or unresectable disease. Treatment strategies continue to evolve with new clinical evidence and regulatory advancements. In April 2025, the Food and Drug Administration significantly expanded therapeutic options by approving nivolumab with ipilimumab for first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. This approval, based on positive overall survival and response outcomes from the CHECKMATE-9DW trial, strengthened the drug pipeline and highlighted the growing role of combination immunotherapies in improving patient care.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Epidemiology

Hepatocellular carcinoma remains a major global concern, driven by rising incidence and significant mortality. According to A. Vogel et al., 2025, it accounts for over 900,000 new cases and nearly 80% of the global liver cancer burden. As per the World Health Organization, cancer cases are projected to increase by 77% by 2050, intensifying pressure on healthcare systems. According to Hepatocellular Carcinoma Epidemiology by Expert Market Research, hepatocellular carcinoma represents up to 85% of primary liver cancers, with India reporting an incidence of 2.15 per 100,000. These trends underscore the urgent need for innovative drug pipeline development.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Phases

The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early-phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to EMR analysis, phase II, with 53%, covers a major share of the total hepatocellular carcinoma clinical trials, followed by phase I at 29%. Phase III contributes 12%. The strong presence of phase II and phase I candidates indicates a robust pipeline, promising significant advancements, increased treatment options, and potential growth in the hepatocellular carcinoma market.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Drug Classes

The drug molecule categories covered under the hepatocellular carcinoma pipeline analysis include small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, peptides, and polymers. The hepatocellular carcinoma report provides a comparative analysis of the drug classes for each drug in various phases of clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma. Targeted therapy is gaining momentum in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, focusing on receptor tyrosine kinases. For instance, ETN101, a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting FLT3, KIT, VEGFR2, and PDGFR-beta, is under evaluation. Preclinical studies demonstrated its ability to inhibit tumor growth and induce partial or complete remission in models unresponsive to conventional therapies, offering potential new options for advanced HCC patients.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma – Emerging Drugs Profile

This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for hepatocellular carcinoma. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of hepatocellular carcinoma drug candidates.

Drug: HLX13

HLX13, an ipilimumab biosimilar administered intravenously, is being sponsored by Shanghai Henlius Biotech for this integrated Phase I/III trial. It is expected to be completed in 2028. The study is examining the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of HLX13 compared with US- and EU-sourced YERVOY® in first-line treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. HLX13 acts by blocking CTLA-4–mediated inhibitory signaling, enhancing T-effector cell activity, and potentially depleting tumour-site T-regulatory cells to strengthen antitumor immune responses.

Drug: HLX53

HLX53, an anti-TIGIT Fc fusion protein developed by Shanghai Henlius Biotech, is being evaluated in this Phase II trial sponsored by the company. The study is examining the optimal dosage and ongoing assessment of efficacy, safety, and tolerability when HLX53 is combined with Serplulimab (HLX10, an anti-PD-1 antibody) and HLX04, a bevacizumab biosimilar. HLX53 is designed to enhance immune response by blocking TIGIT and is administered intravenously. This trial is progressing toward its estimated completion in 2027, aiming to improve outcomes in untreated advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Drug: MT-303

MT-303 is an investigational, first-in-class GPC3-FcA-LNP therapy that is being administered intravenously to target GPC3-expressing advanced or metastatic cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Developed by Myeloid Therapeutics, this Phase 1 study is examining the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MT-303 while determining its MTD and RP2D. The drug is designed to reprogram myeloid cells to attack tumors and stimulate a broader immune response by presenting tumor neoantigens. The trial is currently ongoing and is expected to be completed in 2026.
