A Phase 1 Dose-escalation Study of FF-10832 for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors
FF-10832 encapsulates gemcitabine in a liposome, which is believed to improve the delivery of the medicine to the tumor. The current part of this study is evaluating FF-10832 in patients with biliary tract cancer (cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer) that has either spread to other parts of the body or can’t be removed completely with surgery.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of zanidatamab in combination with standard first line chemotherapy regimens in gastrointestinal cancers, including biliary tract cancer (BTC) such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer.
Read MoreTesting the Combination of Pevonedistat With Chemotherapy for Bile Duct Cancer of the Liver
This phase II trial studies how well the drug pevonedistat—when given alone or in combination with chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin)—works in treating patients with bile duct cancer of the liver. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Eligible patients with signed informed consent receive Telotristat Ethyl 250 mg (1 tab) 3 times daily for the 1st 7 days and then 500 mg (2 tabs) 3 times a day thereafter. Patients will also receive chemotherapy (Gemcitabine & Cisplatin) intravenously on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle, until end of study, progression, or consent withdrawal

The study drug, varlitinib, is an investigational anti-tumor product, delivered in the form of tablets. The study drug has been administered as a single and combination treatment to patients with metastatic gastric cancer, gastro-esophageal tumors, breast cancer, and biliary tract cancer (BTC). Laboratory studies and animal research suggest that the study drug stops cancer cells from growing by affecting different kinds of proteins in cancer cells. In particular, laboratory studies suggest that the study drug may be effective in targeting and inhibiting (preventing) the pathways of certain proteins in cells called “HER” (human epidermal growth factor receptor). The “HER” protein is important in types of cancer such as cholangiocarcinoma (BTC), gastric cancer, breast cancer, and others. Varlitinib has shown activity in BTC. In this study, patients will receive study drug plus capecitabine, or placebo plus capecitabine. Inclusion allows all forms of BTC and there is no biomarker-based patient selection.
