New drug tested for tough liver cancers after other treatments fail

NCT ID NCT00422877

Summary

This study tested a modified version of a chemotherapy drug called Taxoprexin for people with advanced liver, gallbladder, or bile duct cancer that had worsened after their first treatment. The goal was to see if the weekly drug infusions could shrink tumors, control the disease, and extend life. The trial was small and ended early, so its results are limited.
