ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, titled "Personalized Medicine for Advanced Biliary Cancer Patients," is investigating whether adding a targeted therapy after four cycles of standard treatment for advanced biliary cancer is more effective than continuing the standard treatment alone. The trial has two main parts: first, a screening phase where doctors will identify patients whose tumors have specific characteristics that can be targeted with new therapies. Then, in the randomized phase, patients whose disease is stable after the standard treatment will be randomly assigned to either receive the targeted therapy or continue with the standard treatment.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of certain types of advanced biliary cancer. They should also show stable disease after four cycles of the current treatment and have a specific genetic profile that allows for targeted therapy. Throughout the trial, participants will receive regular check-ups and monitoring to assess their health and response to the treatment. It's important to note that this trial is currently recruiting participants, and those interested should discuss with their healthcare provider to see if they qualify.
