This research trial studies Yttrium Y 90 resin microspheres in collecting data from patients with liver cancer not capable of being removed by surgery (unresectable) for the radiation-emitting SIR-spheres in non-resectable (RESIN) liver tumor study. The information generated will help doctors better understand treatment patterns involving Y90 therapy, gain additional insights in the long-term outcomes for patients, as well as guide future research for using Y90 therapy, especially for those conditions where data is currently very limited or lacking.

This open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effect on tumor growth following a single intralesional injection of PV-10 in subjects with either (a) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not amenable to resection, transplant or other potentially curative therapy or (b) cancer metastatic to the liver.

This pivotal, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib by Objective Response Rate (ORR) by central radiology review as per RECIST v1.1 in subjects with inoperable or advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) whose tumors harbor FGFR2 gene fusions (by FISH performed by the central laboratory) and who received at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy. Subjects will be dosed orally once per day at 300 mg of derazantinib capsules.

This phase III trial studies how well percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage works versus endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in treating participants with suspected cancerous (malignant) bile duct obstruction. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is a procedure that uses x-rays to guide a needle through the skin into the bile duct to allow for drainage of the blockage through external tubes. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is a procedure that combines the use of a lighted camera that goes down through the mouth and x-rays to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary ductal system, and permits drainage of the blockage through internal stents. It is not yet known whether percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is most effective in treating participants with suspected malignant bile duct obstruction.
