Freezing, immunotherapy, and chemo for bile duct tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment approach for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has not been treated before. It combines a freezing procedure (cryoablation) with an immunotherapy drug (Relaforp Alpha) and chemotherapy to see if it can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type of bile duct or gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread.

- You have at least one tumor that can be measured on a scan and is suitable for a freezing procedure (cryoablation).
- You do not have an active autoimmune disease, active infections like hepatitis B or C, or certain heart or lung conditions.

This study tests a combination of freezing the tumor (cryoablation), an investigational immunotherapy (QL1706), and a targeted therapy pill (lenvatinib) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has progressed after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this new combination can help control the cancer and improve outcomes.
This study tests a combination of four drugs—two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and toripalimab), a targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and chemotherapy—as a first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer (cancer of the bile ducts or gallbladder). The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
This trial tests a combination of drugs given before surgery to shrink bile duct cancer and possibly improve outcomes. The drugs include an immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and three chemotherapy agents (gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1).
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing part of the liver tumor (cryoablation) combined with an immunotherapy drug called anti–PD-1 can shrink advanced bile-duct cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It may help control the cancer after prior treatments have stopped working.
This trial tests a combination of freezing the tumor (cryoablation), an experimental immunotherapy (SHR-1701), and a targeted therapy pill (famitinib) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has progressed after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
This trial tests a procedure called cryoablation, which freezes and destroys cancer cells, combined with a targeted therapy drug (anlotinib) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can slow the cancer's growth and improve outcomes.
