Overview

This multicenter real-world study assesses the efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapies in postoperative intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients with high-risk recurrence factors.

90 eligible patients will be assigned to: Cohort 1: GP (gemcitabine/cisplatin) + adebrelimab Cohort 2: Apatinib + adebrelimab Cohort 3: S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) + adebrelimab Outcomes will be compared against historical real-world controls receiving standard chemotherapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed ICC within 12 weeks after curative resection
  • Any T stage; N0/N+; M0.
  • At least one high-risk factor:

Preoperative tumor penetration of the liver capsule or extrahepatic direct invasion; Preoperative imaging showing multifocal lesions or a single lesion \>5 cm; Vascular invasion (preoperative or postoperative pathology); Regional lymph node metastasis.

  • No prior systemic therapy for ICC.
  • ECOG performance status 0-2.
  • Expected survival ≥3 months.
  • Adequate organ function.
  • Agreement to use effective contraception (or surgical sterilization) during the study and for 120 days after the last dose.
  • Signed informed consent and anticipated good compliance with the study protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days prior to enrollment (excluding topical/inhaled corticosteroids or physiologic steroid doses ≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent).
  • Systemic anticancer herbs/immunomodulators (e.g., thymosin, interferons) within 4 weeks, except for pleural effusion control.
  • Uncontrolled cardiovascular disease:

Unstable angina/myocardial infarction Arrhythmias with QTc ≥450 ms (men) or ≥470 ms (women) NYHA Class III-IV heart failure or LVEF \<50%

  • Active infections (IV antibiotics/antivirals required) or fever \>38.5°C within 4 weeks; or major surgery within 3 weeks.
  • Active autoimmune/immunodeficiency diseases (e.g., hepatitis, pneumonitis, rheumatoid arthritis), except:

Hypothyroidism on stable hormone replacement Type 1 diabetes with controlled glucose Uncontrolled asthma requiring systemic bronchodilators (resolved childhood asthma allowed).

\- Active infections: HIV/AIDS

HBV (DNA ≥500 IU/mL) or HCV (RNA-positive) unless:

HBV DNA \<500 IU/mL + antiviral therapy ≥14 days

  • Prior/proposed organ transplantation (excluding corneal grafts).
  • Concurrent interventional trials or investigational drugs within 4 weeks without recovery to Grade ≤1 toxicity.
  • Hypersensitivity to study drug components.
  • Allogeneic transplant history/plans.
  • Uncontrolled psychiatric/substance abuse disorders.
  • Refractory hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg despite treatment).
  • Clinically significant bleeding/thromboembolism:

GI bleeding within 3 months Thrombotic events within 6 months (stroke, DVT/PE)

  • Coagulopathy (INR \>1.5, PT \>ULN+4s, aPTT \>1.5×ULN) or anticoagulant use.
  • Proteinuria ≥++ on dipstick or 24-h urine protein ≥1 g.
  • Other high-risk conditions per investigator judgment.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
