Gemcitabine With Peptide Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Bile Duct Cancer

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of different doses of URLC10 peptide emulsified with Montanide ISA51 in combination with gemcitabine. Recommended phase II dose will be also determined.
