Combination therapy for advanced bile duct cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of drugs to treat advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The treatment may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with bile duct cancer that is advanced or has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
- You have not had prior systemic treatment for this cancer, but you may have had adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy if it was more than 6 months ago.
- You are in good general health (able to care for yourself) and have adequate liver, kidney, and blood function.
- You do not have significant bleeding, blood clots, or other serious medical conditions that would make the treatment unsafe.

This trial tests a new combination of treatments for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a bile duct cancer in the liver) that cannot be surgically removed. It combines chemo directly into the liver with two drugs that boost the immune system and block blood vessel growth, hoping to shrink the tumor and help you live longer.
This trial tests if adding a combination of immunotherapy (adebrelimab), a targeted drug (apatinib), and chemotherapy into the liver artery (HAIC) before and after surgery can help people with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
This study tests a combination of liver-directed therapy (D-TACE-HAIC), an immunotherapy drug (Envafolimab), and a targeted therapy pill (Lenvatinib) for people with a type of liver cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) with the targeted therapy lenvatinib and the immunotherapy adebrelimab for people with advanced bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
This trial tests whether giving extra chemotherapy directly to the liver through a small pump (called HAIP) before or after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with bile duct cancer inside the liver. It is for patients whose cancer is considered removable by surgery.
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.
