Ongoing clinical trials were identified by searching ClinicalTrials.gov using the terms "Biliary Cancer," "cholangiocarcinoma," "biliary carcinoma," "bile duct," or "biliary tract" and manually curated for inclusion of an immunotherapy arm. Trials were included with status of "Recruiting," "Not yet recruiting," "Active, not recruiting," "Completed," or "Enrolling by invitation." Trials of general solid tumours were excluded unless a BTC arm or inclusion was specified. Search was updated as of 4/1/19. BTC, biliary tract cancer; GI, gastrointestinal; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; iCCA, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; MMR, mismatch repair; PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
