Evaluating HMPL-453 for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter Phase 2/3b Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of HMPL-453 Tartrate in Patients With Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Habouring FGFR2 Fusion/Rearrangement
Run by Hutchmed · NCT04353375 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new drug called HMPL-453 to see if it helps people with advanced bile duct cancer that has specific genetic changes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements who have experienced treatment failure or intolerable toxicity from prior systemic therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received selective FGFR targeting therapy or those with certain recent treatments or surgeries 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 clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of HMPL-453 tartrate in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that have FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements. Participants will receive HMPL-453 orally for 14 days followed by a 7-day break, in a 21-day treatment cycle. The study includes two cohorts: one for patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic disease after prior treatment failure, and another for safety assessments before extending to a larger group. The primary goal is to evaluate the objective response rate in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have limited treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on a specific genetic alteration, similar studies targeting FGFR pathways have shown promise in other cancers, indicating potential for success.
