This trial tests a combination of three treatments for people with advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The treatments include a chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery (HAIC), an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab), and a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib). It aims to see if this triple therapy can shrink or control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06910722Recruiting
Liver transplant for bile duct cancer after treatment
This trial tests if a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. Before the transplant, you would receive radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy to shrink the tumor.
Clichy-sous-BoisAges 18–65 - NCT07070700RecruitingPhase 2
Cryoablation with targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of cryoablation (freezing tumors), lenvatinib (a targeted therapy), and QL1706 (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) that has worsened after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help stop the cancer from growing.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
