About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Cadonilimab Combined With Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in the First-line Treatment of Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Biliary Malignancies

The goal of this single-arm, Phase II interventional clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment using the Cadonilimab with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract malignancies. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is this combined treatment protocol safe for these patients?
  • Is this combined treatment protocol effective in treating these patients?

Participants will be given a combination treatment of Cadonilimab, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin. Researchers will monitor their health conditions to assess the safety and effectiveness of this treatment protocol.

Being tested
Candonilimab, Cisplatin, Gemcitabine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Candonilimab, Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in people with Cholangiocarcinoma Non-resectable, run by West China Hospital at 1 site 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 19 inclusion and 30 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tao Wang (17844623533, wangshoutao1219@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate(ORR) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 7 Aug 2023.
