View clinical trials related to Cholangiocarcinoma.
Filter by:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a heterogeneous group of cancers arising from the epithelial cells of bile ducts. Because of highly aggressive malignancy, most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and lose the chance to undergo surgery. As more effective and novel chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy become available, multiple treatments can be chosen for the patients with advanced CCA. Cytotoxic cell death during tumor chemotherapy triggers antigen release and induces strong anti-tumor effects of T cells. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) can reduce the expression of PD-L1 and inhibit Treg cell infiltration, and together with immune checkpoint inhibitors, they can relieve tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therefore,we aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib, tislelizumab combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GPLET) in the treatment of advanced cholangiocarcinoma.
A median survival period of 3 to 6 months is the prognosis for patients with advanced, unresectable EHCC. For patients with locally advanced, unresectable EHCC, effective management of tumor growth is the only option to increase stent patency and survival time. In patients with cholangiocarcinoma, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is therapy that has been shown to improve stent patency and overall survival (OS). Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been demonstrated in numerous studies to prolong the life spans of individuals with malignant biliary obstruction . In the literature, comparing the clinical efficacy and adverse outcomes of these two endoscopic procedures is rare.
This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, phase 2/3 trial of the bispecific antibody CTX-009 plus paclitaxel versus paclitaxel in patients with previously treated, unresectable advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancers.
This is a prospective pilot protocol investigating whether ctDNA detection be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein versus the standard practice of sampling from a peripheral vein in patients who are undergoing biopsies for hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.
The PLATON Network study is designed to elevate personalized therapy based on genomic tumor profiles in gastrointestinal cancer patients. Hereby, PLATON's study-design focuses on the patient's tumor molecular profiling. Within the network a web application will be developed to link clinical investigators and information on study sites, cancer patients and genetic alteration data, as well as available clinical trials at PLATON's study sites.
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.
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.
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical study to preliminarily observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with TACE in the treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
This is an open-label,single center,non-randomized,single arm exploratory study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody plus GEMOX as postoperative adjuvant therapy in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma with positively metastatic lymph nodes.
