Protocol Title

Australian Comprehensive Molecular Evaluation of Advanced Biliary Cancer (ACME ABC) Trial

Purpose of the Study

Biliary cancer (BC) remains a rare but important cause of cancer related mortality. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment; however, the majority of patients present with advanced biliary cancer (ABC) are not surgical candidates. Instead, these patients are offered palliative chemotherapy. The median survival of patients with ABC is between 1-2 years.

The ACME ABC study will review the feasibility and potential benefit of instituting routine comprehensive molecular profiling of patients with ABC using either fresh, frozen or archival tissue obtained at the time of routine diagnostic tests.
