NCT ID NCT07369791

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase II trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) to standard chemotherapy can shrink tumors better than chemotherapy plus just one immunotherapy drug in people with advanced biliary tract cancer. The study will enroll 76 adults whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink significantly.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nivolumab and relatlimab (immunotherapy drugs) plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (chemotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option that improves tumor shrinkage rates for people with advanced biliary tract cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early Phase II trial with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Immunotherapy can cause serious side effects like inflammation of organs.
