Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03637569Recruiting
Skinfold fat measurement and survival in certain digestive cancers
This study looks at whether a simple measurement of fat under the skin (taken at the back of the upper arm) relates to how long people live. It includes adults newly diagnosed with pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer who are starting treatment.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT05000294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus tivozanib for hard-to-treat “cold” cancers
This early-stage study tests whether combining atezolizumab and tivozanib can shrink advanced, hard-to-treat cancers that do not strongly activate the immune system (“immunologically cold”). It is for people whose cancer has already been treated or has no good standard options.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05155878Recruiting
Study of factors that predict outcomes for certain pancreas tumors
This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05849480RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of CD40 treatment with CAPOX and Keytruda for bile duct cancer
This trial studies a new immune “switch” treatment called CDX-1140 combined with standard chemo (CAPOX) and Keytruda, for biliary tract cancer that can’t be cured with surgery or transplant. It’s designed for people whose cancer has progressed after first-line treatment, with the goal of improving cancer control and outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05957250Recruiting
PET scan study to better image pancreatic and bile duct cancer
This study uses a special PET scan drug (Ga-FAPI-46) to create clearer pictures of pancreatic and bile duct cancers. It may help doctors decide on the best next steps—especially before surgery—by checking tumor size and looking for spread.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06274879RecruitingPhase 2
Radiofrequency ablation for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) to treat bile duct cancer that can't be removed by surgery. If you have this type of cancer and are starting standard treatment, this study wants to see if adding this heat treatment is safe and might help.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06277531Recruiting
Testing bile DNA to diagnose unclear bile duct strictures
This trial looks at whether DNA fragments in bile can help doctors tell if a bile duct stricture is cancerous or not. It may provide a less invasive way to get a clear diagnosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06340620Recruiting
Comparing a new ultrasound tool to the standard scope
This study compares a new, possibly easier-to-use ultrasound tool (EndoSound Vision System) to the standard echoendoscope for looking at organs like the pancreas, bile duct, or lymph nodes. If you are already scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound, you may be able to join.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06711211Recruiting
Digestive cancer registry study
This study collects information from patients with different types of digestive cancers to better understand these diseases and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about digestive cancers over time.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06715839Recruiting
Digestive cancer imaging study with targeted antibodies
This trial uses a special imaging test (PET scan) to find digestive system cancers. It uses molecules that attach to cancer cells so they light up on the scan, which may help doctors see tumors more clearly.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06888063RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo pump into the liver for bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed
This trial tests whether giving extra chemotherapy directly to the liver through a small pump (called HAIP) before or after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with bile duct cancer inside the liver. It is for patients whose cancer is considered removable by surgery.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07007832Recruiting
Bile test to diagnose unclear bile duct narrowings
This trial uses a bile sample to help diagnose the cause of a bile duct stricture (a narrowing) that was not clearly identified by standard tests. It may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–90 - NCT07025174RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential anti-angiogenic therapy after immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether giving a drug that blocks blood vessel growth (anti-angiogenic therapy) after immunotherapy can help people with advanced bile duct, gallbladder, or cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this sequence improves outcomes for patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT01915225Recruiting
Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT06076252Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgical methods for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
Zhanjiang, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07155525RecruitingPhase 3
Glue to prevent leaks after pancreas surgery
This trial tests whether a special medical glue (Glubran® 2) applied to the pancreas during surgery can help prevent fluid leaks. It is for people undergoing a Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer who have a soft pancreas.
