Liver transplant for perihilar bile duct cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a certain type of bile duct cancer (perihilar) that cannot be removed with surgery.
- Your tumor must be 3 cm or smaller and located at least 1 cm above the upper edge of the pancreas.
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- The cancer cannot have spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
- You must have had a bile duct stent placed in all areas of the liver.
- You must not have had any other cancer in the past 5 years.

This trial studies liver transplantation to treat a specific bile duct cancer (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if a transplant can help when standard chemotherapy has kept the cancer stable.
This trial studies liver transplantation for people with a specific type of bile duct cancer near the liver that cannot be safely removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by offering a transplant after the cancer responds to chemotherapy and spread has been ruled out on scans.
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 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 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.
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.
