Recruiting studies
- NCT06280508RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative chemo plus immunotherapy for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy (adebrelimab), and a targeted therapy (apatinib) before and after surgery for bile duct cancer that can be removed and has a high risk of coming back. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of recurrence.
Guangzhou, China/GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07786766RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib plus immunotherapy for FGFR2-positive bile duct cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs—pemigatinib (a targeted therapy) and a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy)—with or without chemotherapy, for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than standard treatment, and to find better ways to treat this type of cancer.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06060990Recruiting
Copper and trace elements in biliary tract cancer
This study looks at levels of copper and other minerals in the blood of people with biliary tract cancer (cancer of the bile ducts or gallbladder). If you have not had treatment yet, this trial may help doctors understand how these elements relate to your cancer.
LjubljanaAges 18–80 - NCT07398339RecruitingPhase 2
Photodynamic therapy for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a light-activated drug called cosiporfin sodium for people with advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The treatment targets tumors in the bile ducts and may help shrink them.
Shanghai, Pudong New AreaAges 18 years+ - NCT07197554RecruitingPhase 1
A study of an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ST-01156, designed to attack cancer cells by breaking down a protein called RBM39. It may be an option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT07142226Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial uses a blood test called ctDNA to look at the genetic makeup of your cancer. It aims to learn more about bile duct cancer and may help guide your treatment choices.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06708663RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug combo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests two new drugs, HX009 and IN10018, with or without standard chemotherapy, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to treatment or have no standard options. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06648057Recruiting
Predictors of response in biliary tract cancer
This trial is looking at how certain markers in your blood or tissue (biomarkers) might predict how well the combination of Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab works against advanced biliary tract cancer. If you're already scheduled to receive these two drugs, researchers want to learn more from your samples to help future patients.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT03445585Recruiting
Biobank study for primary sclerosing and primary biliary cholangitis
This study collects and stores samples from people with PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis), PBC (primary biliary cholangitis), and some related liver conditions. Researchers use these samples to better understand these diseases and support future research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07544589RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DISP-10 for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called DISP-10 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system, such as stomach, colon, or bile duct cancers. It aims to see if DISP-10 is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05705492RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to help cancer-related weight and appetite loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether olanzapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and not eating enough. It looks for improvements in appetite and weight while you receive your first-line palliative cancer treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04037007Recruiting
Fistulotomy during ERCP to open the bile duct entrance
This trial looks at whether a specific small procedure during ERCP helps doctors reach and drain the bile duct when gallstones or bile duct narrowing are suspected. It may help people avoid getting stuck during the procedure and improve how successfully the bile duct can be reached.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–90 - NCT01950572Recruiting
Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06671418Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Stenting vs drainage for blocked bile ducts from cancer
This study compares two ways to open blocked bile ducts near the liver due to cancer that cannot be removed. One method uses a stent placed through the skin (percutaneous stenting), and the other uses a tube placed through a scope (endoscopic drainage). The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving jaundice and improving quality of life.
RotterdamAges Any age - NCT07696572Recruiting
Testing a new device for EUS procedures
This trial is studying a new tool called the RIVOS™ EUS access device, which is used during a type of internal ultrasound called endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The goal is to see how well it works for people who need this procedure.

Study of four drugs for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (adebrelimab, apatinib, gemcitabine, and cisplatin) as a first treatment for people with advanced or metastatic bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
ZhengzhouAges 18–80 - NCT02674100Recruiting
Registry for pancreatic cancer patients getting a specific ablation
This is a research registry that collects information from adults with pancreatic cancer who are treated with an ablation procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this approach and how the treatment is used in real life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07780838RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced bile duct cancer with an FGFR2 change
This study tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and cisplatin) with an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab), alternating with a targeted therapy (pemigatinib) for people with advanced biliary tract cancer that has an FGFR2 gene change. The goal is to see if this treatment sequence helps control the cancer.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07285044RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 147 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.
