Shellie…..I don’t recall you mentioning, but molecular testing had to show a tumor with a FGFR genetic alteration.
Patty’s study: A Phase II, Single Arm Study of BGJ398 in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma is not open for accrual. In fact, it has discontinued. Current patients on this study will complete the trial.
https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02150967Novartis is conducting another study for solid tumors (not specifically advanced cholangiocarcinoma) but with same FGFR alteration:

Hello! My name is Patty Corcoran, and I am 51 years old. In late February 2011, I was diagnosed with intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Since then, I have received numerous chemotherapy medications, undergone three rounds of radiation, and even had a 15 month break from all treatment because I was doing so well.
I have participated in two clinical trials, including the one I am on currently. In March 2015, I enrolled in a Phase II trial for the Novartis BGJ398 at MD Anderson. I experienced few ill effects, aside from diet restrictions and losing a few toenails, and the drug kept my cancer stable for about eight months.
