Clinical Trials Benjamin Tan, MD is currently running
Combination Chemotherapy
for Biliary Tract Cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of three drugs for patients with advanced biliary tract cancers who did not respond well to their first treatment. The drugs work together to damage the cancer cells' DNA and stop them from growing. The goal is to find a better second-line treatment for these patients. Previous tests with similar drugs did not show improvement.

Cabozantinib
for Neuroendocrine Cancer
High grade neuroendocrine neoplasm patients are treated with platinum doublets such as carboplatin and etoposide mimicking the current guidelines for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Unfortunately, recurrences are common and most patients with metastatic disease succumb to it within a year. There is no extensive literature or consensus on second- or third-line options (which include FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, capecitabine and temozolomide, taxanes or immunotherapy) and there is urgent need for better regimens.
