Liver transplant offers new hope for incurable bile duct cancer
NCT ID NCT06125769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people with a type of bile duct cancer (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. About 50 participants will receive standard chemotherapy followed by a liver transplant. Researchers will track how long they live and their quality of life, and also look for markers that predict the best outcomes.
