Recruiting PHASE2 Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma

New treatment option for Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma

Official title CPI-613 (Devimistat) in Combination With Hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or Gemcitabine in Treating Patients With Advanced Chemorefractory Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05733000

What this study is testing

What is Devimistat?

Devimistat is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced biliary tract carcinoma.

Also referred to as Alpha-Lipoic Acid Analogue CPI-613, CPI 613.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This phase II trial tests how well CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine works in patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that have not responded to chemotherapy medications (chemorefractory). Metabolism is how the cells in the body use molecules (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from food to get the energy they need to grow, reproduce and stay healthy.
