Recruiting PHASE2 Biliary Tract Cancer

Compares treatment options for Biliary Tract Cancer

Official title Testing Ivonescimab Versus FOLFOX in Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06529718

What this study is testing

What is Ivonescimab?

Ivonescimab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for biliary tract 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
The object of this trial is to test whether ivonescimab is superior to standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX regimen) for the treatment of patients with advanced biliary tract cancer after failure of a first line of chemotherapy. It is only open to patients who participated in the SAFIR-ABC10 trial (NCT05615818) but did not receive experimental treatment.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
