Can a three-drug cocktail shrink advanced bile-duct tumors?

NCT ID NCT07719738

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether combining bevacizumab (a blood-vessel growth blocker) with nab-paclitaxel and an oral chemotherapy called S-1 can shrink tumors in people with advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma that has worsened after initial treatment. About 32 participants will receive the drug combination in 21-day cycles. The main goal is to see how many patients experience tumor shrinkage, while also tracking side effects and survival.

Active substance
bevacizumab plus nab-paclitaxel and tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule (S-1)
What this could lead to
If effective, this combination could offer a new second-line treatment option for people with advanced biliary tract cancer who have not responded to initial therapy.
