NCT ID NCT07450976
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called SHR-A1904 in people with advanced biliary tract cancer (bile duct cancer) that has not responded to previous treatments. The drug targets a protein called CLDN18.2 found on some cancer cells. The trial aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors and control the disease. About 151 participants will receive the drug until their cancer worsens or side effects become too severe.

- Active substance
- SHR-A1904 (an experimental drug that targets a protein called CLDN18.2 on cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced biliary tract cancer who have run out of standard therapies.
