New pill targets bile duct cancer that resists standard treatments
NCT ID NCT05948475
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests an oral drug called tinengotinib against standard treatments chosen by the doctor for people with advanced bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) that has a specific genetic alteration (FGFR) and has stopped responding to chemotherapy and an FGFR inhibitor. The study compares how well tinengotinib controls the cancer and its side effects. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either tinengotinib or a standard chemotherapy regimen.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tinengotinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, tinengotinib could offer a new oral treatment option for people with a specific type of bile duct cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial, and the drug may not prove more effective or safer than existing options. Side effects are possible, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF). 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed CCA/adenocarcinoma of biliary origin with radiological evidence of unresectable or metastatic disease. 3. Documentation of FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement gene status 4. Subjects must have received at least one line of prior chemotherapy and exactly one FDA approved FGFR inhibitor. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior receipt of two or more FGFR inhibitors, either approved or investigational drugs. 2. Subjects with known brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases that have radiologically or clinically progressed in the 28 days prior to initiation of therapy. Subjects with asymptomatic brain/CNS metastases or treated brain/CNS metastases that have been clinically stable for 14 days on steroids without escalation of steroids are eligible for enrollment. 3. Subjects with a known concurrent malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other noninvasive or indolent malignancy, including those that have previously undergone potentially curative therapy. 4. Subjects who have received prior systemic therapy or investigational study drug ≤ 5 half-lives or 14 days, whichever is shorter, prior to starting the study drug or who have not recovered (grade ≤ 1 or at pretreatment baseline except tolerable grade 2 alopecia, fatigue/asthenia, and neuropathy due to trauma) from adverse events (AEs) of prior therapy. 5. Concurrent anticancer therapy including chemo-, immune-, or radiotherapy. Hormone therapy may be allowed with Sponsor approval. 6. Subjects who have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting the study drug or who have not recovered from AEs of prior therapy. 7.
