View clinical trials related to Cholangiocarcinoma.
Filter by:The main reason for conducting this research is to gain a better understanding of why some people with cholangiocarcinoma are not able to participate in or complete clinical trials. Historically, certain groups of people have been more likely to participate in clinical trials, but there hasn't been much research to understand why this is the case. The goal is to find out which aspects of a clinical trial may make it more difficult for patients to take part or see it through. The data will be evaluated through different demographic lenses and identify trends that could help improve the experience of future cholangiocarcinoma patients during clinical trials.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the recommendations of the artificial intelligence clinical decision support system 'ADBoard', with the recommendations of physicians by tumor conferences in patients with hepatobiliary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ADBoard achieve a high level of similar recommendations as physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard consider a more complete set of patient-related data than in physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard reduce the time between the first time the patient is discussed at the tumor conference and the start of the recommended treatment plan? Participants will have their hepatobiliary tumor treatments determined by either tumor conference with ADBoard, or tumor conference without ADBoard.
This is a single-arm, open, multicenter trial of carralizumab in combination with albumin paclitaxel and apatinib mesylate for the second-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma. The study enlists patients with histopathologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (including intrahepatic, extrahepatic, and distal cholangiocarcinoma). Previously, she had received systematic internal medicine anti-tumor therapy with gemcitabine regimen as standard, which met the inclusion criteria of this study. She was given oral therapy with albumin binding paclitaxel combined with carrilizumab and apatinib mesylate. Treatment continued or was evaluated every 2 cycles until disease progression or toxic side effects of patient intolerance to the treatment regimen. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) in second-line therapy with carrilizumab in combination with albumin paclitaxel and apatinib mesylate in patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
The clinical incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is high and insidious, and the prognosis of advanced patients is poor. The clinical manifestations of traditional chemotherapy GC and emerging targeted therapy are different in most patients, and there is still no effective scheme to evaluate the differences in individual patient reactivity. Patient-derived tumor organoids (PDO) are 3D-cultured tissues based on tumor cell dryness that reproduce a variety of biological characteristics of parental tumors in vitro and have similar drug responsiveness to tumors in vivo. This project plans to use clinical cases and optimized organoid culture system to first construct relevant organoids from unresectable ICC patient puncture samples. Secondly, based on the organoid model of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, the clinical efficacy of GC regimen was predicted, and in vitro and in vivo drug screening was conducted to explore the guidance of patient-derived tumor organoids for clinical treatment. Then, multi-omics data of organoids and in vitro and in vivo drug efficacy evaluation model were used to explore the drug resistance genes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, providing the basis for personalized drug screening and efficacy evaluation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
After enrollment, they received photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy for a maximum of 2 times, and the longest treatment time was 6 months.The investigator will judge whether the second photodynamic therapy+ sonodynamic therapy treatment treatment is necessary according to the tolerance and tumor progress of the subject. The second photodynamic therapy+ sonodynamic therapy treatmentwill be carried out at the end of the sixth month. After the treatment period, the patients will be followed up once in the first, third and sixth months respectively, and then every three months. The observation and follow-up were carried out from the first subject after randomization to the end of 24 months after the last case. The inspection and follow-up evaluation on the 7th day of the treatment period, including vital sign examination, blood routine examination, urine routine examination, blood biochemical examination, electrocardiogram examination, recording the number of times of plastic stent/metal stent drainage/drainage tube replacement, evaluation of physical status scale, evaluation of quality-of-life scale, recording concomitant medication and adverse events. At the end of the first, third and sixth month, you need to come to the hospital for follow-up evaluation. In the test group, the investigator shall judge whether the second photodynamic therapy is needed at the end of the sixth month according to the tolerance and tumor progression of the subject. Before receiving the next photodynamic therapy, your body and quality of life must be evaluated according to KPS score and quality of life scale Arrange laboratory and relevant examinations. If the second photodynamic therapy is needed, continue to record the concomitant medication and adverse events at this stage. During the follow-up period, after the longest treatment period of 6 months, a follow-up was conducted every 3 months until the end of 24 months after the last subject was enrolled in the scheme. Your survival, replacement of plastic stent/metal stent/drainage tube, biliary drainage, treatment methods for cholangiocarcinoma and serious adverse events were recorded during the follow-up.
