Gallbladder cancer

This study looks at whether giving chemotherapy both before and after surgery helps people with stage II-III gallbladder cancer live longer compared to the usual approach of only giving chemo after surgery. About 186 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Th…

This study tests whether adding the experimental drug CTX-009 to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) helps adults with advanced bile duct, gallbladder, or ampullary cancer that has worsened after one prior treatment. About 168 participants will be randomly assigned to receive eith…

This study tests a combination of two drugs (peposertib and avelumab) plus a special type of radiation (hypofractionated) in people with advanced solid tumors or liver/bile duct cancers that have spread. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combination can shrink tu…

This study tests whether adding the targeted drug binimetinib to standard chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) can shrink tumors or extend survival in people with advanced biliary tract cancers that have certain genetic changes (MAPK pathway alterations). About 66 participants whose cancer wo…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding either ramucirumab (a blood-vessel blocker) or merestinib (a cell-signal blocker) to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin + gemcitabine) can help people with advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer live longer without their disease wor…

This phase 1 trial tests a new method of delivering chemotherapy for people with cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) from gastrointestinal cancers like colorectal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer. The drug, nanoliposomal irinotecan (Oni…

This global phase 3 trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug rilvegostomig to standard chemotherapy can help prevent biliary tract cancer from coming back after surgery. About 757 people who had their cancer completely removed will receive either rilvegostomig or a …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs, lenvatinib and paclitaxel, in 51 adults with advanced biliary tract cancer that has worsened after standard gemcitabine treatment. The goal is to see if the combo can shrink tumors and slow the disease. Participants take lenvat…

This study tests whether combining two drugs, domvanalimab and zimberelimab, can shrink or control advanced liver and bile duct cancers that have stopped responding to earlier treatments. About 58 adults with these cancers will receive the drug combination. The main goal is to se…

This phase II trial tests whether adding the targeted drug selumetinib to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin and gemcitabine) works better than chemotherapy alone for advanced biliary tract or gallbladder cancer. The study enrolls 57 adults who have not had prior treatment. Researc…

This early-phase trial tests whether a patient's own immune cells, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), can shrink advanced bile duct cancers. Four participants receive chemotherapy to prepare their immune system, then an infusion of their own TIL cells plus high-dose ald…

This early-phase trial is testing a combination of two drugs—guadecitabine and durvalumab—in 55 people with advanced liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancers that have spread. Guadecitabine aims to stop cancer cell growth, while durvalumab helps the immune system atta…

This study tests a new drug combination for people with advanced biliary tract cancer (bile duct cancer) who haven't had treatment before. About 93 participants will receive either a standard chemotherapy plus two immunotherapy drugs, or the same plus an extra experimental drug. …

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called sEphB4-HSA combined with standard chemotherapy in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including head and neck, pancreatic, lung, and gallbladder cancers. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination is sa…

This study tests a new medicine called raludotatug deruxtecan in about 160 adults with advanced gastrointestinal cancers (pancreatic, bile duct, gallbladder, colorectal, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction). The drug is designed to attach to cancer cells and deliver a treatment…

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy (gemcitabine/cisplatin) plus two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pembrolizumab) as a first treatment for people with HER2-positive biliary tract cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The study includes 24 participant…

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 …

This study tests a new combination of chemotherapy and two immunotherapy drugs in people with advanced gallbladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the treatment can shrink tumors enough to allow surgery or improve response. About 44 adults aged 18-…

Researchers are studying whether they can predict which patients having routine gallbladder removal for gallstones or related problems might have unsuspected gallbladder cancer. They plan to collect data from up to 30,000 adults and use risk factors to build a scoring system. The…

This study tests a special PET scan that uses a radioactive antibody (64Cu-M5A) to find cancers that produce a protein called CEA. The goal is to see if this scan can detect tumors that standard methods might miss. About 20 adults with CEA-positive cancers (such as breast, colon,…
