Cholangiocarcinoma clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 10 recruiting cholangiocarcinoma studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04078230Recruiting
Extending lymph node removal during liver tumor surgery
This study looks at whether removing more lymph nodes while surgically removing an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver) improves outcomes. It may help by better checking and treating possible microscopic spread to lymph nodes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04891289RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin with a chemotherapy pump for bile duct cancer
This Phase 2 study tests gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy, and whether adding a chemotherapy pump (with floxuridine and dexamethasone) delivered to the liver improves outcomes. It is for people whose intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cannot be removed with surgery.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04645160RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tivozanib for bile duct and gallbladder cancers after chemotherapy
This Phase 1/2 trial tests tivozanib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) in people with bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has already been treated with first-line chemotherapy. The study looks at how well the drug works and how safe it is in this setting.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06503146RecruitingPhase 2
New imaging tracer for detecting various cancers
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06546969RecruitingPhase 1
Combination therapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and heat therapy (hyperthermia) with a special radiation technique for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that hasn't been treated before. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 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.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01915225Recruiting
Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.

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.

Common questions
- Are there cholangiocarcinoma clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting cholangiocarcinoma studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cholangiocarcinoma study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cholangiocarcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New cholangiocarcinoma studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
