Perihilar intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

This trial tests whether adding radiofrequency ablation to standard chemotherapy and bile duct stenting helps patients with inoperable bile duct cancer. Radiofrequency ablation uses a catheter to deliver heat that destroys tumor tissue blocking the bile duct. Researchers compare …

This study tests a new drug called ivonescimab against standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) for people with advanced bile duct cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. About 72 participants who were in the SAFIR-ABC10 trial will be randomly assigned to receive either ivonescim…

This trial is investigating whether giving a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery, and continuing immunotherapy after, can improve outcomes for people with a rare and aggressive type of bile duct cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive ei…

This early-phase study tests a new cell therapy for people with advanced biliary tract cancer (bile duct or gallbladder cancer) that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses the patient's own immune T cells, enhanced with a protein called CD160 to better target …

This study tests whether using heat (radiofrequency ablation) to destroy cancer tissue inside the bile duct before placing a metal stent can keep the duct open longer than placing a stent alone. It involves 122 adults with inoperable bile duct cancer. The main goal is to see how …

This phase 3 trial is testing whether giving a targeted therapy after initial standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced biliary cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. Participants must have a tumor with a specific genetic change and stable disease after…

This study is testing a treatment strategy for biliary tract cancer, a group of aggressive cancers with poor survival. The approach combines hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with systemic drugs like bevacizumab and an immunotherapy. The goal is to shrink tumors and i…

This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people with a type of bile duct cancer (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be surgically removed. About 50 participants will receive standard chemotherapy followed by a liver transplant. Researchers will track how lon…

This phase II trial is testing whether adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) to standard chemotherapy (GEMOX) after surgery can help prevent cancer from returning in people with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The study plans to enroll 6…

This study looks at whether an improved endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can better find cancer in lymph nodes of people with bile duct cancer. About 250 patients with presumed resectable cancer will get the enhanced EUS before surgery. The goal is to see how many patients are spared …

This study follows 150 adults with liver or bile duct cancer who are receiving standard treatments like surgery, ablation, or chemotherapy. Researchers will collect repeated blood samples before, during, and after treatment to analyze tumor DNA, immune cells, and proteins. The go…
