Active clinical trials for "Cholangiocarcinoma"

The study will investigate whether liver transplantation provides increased survival, low side effects and good quality of life in patients with bile duct cancer where the tumor cannot be removed by normal surgery. Analyzes of blood and tissue samples from the tumor will be investigated to see if the analyzes can indicate who may have recurrence of the disease after liver transplantation. Furthermore, the effect of chemotherapy on normal liver and tumor tissues in the liver that are removed during transplantation will be investigated..

PLATON (Platform for Analyzing Targetable Mutations) is a prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study with biobanking. In a first approach PLATON's pilot-study assesses genomic profiling in gastrointestinal cancer therapy and the frequencies of targetable mutations including Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability Status (MSI), performing Next-generation deep sequencing (NGS) using the Foundation Medicine assays on tumor specimen and EDTA-whole blood samples. The Study Protocol does not define any further medical intervention or evaluate the efficacy or safety of the treatment decision made by the investigator. Another important objective of PLATON's pilot project is to evaluate whether and how many patients are treated based on their genomic profiles.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the effects of administering proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) following pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative outcomes. The findings of this study will help in avoiding the widespread use of PPIs during the immediate postoperative period following pancreatic surgery.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate objective response rate (ORR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 of erdafitinib in a molecularly-defined subset of Asian participants with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), urothelial cancer, esophageal cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.

This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.

This study will evaluate two groups of patients who have intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Each group will receive induction treatment with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine per SOC for 4 treatment cycles. Following induction treatment patients will be randomize (1:1), to 2 arms of treatment. One group (50%) will be receive high dose chemotherapy delivered specifically to the liver, while the other group (50%) will continue treatment with Cisplatin and Gemcitabine. Patient in each group will get repeating cycles of treatment until the cancer advances. All patients will be followed until death. This study will compare the overall survival (OS) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

A prospective, open-label, randomised, multicentre, comparative study in two parallel groups comparing an interventional group with liver transplantation preceded by neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy and a control group receiving conventional liver and bile duct resection. The primary endpoint will be overall survival at 5 years in the intent-to-treat population. The secondary endpoint will be recurrence-free survival at 3 years evaluated by CT-scan and tumoral markers (Carcinoembryonic antigen (CAE) and cancer antigen (CA19.9)) in the intent-to-treat population. The number of subjects necessary is 54 patients (27 x 2): this population will enable the demonstration of a significant difference is 5-year survival rates between the transplanted group and the resected group with a power of 80% and a first-species risk of 5%, under the hypothesis that these survival rates are 70% in the transplanted group and 30% in the resected group.

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the objective response rate (ORR) of E7090 by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 based on independent imaging review (IIR) in participants with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 gene fusion who failed gemcitabine-based combination chemotherapy.

This phase II trial studies how well infigratinib works in treating solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic) in patients with FGFR gene mutations such as FGFR1-3 gene fusions or other FGFR genetic alterations. Mutations are any changes in the genetic material (DNA) of a cell. FGFR proteins are involved in cell division, cell maturation, formation of new blood vessels, wound healing, and bone growth, development, and maintenance. FGFR mutations can cause the FGFR protein to become over-active in diseases such as cancer. Infigratinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking FGFR proteins in these tumors.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine and cisplatin when given together with ivosidenib or pemigatinib in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Ivosidenib and pemigatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine and cisplatin with ivosidenib or pemigatinib may work better in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma compared to gemcitabine and cisplatin alone.
