Novel Subtypes and Treatment Strategies of Patients with Unresectable Combined Hepatocellular Cholangiocarcinoma Based on Multimodal Data
China198 participantsStarted 2024-12-31
Plain-language summary
This study focused on exploring new comprehensive treatment strategies for patients with unresectable combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, classifying patients with CHC subtypes based on the combination of artificial intelligence and multi-omics, and exploring the optimal treatment strategies for patients with different subtypes, helping clinicians to screen the most beneficial groups of various treatment schemes, and providing new ideas for safe treatment of high-risk patients.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. history of other malignant tumors within the past five years, unless these tumors have been completely treated and have been free of active disease for five years prior to the first dose and are at low risk of recurrence.
. fully treated carcinoma in situ with no evidence of disease.
. history of gastrointestinal bleeding or significant bleeding tendency (e.g., with known active ulcers, fecal occult blood, etc.) within the past six months that precludes inclusion in the study; gastroscopy is required if there is persistent fecal occult blood.
. substantial organ transplantation or bone marrow transplantation within two years prior to the first dose, or active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy.
. other conditions that the investigator deems unsuitable for inclusion in the study. Inadequate information, such as incomplete data from laboratory tests, missing or poor quality imaging data, no prognostic information, etc., that the investigator considers unsuitable for inclusion in the study.
