Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Biliary Cancer

New treatment option for Biliary Cancer

Official title A Study of CDX-1140, a CD40 Agonist, in Combination With Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and Keytruda in Subjects With Biliary Tract Carcinoma (BTC)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05849480

What this study is testing

What is oxaliplatin?

oxaliplatin is an investigational medicine, given as a twice-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for biliary cancer.

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
Background: Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is cancer of the slender tubes that carry fluids in the liver. People with advanced BTC have few treatment options, and their survival rates are very low.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 2 years
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
