As recipients of the Canadian Cancer Society 2023 Breakthrough Team Grant, the Canadian Cholangiocarcinoma Collaborative (C3) was formed to increase hope in patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma.

The C3 plans to do this by enhancing access to clinical trials and personalized treatments, while simultaneously building a high-quality immunotherapy pipeline for therapeutic discovery.

We will establish clinical and manufacturing infrastructure to provide access to tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) immunotherapy for Canadian's diagnosed with Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC).

Comprehensive research will be integrated into clinical care at the earliest time possible in a patient's cancer treatment. In collaboration with hospitals, universities, and institutes across Canada, the C3 is comprised of patients, caregivers, oncologists, and researchers.
