Bile test for bile duct cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a sample of bile (a fluid produced by your liver) can help doctors diagnose bile duct cancer more accurately. If you have a narrowing in your bile duct and need a procedure to take a tissue sample, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Have a narrowing (stenosis) in the bile duct
- Need a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or a radiology procedure to take tissue samples
- Not be pregnant
- Not be under legal guardianship

This study is testing a new lab technique to see if it can accurately diagnose a type of bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma from stored tissue samples. It might help doctors diagnose this cancer more accurately in the future.
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.
This study is testing a new blood test to help find cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) earlier and more easily. If you are scheduled for surgery for this cancer, this test may help confirm the diagnosis without more invasive procedures.
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.
This study looks at a new way to detect bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) using samples taken during a routine ERCP. It tests a special protein marker that might help doctors diagnose the condition more accurately.
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.
