Predicting treatment outcomes in advanced bile duct cancer
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well current chemotherapy and immunotherapy work for advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancers that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will collect data from multiple centers to build a model that helps predict how patients may respond to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancer
- Your liver function is fairly good (Child-Pugh class A or B)
- You are 18 years or older
- You are expected to live at least 3 months
- You are well enough to be up and about at least half the day (ECOG score 0-2)
- Your blood counts and organ function are within certain safe limits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new combination of a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer, called sintilimab, along with chemotherapy. It is for people who have bile duct cancer or gallbladder cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and have not had treatment for this stage yet. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors or stops them from growing.
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 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 Phase 3 study tests whether a combination of lenvatinib, an immunotherapy medicine (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) works better for advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery. It may help people live longer or control the cancer for longer.
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.
