NCT ID NCT06140134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of advanced bile duct cancer that hasn't spread. Participants will first receive chemotherapy to control the cancer, then undergo a liver transplant. The goal is to see if this approach helps them live longer compared to chemotherapy alone. The study involves 30 adults whose cancer has been stable or shrunk with at least 6 months of chemotherapy.
