Recruiting studies
- NCT07337850Recruiting
Testing 68Ga-FAPI PET scan in biliary cancers
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan (called 68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better detect biliary tract cancers, including advanced or recurring gallbladder cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately, which could guide better treatment decisions.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18–90 - NCT07594964RecruitingPhase 1
Safety Study of XH001 Injection for High-Risk Recurrent Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new injection called XH001 as an additional treatment after surgery for patients with high-risk cancers that have come back. The goal is to check if it's safe and whether it helps prevent the cancer from returning again.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07704489Recruiting
Liver and bile duct cancer registry study
This registry collects information from people with liver cancer or bile duct cancer to learn more about the disease and its treatment. Anyone 18 or older with any stage of these cancers can join.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04935853Recruiting
Study of markers that predict bile duct cancer treatment response
This study looks at lab markers (including genetic tests) to predict how people with bile duct cancer respond to treatment. Your answers and samples may help doctors personalize care for bile duct cancer in the future.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06175845Recruiting

This trial tests a minimally invasive treatment using heat (radiofrequency ablation) to destroy cancer cells in the bile duct. It's for patients whose bile duct cancer cannot be removed by surgery and who are also receiving systemic therapy.
BerlinAges 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 - NCT06001658RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before and after surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) given before and after surgery for people with bile duct or gallbladder cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06620848RecruitingPhase 2
A trial of HRS-4642 alone or with adebrelimab for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HRS-4642, either by itself or combined with another drug called adebrelimab, for people whose advanced bile duct cancer has come back or gotten worse after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06937567RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CDH17 car-t therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CDH17 CAR-T for people with advanced solid tumors like colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer. It is for patients who have tried other treatments without success. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called CDH17 found on some cancer cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07176962Recruiting
Blood test for early detection of bile duct cancer
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of DNA changes linked to biliary tract cancer. It aims to see if the test can find these cancers early. If you have biliary tract cancer or a high suspicion of it, you may be able to help.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05257434Recruiting
Body composition test after liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer surgery
This study looks at how well people do after surgery for liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer, using a body composition test (the “inBody” test). It may help doctors understand which body changes after surgery are linked to better or worse recovery.
KochiAges 18–90 - NCT07433673RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and cemiplimab for locally advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of four drugs to see if they shrink locally advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed surgically. It is for people who have not had prior treatment for this cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06789848RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two immunotherapy drugs for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This trial tests two investigational drugs, ligufalimab and cadonilimab, for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) or bile duct cancer (biliary tract cancer, BTC) that has not responded to previous treatment with an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06135896RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a medicine to prevent low white blood cells from chemo
This trial tests a medicine (tripegfilgrastim) that helps prevent a serious drop in white blood cells (severe neutropenia) caused by certain chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced pancreatic or bile duct cancer who are starting a new treatment.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05520788Recruiting
Genetic test-guided treatment for advanced bile and liver cancers
This study looks at using a genetic test (next-generation sequencing) to find cancer gene changes in stage IV hepatobiliary cancer. If there is a matching approved medicine, the study follows how well the “right drug for the right mutation” helps patients receiving palliative care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06084481RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new intravenous drug called ABBV-400 in people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop tumor growth and to check for side effects.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478523RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI-PET scan for initial screening of pancreatic and bile duct cancers
This trial tests a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can better detect pancreatic and bile duct cancers at an early stage. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment plan for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 148 recruiting biliary cancer 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 biliary cancer 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 biliary cancer 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.
