This phase 2 trial tests whether specially selected immune cells taken from a patient's own tumor, grown in large numbers in the lab, and given back along with the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can shrink tumors in people with metastatic colorectal, pancreatic, ovarian, breast, o…

This trial tests whether a personalized nutrition plan, combined with exercise and psychological support before surgery, can improve outcomes for people with primary liver cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard dietary advice or an enhanced program …

This study tests whether adding the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) to standard immunotherapy can improve tumor control and survival in 240 people with advanced liver or gallbladder cancer who also have depression or anxiety. Participants will receive either fluoxetine or a pl…

This early-phase trial is testing a treatment called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in 50 people with advanced liver or pancreatic cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. Doctors take immune cells from a patient's tumor, grow them in a lab, and then infuse …

This study tests a dye called CYTALUX (pafolacianine) that attaches to cancer cells and glows under a special camera during surgery. About 50 adults with certain cancers (like esophageal, pancreatic, or gynecologic) will get the dye before surgery. The goal is to see if the glowi…

This study is testing a blood test that looks for DNA signals from 20 different cancers, including lung, breast, and colon cancer. Researchers will see if the test can find cancer early, detect any cancer left after treatment, and catch a relapse before it shows up on scans. The …

This trial tests whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), delivered through telehealth group sessions, can help reduce cancer-related distress in patients with incurable hepatobiliary or breast cancer. Participants will learn to cope with difficult thoughts and emotions w…

This study is for Black adults newly diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. It focuses on ensuring patients receive proper biomarker testing and evidence-based care, helping them find and join clinical trials if they choose, and providing easy-to-understand information about the…

This study will follow about 4,490 adults with liver or bile duct cancer who are receiving durvalumab-based treatment as part of their routine care. Researchers want to see how long patients live and how well the treatment works outside of clinical trials. The goal is to gather r…

This study collects blood and tissue samples from 2000 people—some with cancer and some without—to create a blinded reference set. Researchers will use these samples to evaluate how well new blood tests can detect many types of cancer early. The goal is to improve the accuracy of…

This pilot study compares two ways of collecting blood to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with liver or pancreatic cancers. Researchers will take blood from a standard arm vein and also from the vein that drains directly from the tumor during a biopsy. The goal is …

This study tests a program where patients with liver cancer meet with a navigator who helps them connect to medical and community resources. The goal is to understand patient needs and improve access to care and research participation. Adults with hepatocellular carcinoma or othe…

This study is testing a software tool that uses DNA from a blood sample to predict the risk of blood clots returning in people with cancer who have finished 3-12 months of blood thinner treatment. The goal is to see if a low-risk result means it's safe to stop blood thinners with…

This study looks at how often staging laparoscopy – a small camera operation – finds cancer spread that modern scans miss in liver, pancreas, and bile duct cancers. Researchers will review data from 350 patients treated between 2012 and 2026. The goal is to see if this extra step…

This study looks at how social factors, like transportation problems, affect medical care for people with liver and bile duct cancers. Researchers will ask 400 patients about barriers they face. The goal is to understand risks and improve access to care.
