Active clinical trials for "Cholangiocarcinoma"

To assess the proposed therapy for patients with advanced gallbladder or biliary cancers.

The primary objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of VANDETANIB monotherapy or VANDETANIB plus GEMCITABINE or PLACEBO plus GEMCITABINE in prolonging the progression-free survival (PFS) at the trial closure in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) biliary tract cancer.

The purpose of this study is partly to continue the good experience the investigators have with chemotherapy and partly to optimize treatment of inoperable cholangiocarcinoma by adding a biological antibody to the treatment of patients with wild-type Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS).

This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable biliary tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab and erlotinib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.

This phase II trial is studying how well lapatinib works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract or liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Combining chemotherapy with interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy and interferon alfa followed by filgrastim in treating patients who have gastrointestinal tract cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin plus irinotecan in treating patients with previously treated metastatic gastrointestinal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

A Phase 1, Open-label, 4-Period, Randomized 6-Sequence Study to Evaluate the Effect of Food and Rabeprazole, a Proton Pump Inhibitor, on the Pharmacokinetics of HMPL-453 in Healthy Volunteers

The aim of the study is to establishing a standardized biobank and a clinical information database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary system. With follow-up plans and advanced multiomics technology, a multiomics database for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the biliary tract will be further established. Based on the above work, real-world clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract tumors is about to be carried out, and a high-standard cohort research foundation is laid for precision therapy based on multiomics characteristics and molecular typing of biliary tract tumors.

This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.
