Active clinical trials for "Biliary Tract Neoplasms"

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of KA2507 (an orally active potent and selective HDAC6 inhibitor) in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) previously treated with standard of care chemotherapy.

FOLFIRI as a salvage treatment in metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients who failed gemcitabine containing chemotherapy

An open label study to determine the efficacy and safety of SPARC1507

Randomized study comparing endoscopic stent insertion strategy versus double-bypass surgery in non-resectable periampullary cancer

Patients with biliopancreatic tumors are at risk for malnutrition and have to undergo many procedures for diagnostic workup that require fasting periods. In a prospective randomized monocentric study we evaluate the effect of additional parenteral nutrition on weight loss, nutritional status, quality of life and length of hospital stay.

This randomized pilot trial studies how well two supportive programs work for improving fatigue and depressive symptoms in patients with GI undergoing chemotherapy. Possible mediators such as psychological stress, circadian disruption, and inflammation, will also be explored.

Effect of Early management on PAin and DEpression in patients with PancreatoBiliary Cancer, EPADE-PB Purpose To determine whether early palliative care integrated with usual oncologic care with automated symptom monitoring can improve depression and pain in patients with cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and gemcitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Palliative chemotherapy may improve the quality of life in patients who have locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer and may help them live more comfortably. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of adjuvant capecitabine and gemcitabine in improving quality of life in patients who have locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer.

PACE-Mobil-PBL is a prospective randomized controlled trial. The aim is to investigate the effect of a multimodal and exercise-based intervention among older patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, biliary tract cancer, or lung cancer during treatment with first-line palliative chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy. The hypotheses: That the multimodal intervention will increase or maintain physical function levels and strength, reduce symptoms and side-effects, improve quality of life, reduce treatment-related complications and hospital admissions, and reduce risk of cancer cachexia and sarcopenia.

Registry participants with advanced malignancy or myelodysplasia will have a sample of their tumor or tissue analysed for genetic alterations using next generation sequencing (NGS) performed in a lab that has been certified to meet a high quality standard. Treatments and outcomes will be reported to the registry to allow further understanding of how genetic differences can lead to better diagnosis and treatments.
