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 Results may not be published yet.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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase study tests a personalized peptide vaccine (mBTCvax) combined with two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and tremelimumab) in 25 adults with advanced biliary tract cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can boost the immune system's ability to target cancer cells. Participants must have already received standard chemotherapy and have tumors with specific genetic mutations.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
personalized mutant peptide vaccine (mBTCvax) with Poly-ICLC adjuvant, durvalumab, and tremelimumab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option that helps the immune system fight biliary tract cancer more effectively.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small Phase 1 pilot study with only 25 participants. The combination may cause serious side effects, and it is unknown if it will improve outcomes.
