Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer or Bile Duct Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Adenocarcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile Duct, Adenocarcinoma of the Gallbladder, Malignant Neoplasm, Recurrent Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer, Recurrent Gallbladder Cancer, Unresectable Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer, Unresectable Gallbladder Cancer

In brief

This phase II trial is studying how well trastuzumab works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic gallbladder cancer or bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them