This is a prospective, Two-arm, comparative, randomized, controlled phase II trial, to explore the efficacy and safety of Regorafenib and HAIC vs. FOLFOX as Second Line Therapy for Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.
A single-arm, interventional study combining Immunotherapy and propranolol with/without chemotherapy and propranolol 1. Pancreatic Cancer Durvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks, in combination with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (day 1/8/15) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients. 2. HCC Durvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks in combination with continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients. 3. Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC, Cholangiocarcinoma of the gallbladder or bile ducts) Durvalumab will be administered once every 3 weeks, in combination with cisplatin + gemcitabine (day 1/8) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients.
The purpose of this research is to see if combining gemcitabine, cisplatin and Durvalumab chemotherapy treatments with a direct tumor therapy called Yittrium-90, will work better together to shrink the tumor and control cancer.
This is a Phase III, prospective, randomized, three-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab in combination with lenvatinib and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy compared with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for unresectable advanced ICC. This study will enroll approximately 480 patients with unresectable advanced ICC who have received no prior systemic therapy. Patients who meet the requirements will be randomly assigned to Treatment Arm A: Toripalimab, lenvatinib, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or Treatment Arm B: Toripalimab, oral placebo, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or Treatment Arm C: Intravenous placebo, oral placebo, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. All patients will receive standard chemotherapy (GEMOX or GC per Investigator decision) for a maximum of 8 cycles. After the completion of standard chemotherapy, all patients continue to receive maintenance therapy with toripalimab injection or its placebo in combination with lenvatinib mesylate capsule or its placebo until unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression and loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigators, start of new anti-cancer therapy, death, other conditions requiring termination of study treatment, or the patient meets the criteria for study withdrawal, whichever occurs first. In the absence of unacceptable toxicity, patients who meet criteria for unconfirmed disease progression per RECIST v1.1 while receiving toripalimab, lenvatinib, or their placebos will be permitted to continue treatment if their clinical status or symptoms are stable or improved (as determined by the investigators) or until loss of clinical benefit. Patients with confirmed disease progression should discontinue toripalimab, lenvatinib, or their placebos. Tumor assessments will be performed at screening and during the study treatment per protocol. In the absence of progression, tumor assessments will continue as scheduled, regardless of whether study treatment ends, until confirmed disease progression or other criteria for study withdrawal are met, whichever occurs first. Patients who meet RECIST v1.1 criteria for progression should undergo tumor assessments as scheduled if clinical benefits of continuing study treatment are determined by investigators until progression is confirmed per iRECIST (iCPD), or the criteria for study withdrawal are met, whichever occurs first. Computerized tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for efficacy evaluation will be performed at baseline, every 6 weeks (Q6W) in the first year (52 weeks), and every 9 weeks (Q9W) in the second year (after week 52). All AEs and concomitant medications during the study will be recorded. An end-of-treatment (EOT) visit will be performed within 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or termination of study treatment is confirmed by the investigator. After the EOT visit, follow-up for survival (telephone visit is allowed) will be conducted and AEs and subsequent anti-cancer therapy will be collected.
Liver cancer, specifically cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), is very common in different areas in Thailand. Many factors make this cancer more common, such as liver fluke infection, older age, eating raw fish, family history of cancer, alcohol intake, taking certain medicines (praziquantel), low intake of fresh vegetable, and low education. In 2015, researchers from Khon Kaen University developed the Community-based Health Education and Communication (CHEC) program to prevent liver cancer caused by liver flukes in communities of the Khon Kaen province, Thailand. The main aim of this 5-year research study is to enhance the CHEC program to prevent liver cancer, and test if it is effective in improving the knowledge and behaviours of community residents regarding how to prevent liver cancer. This study will take place in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Other aims are to: 1. Increase understanding in the community that make it difficult to prevent liver cancer, as well as community characteristics that can help prevent liver cancer; 2. Incorporate the program we develop in healthcare to prevent liver cancer in Thailand.
