Drug combination for advanced bile duct cancer after first treatment fails
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (anlotinib, nab-paclitaxel, and S-1) for people with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has progressed after first-line chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer better than standard second-line options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need a confirmed diagnosis of advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has grown or returned after standard first-line chemotherapy (gemcitabine-based).
- You should be able to do most daily activities on your own (ECOG score 0-1).
- Your cancer must be measurable on a CT scan (at least 1 cm in size).
- Your liver, kidney, and blood counts need to be within acceptable ranges (your doctor will check these).
- You must not have had another cancer (except cured skin or early cervical cancer).

This trial tests whether giving a drug that blocks blood vessel growth (anti-angiogenic therapy) after immunotherapy can help people with advanced bile duct, gallbladder, or cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this sequence improves outcomes for patients who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs and an immunotherapy drug, followed by targeted radiation, in people with bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This study tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) plus chemotherapy and a targeted drug (lenvatinib) for biliary tract cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to slow cancer growth in patients whose cancer has progressed after one prior treatment.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs for bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery: sintilimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer), bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors), and a standard chemotherapy called AG (gemcitabine and capecitabine). The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer as a first treatment option.
This study tests a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel) plus an immunotherapy (tislelizumab) for people with advanced biliary tract cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this cocktail shrinks tumors better than standard care.
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of three medicines (GEMOX, donafenib, and tislelizumab) for advanced bile duct cancer. It aims to see if the treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes in people with certain tumor stage and health test results.
