Study of SPH5030 for HER2-positive advanced colorectal or bile duct cancer
This study tests a new medication (SPH5030) for people with advanced colorectal or biliary tract cancer whose tumors have a specific marker called HER2. It may offer a treatment option if previous therapies have stopped working.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06451497RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZM008 alone and with toripalimab for advanced cancers

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06467357RecruitingPhase 3
A study of T-DXd and rilvegostomig for HER2-positive bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (T-DXd and rilvegostomig) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has not been treated before. The cancer must have high levels of a protein called HER2. This study compares the new drugs to standard treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT05482893RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Spevatamig for advanced stomach, pancreas, or bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Spevatamig (PT886), alone or with different chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy combinations, for people with certain advanced stomach, pancreatic, or bile duct cancers. The goal is to see if it shrinks tumors and is safe.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary tract cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 128 recruiting biliary tract 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 tract 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 tract 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.
