What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part A: Incidence, duration, and severity of adverse events (AEs)

    As assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 (or the most current version).

    Measured: Up to 30 days from study discontinuation

  2. Part B: PFS by BICR

    Progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR: PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression as assessed by BICR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, or date of death due to any cause, whichever is earlier.

    Measured: From first study drug administration until the date of first documented progression assessed by BICR or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Part A: ORR by Investigator

    ORR:objective response rate (ORR), the proportion of subjects who achieved a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) based on RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 9 months.

  2. Part A: DOR by Investigator

    Duration of response for CR or PR based on RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 9 months.

  3. Part B:Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death of any cause.

    Measured: From first study drug administration until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months.

  4. Part B: Objective Response Rate (ORR) by BICR and by Investigator:

    The proportion of subjects who achieved a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) based on RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 9 months.

  5. Part B: Duration of Response (DOR) by BICR and by Investigator

    Duration of response for CR or PR based on RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 9 months.

  6. Part B: PFS by Investigators per RECIST v1.1.

    PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression as assessed by BICR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

    Measured: From first study drug administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tinengotinib 8 mg, Tinengotinib 10 mg and Physician's Choice in people with Cholangiocarcinoma, run by TransThera Sciences (Nanjing), Inc. at 87 sites in 13 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 87 sites in United States, Italy, Spain, South Korea, France and 8 more countries. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Part A: Incidence, duration, and severity of adverse events (AEs) (time frame: Up to 30 days from study discontinuation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
