NCT ID NCT07142226

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a blood test that looks for tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be as good as a tissue biopsy for finding genetic changes in advanced bile duct cancer. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with advanced biliary tract cancer across multiple hospitals in Korea. The goal is to see if this simpler, faster test can help doctors choose the right targeted therapy without needing a tissue sample.
