Study Summary

This trial is testing a treatment called sacituzumab govitecan for patients with a type of cancer called cholangiocarcinoma. This cancer can be locally advanced, recurrent, or

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced forms of bile duct cancer, including those whose cancer has spread locally, returned after treatment, or metastasized. Participants must have measurable disease and be able to undergo procedures like biopsies and scans.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Sacituzumab Govitecan's effectiveness on cholangiocarcinoma. It involves a monoclonal antibody targeting TROP2 receptors on tumor cells to deliver the toxic agent SN-38 directly to them.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Sacituzumab Govitecan may cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, fatigue, decreased blood cell counts leading to higher infection risk or bleeding problems.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (Sacituzumab govitecan)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive sacituzumab govitecan IV over 1-3 hours on days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo tumor biopsy, PET/CT or MRI scans, and blood sample collection throughout the study.
