What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests a combination of four drugs—gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and tislelizumab—in people with advanced biliary tract cancer (bile duct or gallbladder cancer) that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this mix can shrink tumors and improve survival. The trial is enrolling 61 adults in South Korea and will also monitor side effects closely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and tislelizumab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective treatment option for people with advanced biliary tract cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and extending life.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 61 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of four drugs may cause significant side effects, and the benefit over standard therapy is not yet proven.
