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.
Read MoreTo 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 MoreThis 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.
Read MoreNUC-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
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 MoreThis study contains 2 potential treatment arms and all participants will receive what is considered standard of care for your disease; up to 8 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin. Half of the participants will receive in addition the experimental treatment (including the drug Amphinex).
Read MoreThis is a study of pembrolizumab plus gemcitabine/cisplatin vs. placebo plus gemcitabine/cisplatin as first-line therapy in people with advanced and/or unresectable BTC.
Read MoreA Phase 2 Study of Pembrolizumab, a Monoclonal Antibody Against PD-1, in Combination With Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin (CAPOX) in Subjects With Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma (BTC)
Read MoreThis is a Phase III Study of Durvalumab (Immunotherapy) in Combination With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin Versus Placebo in Combination With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin for Patients With First-Line Advanced Biliary Tract Cancers. Chemotherapy (Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin) is the standard of care for advanced biliary tract cancer.
Read MoreAll patients on this study receive the chemotherapy combination of 5-FU, leucovorin and nanoliposomal irinotecan which has shown efficacy in pancreatic cancer (and is FDA approved). In addition, this trial adds immunotherapy (nivolumab) to this chemotherapy regimen to leverage the synergism of chemo-immunotherapy.
