Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer) Clinical Trials

Cholangiocarcinoma clinical trials focus on newly discovered treatments, allowing participants to start benefiting from those treatments as quickly as possible while researchers compare their effectiveness to the current standard of care. If one of these important research studies shows that a new treatment is more effective, or equally effective but associated with fewer side effects, than the currently available options, the new treatment may become the standard of care for bile duct cancer. In this way, cholangiocarcinoma clinical trials can advance treatment options – and provide a source of hope – for all current and future patients who are diagnosed with this relatively rare form of cancer.

Through cholangiocarcinoma clinical trials, patients have opportunities to access promising new therapies, such as:

• New surgical techniques
• New chemotherapy drugs and drug combinations
• Anti-angiogenesis therapies
• Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors
• Photodynamic therapy (PDT)
• Molecular therapy
• Immunotherapy
• Hyperthermia therapy
• Radiosensitizers
• Gene profiling
