We’re tracking 8 recruiting cholangiocarcinoma studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT03942328RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell vaccine plus checkpoint treatment after liver radiation
This trial tests a combination of a personalized immune cell treatment (made from your own cells) and a pneumococcal vaccine along with an “immune checkpoint” drug after high-dose radiation for certain unresectable liver cancers. The goal is to help your immune system better attack the cancer and to see how safe and effective this approach is.

Tested drug shots for advanced liver and bile duct cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a drug called VG161 given by injection into liver tumors, either alone or together with nivolumab. It aims to see how well it works and whether it is safe for people with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).

Blood monitoring for bile duct cancer treatment and outlook
This trial uses a simple blood test to track how well bile duct cancer responds to treatment and to predict outcomes. It may help doctors make better decisions about surgery and other therapies.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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.
Duluth, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04753996Recruiting
Testing bile-based “mini-liver” samples in PSC and non-PSC groups
This study collects bile and uses it to grow small lab models (organoids) from people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and from people without PSC. Researchers want to better understand how PSC changes bile cells, which could improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT06914648Recruiting
Liver preparation before surgery study for certain liver cancers
This study tests a procedure called portal vein embolization (PVE) to help grow the healthy part of the liver before surgery. It may be an option for people with certain liver cancers who need more healthy liver tissue before their operation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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.

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 Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting cholangiocarcinoma studies with a site in Minnesota, 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 Minnesota?
- 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 Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, 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 Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
