Active clinical trials for "Cholangiocarcinoma"

With the development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.In patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, cytological brushing performed concurrently with ERCP had a lower pathologically positive rate and increased the times of ERCPs, increased the risk of postoperative complications at the same time.The present study aims to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Spyglass+RFA Versus Cytobrush+RFA for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

The incidence rate and mortality rate of periampullary cancer at home and abroad both show an increasing trend, seriously affecting the health level of the people. Pancrecoduodenectomy (PD) is the only effective treatment for periampullary cancer. However, due to the complex technology and difficulty of PD surgery, laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is more difficult, and the postoperative mortality can reach 5%. The important reason is the most serious complication- -pancreatic fistula. The occurrence of pancreatic fistula is related to many factors, and the most critical factor is the method and technology of pancreatico-intestinal anastomosis, so the improvement and innovation of pancreaticoco-intestinal anastomosis technology has always been a hot topic in surgical clinical research. Blumgart Pancreatic anastomosis was originally created by Professor L.H.Blumgart in the United States, and was widely used in OPD due to its low incidence of pancreatic fistula. However, the traditional Blumgart anastomosis is complicated and is not suitable for application in LPD. According to our own experience, our team simplified and improved the traditional Blumgart anastomosis to OPD, and through retrospective study, it has the advantages of reducing the incidence of pancreatic fistula. However, the application value in LPD still needs to be further discussed. Therefore, this study intends to use a prospective randomized controlled trial, using the LPD patients with traditional Blumgart pancreatecointestinal anastomosis as the control group, and the LPD patients with modified Blumgart pancreatecointestinal anastomosis as the test group, compare the clinical relevant indicators and the incidence of postoperative complications, and explore whether the application value in LPD can truly simplify the surgical procedure and ensure the lower incidence of pancreatic leakage.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical use of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET (positron emission tomography)/CT (computed tomography) imaging in patients with pancreatic or bile duct cancer. The study consists of three parts and patients can only participate in one part of the study. The main questions the study aims to answer are: In part A: What is the best timing and scanprotocol of a [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan? In part B: Are the results of the simplified scan protocol repeatable? In part C: What is the accuracy of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT to detect pancreatic cancer and is it able to detect the effect of chemotherapy on pancreatic cancer lesions? Participants in this study will be asked to undergo the following: In part A: participants will undergo 1 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan and will have 2 venous canullas and 1 arterial cannula placed. In part B: participants will undergo 2 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scans and will have a venous cannula placed for each scan. In part C: participants will undergo 2 [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scans and will have a venous cannula placed for each scan.

Prospective, multi-center, open label, non-randomized clinical trial to assess efficacy of [18F]FAPI-74 to detect FAP expressing cells in patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gastric, pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The [18F]FAPI-74 PET scan will be acquired in patients with proven GI cancers after initial staging using institutional standard methods. The PET scan results will be compared to FAP immunohistochemistry (as the primary objective) and histopathology (as the secondary objective) of the biopsied or resected tissues.

The purpose of the study is to observe the effect of PD-1 Antibody（Tislelizumab） Combined With Capecitabine as Adjuvant Therapy to Prevent the Recurrence in High-risk Patients With Cholangiocarcinoma After Curative Resection.

This is an open-label,single center,non-randomized,single arm exploratory study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 antibody plus GEMOX as postoperative adjuvant therapy in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma with positively metastatic lymph nodes.

Diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is an increasingly common form of primary liver cancer, but patients with this diagnosis are not currently eligible for LT. This study proposes to offer LT as an option to patients with advanced, unresectable iCCA who demonstrate at least 6 months of disease stability /regression while receiving standard chemotherapy. Patients will be referred and screened for study participation if they have achieved 6 months of disease stability. They will be worked up for transplant and if eligible, will be listed. Disease must remain controlled while awaiting transplantation. After transplantation, patients will be followed for disease recurrence and overall survival, while receiving standard post-transplantation followup.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate an exercise program for individuals with hepatobiliary cancer planning for surgery.

A multicentre, parallel group, open label, randomized controlled trial comparing endobiliary RFA prior to metal stent placement with stent placement only in patients with inoperable perihilar 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..
