- NCT05065957RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of two oral chemo medicines for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral chemotherapy medicines (D07001 softgel plus Xeloda/TS-1) in people with advanced bile duct tract cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It’s for situations where first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy no longer worked.

BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07151118Recruiting
Blood test for advanced biliary tract cancer
This study uses a simple blood test (ctDNA) to learn more about the genetic makeup of advanced biliary tract cancers. It may help researchers understand how these cancers respond to treatment, and it doesn't involve any extra drugs or procedures—just blood draws.

Chemo combo for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (trifluridine/tipiracil and oxaliplatin) for people with advanced or metastatic bile duct cancer (including gallbladder cancer) who have only had one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.

Adebrelimab plus apatinib and chemo for new bile duct cancer
This study tests a combination of three medicines (adebrelimab, apatinib, and standard chemotherapy) for people with newly diagnosed bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink the tumor and make it possible to remove later.

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.

Study of a new drug for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BL-B01D1 combined with an immunotherapy for people with advanced bile duct cancer. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06943521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938321RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests two new drugs, AK130 and AK112, for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing 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 - NCT06909188Recruiting
Helicobacter infection in bile duct cancer patients
This study looks for links between Helicobacter bacteria and cancers of the bile ducts and gallbladder. It compares patients with bile duct cancer, people having gallbladder surgery for non-cancer reasons, and healthy liver donors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary tract cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 137 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.
