Active clinical trials for "Cholangiocarcinoma"

We hypothesized that intra-arterial gemcitabine/oxaliplatin administered as second-line treatment could strongly improve objective response rate at 4 months after inclusion in patient with non-metastatic unresectable intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

The aim of this phase II study is to determine whether pemigatinib is clinically efficious after curative local therapy such as surgery/ SBRT or ablation in iCCA patients harboring FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement and to assess the safety profile to support the continuation of the concept in a large, randomized trial for further development.

Bile duct cancer is often diagnosed after curative options are no longer available. Stent therapy is used to keep the ducts open and can be combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to extend life expectancy. PDT requires an injection of photosensitizer after which light of a particular wavelength is applied endoscopically to kill the cancer cells. Drawbacks include not only high costs and poor availability, but foremost that patients have to avoid direct sunlight for a period of weeks. Radio frequency ablation (RFA) together with stent implantation constitutes an alternative by which the cancer cells are killed through heat, also applied endoscopically. The RFA technology is more widely available and easier to deploy. However, it has not been studied extensively and no randomized trials exist comparing the two methods. This trial will compare survival in patients with a particular bile duct cancer depending on whether they receive PDT or RFA. Moreover, data will be collected on side-effects and quality of life.

This prospective clinical trial aims to assess the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a personalized radiofrequency ablation protocol coupled with complete biliary drainage for patients presenting with inoperable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, including hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, of which intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma accounts for 10%-15%. Surgical resection is the only curative method for ICC, but most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and only 15% of patients can undergo surgical resection. In locally advanced ICC patients without distant metastases, although the tumor was initially assessed as unresectable, these patients may have the opportunity for surgical resection after reducing the size tumor lesion and increasing the remnant liver volume through conversion therapy. The current standard first-line treatment for unresectable ICC is gemcitabine combined with cisplatin, with a median overall survival of only 11.7 months and an ORR of 26.1%. In view of the poor effect of the standard chemotherapy regimen, the NCCN guidelines recommend that patients could participate in clinical study. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy can increase the local blood drug concentration and improve the tumor regression rate. By reducing the dose of systemic chemotherapy drugs concentration, the incidence of adverse reactions can be reduced. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy may be a better choice for locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. PD-1 immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy is expected to improve the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This study investigates the safety and efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with sintilimab and bevacizumabin the treatment of unresectable ICC.

TC-510 is a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing two synthetic constructs: first, a single-domain antibody that recognizes human Mesothelin, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex and second, a PD-1:CD28 switch receptor, which is expressed on the surface of the T cell, independently from the TCR. The PD-1:CD28 switch receptor comprises the PD-1 extracellular domain fused to the CD28 intracellular domain via a transmembrane domain. Thus, the switch is designed to produce a costimulatory signal upon engagement with PD-L1 on cancer cells.

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical study to preliminarily observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with TACE in the treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Study of NGM438 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This is a Phase Ib/II, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of TT-00420 tablet, as monotherapy or in combination regimens, in patients with advanced solid tumors (solid tumor, BTC and TNBC).

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib combined with cardanilimab in second-line treatment of patients with inoperable or metastatic bile duct adenocarcinoma
