Active clinical trials for "Biliary Tract Neoplasms"

<Research Hypothesis> The dynamics of immune systems by cytotoxic chemotherapy and its changes by combination with immuno-oncology agents will be uncovered. The combination of Durvalumab/Tremelimumab with gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy is feasible and efficacious in chemo-naïve biliary tract cancer. <Purpose of the study> To assess the effect of Durvalumab/Tremelimumab in combination with gemcitabine/cisplatin on response rate (RR) in chemo-naïve advanced biliary tract cancer patients.

This Endoscopic Ultrasound guided Biliary Drainage (EUS-BD) vs. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP-TP) trial (BILPAL) is a randomized controlled multicenter trial that will provide evidence whether or not traditional ERCP biliary drainage is to be performed in patients with obstruction in bile duct due to unresectable pancreatic head or periampullary tumor.

To seek the efficacy signals of trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in pretreated patients of HER2 positive, relapse or metastatic carcinoma of digestive system as response rate (RR) determined by the Investigator using RECIST 1.1, and provide evidence for phase III clinical trial.

To verify the role of nab-paclitaxel in second or later-line treatment in advanced biliary tract cancers, the investigators designed a prospective, exploratory, single arm,single center phase II trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with cisplatin as second or later-line treatment in advanced biliary tract cancers.

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a series of rare malignancies with poor overall prognosis. Radical surgery the preferred treatment option, but most patients have lost the opportunity of surgery at the time of diagnosis. At present, there are limited systematical treatment options for biliary tract cancer, with poor efficacy and short duration of responses. In the past few years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy has gradually been added to the advanced biliary comprehensive treatment. However, in view of the low incidence and high heterogeneity of BTC, more large number of clinical trials and practices need to be carried out, and the effective combination regimens and predictive biomarkers need to be explored. This study is a single-arm, open-label, prospective cohort study, combining Camrelizumab with apatinib and capecitabine as the first-line or second-line treatment for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen, and try to find biomarkers that can guild treatment. In this study, 34 patients were enrolled by the Simon's two-stage design, with the objective response rate as the primary endpoint and the disease control rate, progression-free survival, overall survival and safety as secondary endpoints. It is expected that the three-drug combination regimen will have significant efficacy and manageable adverse reactions, and predictive biomarkers can be found.

This study is a randomized, parallel controlled, multicentre phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2450 combined with anlotinib versus chemotherapy as second-line treatment in subjects with advanced biliary cancer.

Study design: Prospective, single-arm, single-center study; Primary endpoint: Safety; Secondary endpoints: Disease control rate, overall response rate, conversion rate, overall survival; Main characteristics of enrolled patients: Patients with initially unresectable biliary tract cancer; Interventions: Combination of Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin, Donafenib and Tislelizumab; Sample size: 10 patients; Treatment until: successfully conversed to resectable disease progressed disease intolerable toxicity patient requests withdrawal Research process: In this study, patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated at the end of every 2 circles of treatment (6 weeks), up to surgical treatment or disease progression. Safety evaluation: Evaluate adverse reactions according to CTCAE 4.0; Follow up: 12 months after the last case was enrolled.

This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the individual oncogenomics of each patient.

Goals The primary goal of this phase II trial is to: evaluate the response rate of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic BTC as first-line therapy Secondary goals are to:evaluate the treatment-related toxicities of this combination, investigate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in this population Design The proposed clinical trial is an open label, non-comparative, multicenter phase II trial according to the two stage testing design by Simon.22

This is a randomized, open-label, active-control, multi-center, phase IIb/III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib vs. Capecitabine as a second-line therapy in patients with unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC). About 298 subjects are randomly assigned to two study treatment groups in the ratio of 1:1 by Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). Active group: 300 mg of surufatinib，once a day for 3 weeks as a cycle; Control group: In each 3-week cycle, Capecitabine is given at 1250 mg/m2 by oral administration twice a day for 2 weeks, followed by 1 week rest period (equivalent to 2500 mg/m2 total daily dose). All patients will be treated based on the arm to which they have been randomized. Treatment on study will continue until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity or other criteria for discontinuation from study treatment. The tumor assessments are performed with imaging every 6 weeks (+3 days) until progressive disease (RECIST v1.1) or death on the study treatment period, and the treatment and survival of the patients after progressive disease are recorded. Safety indicators include adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, and changes in electrocardiograms and echocardiograms.
