Recruiting studies
- NCT06355427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for bile duct cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new type of PET-CT scan (called FAPI) to see if it helps doctors better decide treatment for people with bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed. It may help avoid unnecessary surgery if the scan shows the cancer has spread.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07206355Recruiting
Studying bile duct and liver lesions for new cancer tests
This study looks at tissue samples from people with bile duct, liver, or pancreas problems to develop better ways to detect cancers in these areas. If you are scheduled for a biopsy, scan, or surgery for a suspected growth in your liver, pancreas, or bile duct, you may be able to help.
NottinghamAges 16 years+ - NCT06956716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine made from your tumor's genetic information. It's for people with advanced bile duct cancer that hasn't been treated yet, to see if it can help their immune system fight the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06438822RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) with three chemotherapy drugs for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has already been treated with gemcitabine. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps control the cancer better.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07105748RecruitingPhase 2
HAIC plus Camrelizumab and Rivoceranib for advanced mixed liver-bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for a rare form of liver cancer that is both hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma: HAIC (chemotherapy given directly into the liver artery), Camrelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack cancer cells), and Rivoceranib (a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors). It may be an option if you haven't had prior systemic therapy for this cancer and your liver function is stable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07105852RecruitingPhase 2
A new drug combo for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, sacituzumab tirumotecan and pucotenlimab, for people with advanced bile duct cancer (including gallbladder cancer) that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works well, especially for those with a protein called TROP2 on their cancer cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06406816RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vaccine and chemotherapy after surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine combined with chemotherapy to help prevent bile duct cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people who had their tumor removed but have a high risk of recurrence.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07070700RecruitingPhase 2
Cryoablation with targeted therapy and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of cryoablation (freezing tumors), lenvatinib (a targeted therapy), and QL1706 (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) that has worsened after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help stop the cancer from growing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06986486Recruiting
Liver transplant for perihilar bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether a liver transplant can help people with a specific type of bile duct cancer (perihilar) that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to offer a potential cure for those whose tumor is small and hasn't spread.
Milan, MichiganAges 18–70 - NCT07063888RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiation after surgery for bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with radiation after surgery can help prevent the return of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a type of bile duct cancer. It is for people whose surgery showed a narrow margin or cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07007832Recruiting
Bile test to diagnose unclear bile duct narrowings
This trial uses a bile sample to help diagnose the cause of a bile duct stricture (a narrowing) that was not clearly identified by standard tests. It may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–90 - NCT06199895RecruitingPhase 2
Study of paclitaxel for patients with taxane-resistant solid tumors
This trial tests paclitaxel given as tiny micelle particles for people whose cancer (pancreatic, bile duct, lung, stomach, esophagus, or breast) stopped responding to taxane chemotherapy or did not shrink. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard taxanes no longer work.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06997913Enrolling by invitation
Immunotherapy and chemoradiation after bile duct cancer surgery
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy and radiation after surgery can help prevent bile duct cancer from coming back in people who have a high risk of recurrence.
XiAn, ShanxiAges 18–70 - NCT06901622Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a combination of drugs for advanced gallbladder and bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy (anlotinib) to standard chemo plus an immunotherapy (camrelizumab) is more effective than chemo plus immunotherapy alone for advanced gallbladder or bile duct cancers that cannot be removed by surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06888063RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo pump into the liver for bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed
This trial tests whether giving extra chemotherapy directly to the liver through a small pump (called HAIP) before or after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with bile duct cancer inside the liver. It is for patients whose cancer is considered removable by surgery.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06859684RecruitingPhase 2
Triple therapy for advanced bile duct cancer of the liver
This trial tests a combination of three treatments for people with advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The treatments include a chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver artery (HAIC), an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab), and a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib). It aims to see if this triple therapy can shrink or control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06858735RecruitingPhase 2
HYPERION CCA: a Phase 2 Trial of Systemic Therapy With or Without Liver-directed Radiation Therapy for Patients With Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cholangiocarcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 recruiting cholangiocarcinoma 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 cholangiocarcinoma 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 cholangiocarcinoma 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.
