Phase 1 & 2
Recruiting
Led By Jonathan M Hernandez, M.D.
Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Age >=18 years.
Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed biliary tract cancer (BTC) (cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer). Archival tumor sample may be used but if archival tissue is not available or is not adequate, tissue biopsy will be required.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up every 8 weeks (phase i only)

Study Summary
This trial will test if the cancer drug tivozanib can safely and effectively treat cholangiocarcinoma.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with inoperable biliary tract cancer (BTC), including cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer, who have already tried at least one chemotherapy. They must be able to perform daily activities to a certain extent and have adequate organ function. Women of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of Tivozanib, an oral medication taken once daily for three weeks per cycle, with each cycle lasting four weeks. The goal is to determine the best dose that can manage BTC without causing severe side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure which participants will monitor at home twice daily. Other risks may involve harm to organs like the liver or heart based on Tivozanib's mechanism of action seen in animal studies.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Phase I: Determine safety and establish the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of tivozanib in patients with cholangiocarcinoma who were previously treated with first-line chemotherapy.
Phase II: Determine the overall response rate by RECIST of tivozanib in patients with cholangiocarcinoma who were previously treated with first-line therapy.
Secondary outcome measures
Evaluate disease control response (DCR- complete response [CR] plus partial response [PR] plus stable disease [SD]) in patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated with tivozanib
Evaluate overall survival (OS) in patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated with tivozanib
