MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06280508RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative chemo plus immunotherapy for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy (adebrelimab), and a targeted therapy (apatinib) before and after surgery for bile duct cancer that can be removed and has a high risk of coming back. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of recurrence.
Guangzhou, China/GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07841574RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for bile duct cancer in the liver
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a bile duct cancer in the liver) that cannot be surgically removed. It combines chemo directly into the liver with two drugs that boost the immune system and block blood vessel growth, hoping to shrink the tumor and help you live longer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06487663Recruiting
TACE plus immunotherapy for untreated liver cancer
This study tests combining TACE (a procedure to block the tumor's blood supply) with immunotherapy drugs for liver cancer that has not spread outside the liver. It is for people who have not had any prior treatment for their liver cancer and are healthy enough for TACE.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06462742Recruiting
Microwave ablation vs. surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
This trial compares two treatments for a liver cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma—surgery to remove the tumor versus microwave ablation, which uses heat to destroy cancer cells. It tests if ablation works as well as surgery for people with small tumors that haven't spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07795619Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial is testing a new treatment called HCA nano for a type of bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has not spread. It is for patients whose cancer did not grow after standard chemotherapy.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07786766RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib plus immunotherapy for FGFR2-positive bile duct cancer
This study tests a combination of two drugs—pemigatinib (a targeted therapy) and a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy)—with or without chemotherapy, for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has an FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than standard treatment, and to find better ways to treat this type of cancer.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07760038Recruiting
Phycocyanin for liver protection before partial liver removal
