Combined Therapy Using D-TACE, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin, and PD1 Antibody in Advanced and Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the combined therapy using drug-eluting bead-transarterial chemoembolization (D-TACE), gemcitabine (Gem) and cisplatin (Cis) chemotherapy, and PD-1 antibody in patients with advanced and unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Whether combined therapy using D-TACE, Gem/Cis, and PD-1 works well to convert unresectable ICC to resectable.
• Whether combined therapy using D-TACE, Gem/Cis, and PD-1 is safe. Participants will receive D-TACE (CalliSpheres with Gem 30 mg), camrelizumab (200 mg) plus gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and cisplatin (25 mg/m2), and 24 months follow-up.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 18 years old, male or female;
2. Histopathologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma;
3. Tumor is unresectable assessed by the expert group (R0 resection CANNOT be achieved) and the life expectancy is more than 3 months;
4. Presence of at least one measurable lesion assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST version 1.1);
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
6. Child-Pugh score ≤ 7;
7. Adequate organ function (neutrophil count of ≥1.5×10^9 cells/L, hemoglobin concentrations of ≥90 g/L, platelet cell count of ≥100×10^9 cells/L, bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5×ULN, serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ 1 x ULN;
8. The patient must be required to sign an informed consent form;

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who have received previous treatment with interventional therapy, radiotherapy, ablation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy (PD-1, PD-L1, CLTA-4 antibody, etc), or surgery within the last 2 months;
2. Patients with other malignant tumors within the last 5 years, except for cured non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, and papillary thyroid carcinoma;

4. Active infection requiring systemic therapy;
5. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive;
6. Have an active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects who require only hormone replacement therapy for hypothyroidism and skin diseases that do not require systemic therapy may be enrolled;

9. Pregnant or lactating women;
10. Participated in other trials within the last 4 weeks;
11. Has a history of allergy to platinum;
12. Other factors that may influence the safety of the subject or the compliance of the test by the investigator. Serious illnesses (including mental illness), severe laboratory tests, or other family or social factors that require combined treatment.
