New combo therapy aims to shrink unresectable bile duct tumors
NCT ID NCT07364305
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a treatment for people with advanced bile duct cancer (ICC) that cannot be removed by surgery. The treatment combines chemotherapy given directly into the liver (HAIC) with immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors enough to allow surgery or improve outcomes. About 50 participants will be enrolled.
