Clinical trials Print Below are current clinical trials.7 studies in Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Circulating Tumor Cells in Patients with Cholangiocarcinoma Rochester, Minn. The overall goal of this research is to measure the circulating tumor cell in the peripheral blood and investigate the association between circulating tumor cell level and tumor characteristics and prognosis. Efficacy and Safety of INCB054828 in Subjects With Advanced/Metastatic or Surgically Unresectable Cholangiocarcinoma Who Failed Previous Therapy Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy of INCB054828 in subjects with advanced/metastatic or surgically unresectable cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 translocation who have failed at least 1 previous treatment. Study of CX-4945 in Combination with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin for Frontline Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn. This study considers the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of CX-4945 in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), followed by a randomized study that compares antitumor activity in cholangiocarcinoma patients receiving the standard of care gemcitabine plus cisplatin versus CX-4945 at the combination MTD with gemcitabine plus cisplatin. A Study to Better Understand Carcinogenetic Progression in Cholangiocarcinoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of the carcinogenetic progression in cholangiocarcinoma and also to develop more accurate diagnostic tests. A Study of BBI608 in Combination With Standard Chemotherapies in Adult Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. This is an open label, multi-center, Phase Ib dose escalation study of BBI608 administered in combination with either FOLFOX6 with and without bevacizumab, or CAPOX, or FOLFIRI with and without bevacizumab, or regorafenib. A study cycle will consist of daily and continuous oral administration of BBI608 for four weeks (28 days) in combination with FOLFOX6 with and without bevacizumab, or CAPOX or FOLFIRI with and without bevacizumab, or regorafenib. Tissue and Blood Registry for Individuals with Liver and Biliary Tumors Jacksonville, Fla. This study will collect and store samples of tissue and blood for current and future research studies on Liver and Biliary Tumors. Ponatinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Biliary Cancer With FGFR2 Fusions Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. This pilot phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with biliary cancer that has spread to other places in the body and that have alterations (fusions) in a gene known as fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
