Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06160752RecruitingPhase 1
TYRA-200 for advanced FGFR2-altered bile duct cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug, TYRA-200, for people with advanced bile duct cancer whose tumors have a specific FGFR2 gene change and who have already tried another FGFR inhibitor. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can shrink tumors.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07640048Recruiting
Adjuvant therapy after surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This study tests additional treatment given after surgery to remove high-risk intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). The goal is to reduce the chance the cancer comes back and improve survival in patients whose tumors had concerning features.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04556214Recruiting
Liver transplant test for certain bile duct cancers
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with a non-removable type of bile duct cancer in the liver. To be eligible, the cancer must be in the liver only (no spread), and you typically must already have had at least 6 months of treatment before being listed for transplant.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06208462RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for high-risk bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy directly into the liver artery, an immunotherapy drug, and a targeted therapy pill before surgery for a type of bile duct cancer that has a high chance of coming back. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer is still removable but has certain high-risk features.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06728410RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib plus durvalumab for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pemigatinib and durvalumab, in people with a certain type of advanced bile duct cancer that has a specific genetic change (FGFR2 fusion or rearrangement). The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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 - NCT06296563RecruitingPhase 2
Testing adebrelimab, apatinib, and HAIC for bile duct cancer
This trial tests if adding a combination of immunotherapy (adebrelimab), a targeted drug (apatinib), and chemotherapy into the liver artery (HAIC) before and after surgery can help people with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07176962Recruiting
Blood test for early detection of bile duct cancer
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of DNA changes linked to biliary tract cancer. It aims to see if the test can find these cancers early. If you have biliary tract cancer or a high suspicion of it, you may be able to help.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06192797RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for unresectable bile duct cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—a liver-directed chemotherapy infusion (HAIC), a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib), and an immunotherapy (pucotenlimab)—to try to shrink bile duct cancers that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to make the cancer surgically removable or to control it for as long as possible.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 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+ - NCT06342414Recruiting
Blood test to tell apart two types of liver cancer
This study uses a blood test (called a liquid biopsy) to help doctors tell the difference between two common types of liver cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). If you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers and have a blood sample taken before starting curative treatment, this study may help improve diagnosis and care.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06101277Recruiting
Local therapy for limited new cancer growth in digestive cancers
This trial tests a cancer treatment that uses local therapies (like radiation or targeted heat) to destroy a small number of growing spots. It is for people with certain gastrointestinal cancers whose main treatment is working well except for a few new spots, so they can avoid switching to a different drug right away.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06860477RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing therapy plus targeted drugs vs. chemotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of cryoablation (freezing tumors) and two drugs (lenvatinib and tislelizumab) works better than a standard chemotherapy regimen (FOLFOX) for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer in the liver) that has not responded to or has stopped responding to one prior therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06313203RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without liver-directed treatment for bile duct cancer
This trial tests whether adding a liver-directed treatment (HAI floxuridine or SIRT) to standard chemotherapy (GemOx) is more effective for people with bile duct cancer inside the liver that cannot be removed by surgery. It may be an option for those whose cancer is only in the liver or nearby lymph nodes.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06862934Recruiting
Liver transplant for bile duct cancer that can't be removed
