Active substance

liposomal irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, lenvatinib, and a PD-1 inhibitor

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with advanced bile duct cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and extending survival.

What could go wrong
