Show all 24Show fewer
  • Participants with HBV infection (as characterised by positive HBsAg and/or anti-HBcAb with detectable HBV DNA, as per local laboratory standards) must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional practice, to ensure adequate viral suppression (as per local laboratory standards) prior to enrolment. Participants must remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study intervention. Participants who test positive for anti-HBc with undetectable HBV DNA (as per local laboratory standards) do not require antiviral therapy prior to enrolment. These participants will be tested at every cycle to monitor HBV DNA levels and initiate antiviral therapy if HBV DNA is detected (as per local laboratory standards). HBV DNA detectable participants must initiate and remain on antiviral therapy for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of study intervention.
  • Adequate organ and marrow function, as defined below.
  • Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L
  • Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L
  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × ULN; this will not apply to participants with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome. Any clinically significant biliary obstruction should be resolved before enrolment.
  • ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN. For participants with hepatic metastases, ALT and AST ≤ 5 × ULN.
  • Calculated creatinine clearance > 50 mL/minute as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight) or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance. For chemotherapy regimens including carboplatin, oxaliplatin, or gemcitabine as monotherapy, the recommended threshold for calculated creatinine clearance is > 40 mL/minute as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight) or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance.
  • Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Body weight of > 30 kg.
  • Male or female.
  • Negative pregnancy test (serum) for women of childbearing potential.
  • Female participants must be one year post-menopausal (amenorrhoeic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause), surgically sterile, or using one highly effective form of birth control (a highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly). Women of childbearing potential must agree to use one highly effective method of birth control (see Appendix H for a complete list of highly effective birth control methods). They should have been stable on their chosen method of birth control from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the study and the drug washout period (90 days after the last dose of study intervention with durvalumab or 180 days after the last dose of durvalumab and gemcitabine-based therapy).
  • Non-sterilised male partners of a woman of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide (condom alone in countries where spermicides are not approved) throughout this period. Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, as well as the rhythm and withdrawal methods are not acceptable methods of birth control.
  • Male participants who intend to be sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile or using an acceptable method of contraception (see Appendix H) from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the study and the drug washout period (90 days after the last dose of study intervention with durvalumab or 180 days after the last dose of durvalumab and gemcitabine-based therapy) to prevent pregnancy in a partner. Male participants must not donate or bank sperm during this same time period.
  • Female partners (of childbearing potential) of male participants must also use a highly effective method of contraception throughout this period.
  • Participant is capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix A, Section A3 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.
  • Written informed consent from the participant has been obtained prior to any study-related procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing durvalumab in people with Biliary Tract Cancers, run by AstraZeneca at 19 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 35 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of Possible related adverse events(PRAE) Grade 3 or 4 (time frame: Within 6 months after the initiation of study intervention.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05924880.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Apr 2025.
