It seems they have current clinical trials in Europe open to intrahepatic CC patients: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02415036?term=NCT+02415036&rank=1
I have asked (email due to the holiday) if any will be opening up in the US for cholangio pts and am awaiting their response. I am hoping Kathy will be able to have her surgery and not require this but it would be interesting to see if the trials can replicate the claim of complete response from the Milan trial of this technique.
Billy….appears it’s used primarily outside of the US. I found this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27798773this is interesting: http://delcath.com/clinical-bibliography/
and their clinical trial: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02406508?term=NCT+02406508&rank=1Note: excludes metastatic patients.
I would call the company. It’s more likely they will respond to you being you are a physician. If not so, let me know and I will try to call with you. No guarantees, but sometimes it helps to include a research/patient advocates in these type of calls.

Marionhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24729409 Anyone hear of this? The Milan part of the study had one pt with cholangiocarcinoma that they claim had complete response to treatment. Its from 2014 though, so does anyone know if any follow up was done or if more cholangio patients were given this treatment since?
Happy new years to all also
