Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06050252RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) before surgery helps people with a high-risk type of bile duct cancer live longer. If you qualify, you would receive the drug combination before your planned surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06439485RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination drug therapy for advanced bile duct cancer with FGFR2 change
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pemigatinib, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has a specific genetic change called FGFR2 fusion. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer when standard treatments have stopped working.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06501625RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for IDH1-mutated bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (ivosidenib, durvalumab, and gemcitabine/cisplatin) as a first treatment for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has a specific IDH1 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07169734RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P03 for advanced CLDN1-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALE.P03, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a certain protein (CLDN1). The drug is given alone (monotherapy) to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06840886RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called PHST001 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05874414RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced KRAS-mutated bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, GNS561 and trametinib, for people with advanced bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) that has a specific genetic change called a KRAS mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease after prior chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07213791RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for FAP-positive cancers
This trial tests a new drug (LY4337713) for cancers that have a specific protein called FAP on their surface. It may be an option for people whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06858735RecruitingPhase 2
HYPERION CCA: a Phase 2 Trial of Systemic Therapy With or Without Liver-directed Radiation Therapy for Patients With Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Phase 2 trial evaluating systemic therapy ± liver-directed RT for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, with broad eligibility for patients who have received at least 4 cycles of gem/cis/durvalumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05179486Recruiting
Study genes and blood markers in bile duct and gallbladder cancers
This study looks at genetic and molecular patterns in people with bile duct or gallbladder cancers, and compares them with people without cancer (or with chronic liver disease). It may help researchers understand why these cancers happen and how to spot risk earlier.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05053555Recruiting
High-dose radiation treatment for hard-to-remove liver tumors
This study uses a form of targeted radiation placed inside/near the liver to treat liver tumors that can’t be surgically removed. It’s meant to shrink or control tumors, especially when they sit near blood vessels or other sensitive organs.
Houston, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT05967182RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus chemo before or around liver surgery
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin given around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, potentially operable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). It may help by strengthening the immune system while also treating the cancer with chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05727176RecruitingPhase 2
Futibatinib for advanced bile duct cancer with FGFR2 changes
This trial tests futibatinib, a targeted pill, in people with advanced (unresectable) or metastatic bile duct cancer that has an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement. It may help shrink tumors after standard chemotherapy has stopped working.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05568680RecruitingPhase 1
Early trial of SynKIR-110 for certain ovarian and lung-lining cancers
This Phase 1 study tests SynKIR-110 in people with certain advanced cancers that have come back or continued growing after prior treatments. It aims to find out if the treatment is safe and how the body responds, including early signs of effectiveness.

What taking part in a cholangiocarcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
