Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with advanced biliary tract cancer who cannot undergo surgery and have not received prior systemic anti-tumor therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage biliary tract cancer or those who have previously received systemic anti-tumor therapy may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase II trial investigates the effectiveness of a combination treatment involving surufatinib, gemcitabine, cisplatin, and either durvalumab or pembrolizumab for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. The study aims to determine if adding surufatinib to the established regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin, which has shown survival benefits in previous studies, can provide additional advantages. Participants must have measurable lesions and meet specific health criteria to be eligible for the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve survival rates and outcomes for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that the combination of durvalumab with gemcitabine and cisplatin can provide survival benefits, making this approach promising yet exploratory with the addition of surufatinib.

14. Voluntarily enrolled in the group and signed informed consent, followed the experimental treatment plan and visit plan, and could cooperate to observe adverse events and efficacy.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Join another clinical study at the same time, unless it is during the follow-up period of an observational (non-interventional) or supportive care clinical study or interventional study.
