Summary

This study tests whether combining two drugs—regorafenib (a targeted therapy) and durvalumab (an immunotherapy)—can help people with advanced biliary tract cancer that has stopped responding to chemotherapy. About 40 participants will receive both drugs to see if the combination is safe and can slow cancer growth. The goal is to find a new treatment option for this difficult-to-treat cancer.
