Clinical Trials Thatcher R. Heumann is currently running
Pre- and Post-Surgery Chemotherapy
for Gallbladder Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III gallbladder cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the extent of surgery. Additionally, it may make it easier for the surgeon to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissue. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. This study will determine whether giving chemotherapy before surgery increases the length of time before the cancer may return and whether it will increase a patient's life span compared to the usual approach.

Tinengotinib
for Bile Duct Cancer
This trial is testing an oral medication called Tinengotinib for patients with a specific type of bile duct cancer that has not responded to other treatments. The medication works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if Tinengotinib can slow down or stop the cancer in these patients.
