New cocktail of Liver-Directed chemo and immunotherapy targets deadly bile duct cancer

NCT ID NCT07646717

First seen Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of liver-directed chemotherapy (irinotecan liposome plus 5-FU/LV) with targeted therapy (lenvatinib) and immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) as a first treatment for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer. The study enrolls 30 adults with unresectable or metastatic disease. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes, while monitoring side effects.
