This early-phase study tests a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine (XH001) given alongside standard treatment after surgery for people with high-risk solid tumors (bile duct, gallbladder, pancreatic, liver, or stomach cancer). The main goals are to check safety and see if the vaccin…

This study tests a new drug called rezatapopt (PC14586) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific TP53 Y220C mutation. The drug is designed to reactivate the p53 protein, which normally helps stop cancer growth. The trial will also test rezatapopt combined with th…

This study tests whether adding the drug zanidatamab to standard chemotherapy (with or without an immunotherapy) can help people with advanced HER2-positive bile duct cancer live longer without their cancer growing. About 286 adults with inoperable or metastatic bile duct cancer …

This phase II trial is testing whether alternating standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy with a targeted drug called pemigatinib can help people with advanced biliary tract cancers that have FGFR2 alterations. The study includes adults with cancer that cannot be removed by surg…

This Phase 2 trial tests an oral drug called BAY 2927088 (sevabertinib) in about 111 adults with advanced solid tumors that have HER2 gene mutations. The drug aims to block the abnormal HER2 protein and stop cancer growth. Participants take a 20 mg tablet daily in 3-week cycles u…

This study is testing the drug T-DXd (Enhertu) in 100 adults with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors who have already tried other treatments and have no good options left. The goal is to see how well the drug works in real-world settings, including how many patients respond and …

This global Phase 3 trial is testing whether adding the experimental immunotherapy rilvegostomig to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced biliary tract cancer live longer, compared to adding the approved drug durvalumab. About 1,100 participants with inoperable or meta…

This early-stage trial tests a technique called PIPAC, which turns chemotherapy into a fine mist and sprays it directly into the abdomen during a keyhole surgery. The goal is to see if this method is safe and reduces side effects for people with biliary tract cancer that has spre…

This study tests whether adding tivozanib (a drug that targets blood vessel growth) to atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) can help the immune system attack cancers that normally resist immunotherapy. The trial includes people with several cancer types like bile duct, pancreatic, pro…

This study tests whether adding a targeted, tumor-destroying treatment (like focused radiation or heat ablation) can help people with certain gastrointestinal cancers—such as colorectal, small bowel, or pancreatic cancer—continue their current systemic therapy longer when only a …

This phase 3 trial tests a new drug called nanvuranlat in 480 adults with advanced biliary tract cancer that has worsened after prior treatment. Participants receive either nanvuranlat or one of several standard treatments. The main goal is to see if nanvuranlat helps people live…

This study is testing whether giving chemotherapy (capecitabine or S-1) together with radiation after surgery can help prevent bile duct and gallbladder cancers from coming back. It includes 92 patients whose cancers had high-risk features, like positive lymph nodes or narrow sur…

This study tests a new therapy called EB-HC01, which uses specially engineered natural killer (NK) immune cells to attack cancer cells that have two specific markers (HER2 and CEACAM5). The trial enrolls adults with advanced bile duct or gallbladder cancers that have worsened aft…

This early-phase study tests a new cell therapy for people with advanced biliary tract cancer (bile duct or gallbladder cancer) that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses the patient's own immune T cells, enhanced with a protein called CD160 to better target …

This study tests the drug nivolumab in people with advanced rare cancers that have a specific marker (PD-L1). The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the tumors when other treatments have stopped working. Up to 28 adults will receive treatment for up to 12 months, an…

This phase II trial is testing a combination of two chemotherapy drugs—trifluridine/tipiracil (pills) and oxaliplatin (IV)—in people with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer whose first treatment stopped working. The goal is to see if this combo can control the cancer bet…

This trial tests two drugs, trastuzumab and pertuzumab, already approved for breast cancer, in people with rare cancers that have a specific genetic change called HER2 amplification or mutation. About 30 adults and children with various rare or hard-to-treat cancers will receive …

This study compares robotic-assisted surgery to traditional open surgery for gallbladder cancer. About 94 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see which approach helps patients recover faster after surgery, measured by pain control,…

This study looks at whether a new type of PET scan (FAPI PET/CT) can find and stage gallbladder and bile duct cancers better than the standard scan. About 60 adults with suspected or confirmed cancer will get both scans to compare accuracy. The goal is to improve detection of can…

This study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses special probes to highlight digestive system cancers, such as stomach, liver, colon, and pancreatic cancers. Researchers will enroll 400 adults to see how well this imaging method finds tumors and tracks their response to tre…

This study is testing a blood test that looks for DNA changes from tumors to help diagnose and manage biliary tract cancers, which are often found late and have a low survival rate. Researchers will enroll 1,800 participants with confirmed cancers to see how accurate the test is.…

This study tests whether cancer patients can complete a supervised exercise program from home using video calls. The program includes resistance training with dumbbells and aerobic exercise. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and helps patients maintain functio…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can reduce severe belly pain and improve quality of life in people with digestive tract cancers. 360 participants will be split into three groups: one using a skills-based VR program, one using distracting VR videos, and a contr…

This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. One group gets standard local anesthesia at the incision sites, while the other also receives a nerve block guided by the surgery camera. The goal is to see if the added block reduces pain and the…

This study is building a huge registry of information and biological samples from adults with or at risk for many types of cancer, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers will use this resource to study what causes cancer and how to better prevent, detect, and treat it. The re…

This study is collecting health data and biological samples from 15,000 people in Europe and Latin America to find markers that could predict gallbladder cancer risk or catch it early. Participants include patients with gallbladder cancer or gallstones. The goal is to improve pre…
