New cocktail aims to stop bile duct cancer recurrence

NCT ID NCT07679399

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether a combination of durvalumab (an immunotherapy), chemotherapy (GEMOX or GC), followed by lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) can prevent biliary tract cancer from coming back after surgery. About 222 adults with bile duct or gallbladder cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either this combination or standard capecitabine chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the combination improves the number of patients who remain cancer-free one year after treatment.
