Testing 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.

NUC-1031, a new type of chemotherapy drug (called a ProTide) kills cancer cells by preventing DNA replication, similar to gemcitabine. There are several cancer resistance mechanisms known to limit the effectiveness of gemcitabine. NUC-1031 has been specifically designed to overcome these.
Patients will be randomised into NUC-1031 arm or SOC arm
TELE_ABC Telotristat Ethyl for Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer. A phase 2, multicenter, open-label safety and efficacy study of Xermelo® plus first-line chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, recurrent or metastatic BTC
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
Read MorePCI Treatment/Gemcitabine & Chemotherapy vs Chemotherapy Alone in Patients With Inoperable Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer ( RELEASE )
This study contains of 2 potential treatment arms, one including the experimental drug (Amphinex) and in addition to up to 8 cycles of; gemcitabine and cisplatin, the other arm includes only the gemcitabine and cisplatin. Even if you will not receive the experimental treatment you will receive what is considered standard of care for your disease.

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.
