Active clinical trials for "Biliary Tract Neoplasms"

This is a Phase II trial of the combination of oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) and capecitabine (Xeloda), known as XELOX, in participants with unresectable or recurrent cholangiocarcinoma, including carcinoma of the gallbladder or biliary tract, both intrahepatic and extrahepatic. Participants may be either previously untreated or treated with chemotherapy. Participants will accrue to two strata based on pre-treatment status; separate response rates and statistical operating characteristics will be applied to each stratum. The primary objective is to determine the objective response rate (complete plus partial) of XELOX in this population. Secondary objectives include determining toxicity, stable disease rates, and median and overall survival of participants treated with this combination.

In the United States, the incidence of biliary tract cancer and gallbladder cancer has been estimated to be 6,000-8,000 patients per year. Currently, there is no standard therapy for these tumors once the disease has spread and is inoperable. Recent small studies with gemcitabine have shown a positive response rate. The investigators plan to test the combination of gemcitabine with cisplatin for biliary tract and gallbladder cancers.

Advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma has a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options. Nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 chemotherapy will be given to untreated patients with advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma for the first-line treatment.

This phase II trial studies how well trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 (TAS-102) works in treating participants with biliary tract cancers that have spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

This protocol for Varlitinib is developed for the treatment of Biliary Tract Cancer. Varlitinib (also known as ASLAN001) is a small-molecule, adenosine triphosphate competitive inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases - epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2, and HER4. Varlitinib may be beneficial to subjects with cancer by simultaneous inhibition of these receptors. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Varlitinib in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of Biliary Tract Cancer. Eligible patients will receive Varlitinib plus capecitabine.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab with bevacizumab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine(CisGem), compared with atezolizumab in combination with CisGem, in participants with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) who have not received prior systemic therapy. Treatment will consist of a chemotherapy combination phase followed by a cancer immunotherapy (CIT)/placebo phase.

This is a single center, nonrandom, open-label study aiming to evluate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib for patients with pretreated advanced biliary tract cancer.

To study the expression pattern of Integrin alpha 2b (ITGA2b) and Selectin P (SELP) genes of Tumor educated platelets in pancreatic and biliary tree cancer and its diagnostic value. To investigate correlation between expression levels of ITGA2b and SELP genes and stages of pancreatic and biliary tree cancer. To investigate correlation between expression levels of ITGA2b, SELP genes, CA 19-9 and CEA in pancreatic and biliary tree cancer patients.

eligible subjects will receive treatment beginning on Day 1 of each 3-week dosing cycle for pembrolizumab. Treatment with pembrolizumab will continue until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse event(s),intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, Investigator's decision to withdraw the subject, subject withdraws consent, pregnancy of the subject, noncompliance with trial treatment or procedure requirements, subject receives 24 months of pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment.

The objective of this study is to establish the recommended dose of selumetinib, a novel MEK inhibitor for use in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin.
