Liver transplant for bile duct cancer after treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. Before the transplant, you would receive radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy to shrink the tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a type of bile duct cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that has not spread outside the liver.
- You have at least one tumor larger than 2 cm, and no more than 5 tumors in total.
- Your liver tumors cannot be fully removed by surgery.
- You are in good general health (able to do daily activities without help).
- You agree to use highly effective birth control for up to 2 years after the transplant (if you or your partner can become pregnant).

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.
This study tests if a liver transplant can help people with a type of bile duct cancer that can't be removed with surgery. You may join if the cancer has stayed stable or shrunk for at least 6 months with treatment.
This trial tests if a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. You must have had at least six months of chemotherapy and your cancer must be stable or smaller before you can be listed for a transplant.
This trial looks at liver transplant for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a bile duct cancer inside the liver) when the cancer is not safely removable and stays controlled. It may help some patients live longer and with better quality of life by replacing the diseased liver—if strict safety and disease-stability requirements are met.
This study tests if a liver transplant can help people with a type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. It is for patients whose cancer has been stable for at least 6 months after initial treatments.
This trial tests whether a liver transplant can help people with a specific type of bile duct cancer (perihilar) that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to offer a potential cure for those whose tumor is small and hasn't spread.
