Active clinical trials for "Biliary Tract Neoplasms"

Pemetrexed in combination with erlotinib as a salvage treatment in patients with metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC) who failed gemcitabine containing chemotherapy

This study is to evaluate the response rate and toxicity profile of infusional 5 fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFIRINOX) in first-line treatment of advanced biliary tract cancers and also to assess progression free survival and overall survival of FOLFIRINOX in first line treatment of advanced biliary tract cancers

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive cancer of the bile ducts. People with CCA have few treatment options and poor survival. Researchers want to see if a new drug can stop or slow CCA growth. Objective: To find the safest and most effective dose of tivozanib to treat CCA and learn its overall response rate. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with CCA not removable with surgery and have been treated with at least one type of chemotherapy. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Medical history Physical exam Assessment of their ability to do daily activities Medicine review Blood tests, including thyroid function tests Urine tests Electrocardiogram, to check heart function Pregnancy test, if needed Tumor biopsy, if needed Computed tomography scans Magnetic resonance imaging, if needed Some screening tests may be repeated during the study. Participants will be asked to enroll in protocol #13C0176. This will allow any remaining tumor or blood samples to be used in future research. Participants will take tivozanib by mouth, once a day for 21 days per cycle or every other day per cycle. Each cycle is 28 days. They can take the drug until they have bad side effects, their CCA gets worse, or if they become pregnant. They will record their blood pressure twice daily at home. They will also keep a medication diary of each dose of tivozanib they take and any side effects. Participants will have study visits before starting each new cycle and every 8 weeks. They will also have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends at NIH, or if they are unable to come to NIH by phone, videocall, or other NIH-approved platform. Then they will be contacted 6 and 12 months later, and then once a year.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of CPI-613 (devimistat) in the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer when used in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) compared to gemcitabine plus cisplatin alone. This research study has two parts: In the phase 1 portion of this study, patients will receive a combination of CPI-613 and standard of care chemotherapy. Dose levels of CPI-613 will be adjusted to find the best dose, which will be the recommended phase 2 dose level. In the phase 2 portion of this study, patients will be randomized into two arms. Patients in Arm A will receive the combination of the recommended dose level of CPI-613 and standard of care chemotherapy. Patients in Arm B will receive standard of care chemotherapy. At the end of the study, researchers will compare the health outcomes of the patients that received CPI-613 + standard care to the outcomes of patients that received only standard care.

This study is a Phase 1b/2 multi-center study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics of CTX-009 (ABL001) in combination with Irinotecan or Paclitaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

This open-label, First-into-Human (FIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and early efficacy of AVA6000, a FAP-activated pro-drug of doxorubicin, in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumours. In Phase Ia, using a 3+3 design, escalating doses of AVA6000 will be administered to patients with a range of solid tumour types to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). In Phase 1b, the selected RP2D dose will be assessed in one to three tumour types.

The four tumour streams that will be studied in this protocol are based on immunotherapy sensitive rare cancers from CA209-538 which will be further investigated under this protocol and divided into four groups: Neuroendocrine cancers: Atypical bronchial carcinoid, neuroendocrine carcinoma and Grade 3 NETs independent of primary site (SCLC excluded) Biliary tract cancers: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma Gynaecological malignancies: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma, uterine clear cell carcinoma, uterine/ovarian carcinosarcoma, uterine leiomyosarcoma and vaginal/vulva squamous cell carcinoma Mismatch repair protein deficient (MSI-H) cancers (excluding colorectal carcinoma). The role of immunotherapy is being defined in more common cancer types, however because of their rarity, the efficacy of immunotherapy for these cancers is poorly defined. This protocol provides an important opportunity to establish whether the combination of nivolumab & ipilimumab has efficacy in these cancers.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of MRG003 as single agent in EGFR-positive unresectable locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer patients who have progressed during or relapsed after at least one prior standard therapy.

A study to assess the safety and efficacy of durvalumab in combination with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimens in participants with aBTC.

This is a study to evaluate the clinical activity of the combination of fluorouracil, leucovorin, and nanoliposomal irinotecan as second-line treatment in patients with advanced biliary tract cancers following gemcitabine and platinum chemotherapy.
