Summary

This study tested a three-drug combination for people with advanced bile duct cancer that worsened after standard chemotherapy. The treatment included chemo beads placed directly into the liver tumor, a targeted therapy pill (apatinib), and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody). The goal was to see if this combination could shrink tumors and slow cancer growth. The study enrolled 20 adults aged 18 to 80 with confirmed bile duct cancer that had spread or could not be surgically removed.
