NCT ID NCT05328167

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a special ultrasound using gas microbubbles can predict how well bile duct cancer responds to targeted radiotherapy. The ultrasound can also pop these bubbles, which might make the cancer easier to treat. Sixteen adults with bile duct cancer took part to see if this imaging method helps doctors measure tumor response and improve treatment outcomes.
