Overview

This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II clinical trial, planned to enroll 30 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic iCCA/GBC. Patients will first receive cryoablation treatment, and two weeks after ablation, they will receive 8 cycles of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (Relatlimab α plus GC chemotherapy, every 3 weeks). During the maintenance phase, patients will continue with Relatlimab α alone, every 3 weeks, for up to one year. During the combination treatment phase, efficacy will be evaluated every 6 weeks, and during the maintenance phase, every 6 to 9 weeks. From the date of randomization/enrollment, survival follow-ups will be conducted every 3 months (±14 days) for the first 2 years; afterwards, follow-ups will occur every 6 months (±28 days) until the participant dies, is lost to follow-up, or the study ends, whichever comes first.

  5. No active autoimmune disease;
  6. No concurrent malignancies;
  7. ECOG performance status 0-1;
  8. Expected survival ≥ 3 months;
  9. Adequate organ and bone marrow function (no transfusion, recombinant human thrombopoietin, or colony-stimulating factor treatment within 2 weeks before first dose), defined as:
    1. Blood count: neutrophils (NEUT) ≥ 1.2×10\^9/L; platelets (PLT) ≥ 90×10\^9/L; hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/dL;
    2. Liver function: AST and ALT ≤ 2.5× upper limit of normal (ULN); ALP ≤ 2.5×ULN; total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5×ULN; if liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤ 5×ULN;

  2. Active brain metastases; patients with asymptomatic brain metastases can be enrolled; for patients clinically suspected of central nervous system metastasis, a CT or MRI must be performed within 28 days before enrollment to rule out central nervous system metastasis;
  3. Had other malignant tumors within 5 years before administration (except tumors cured with radical treatment, such as basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, etc.);
  4. Allergic to the study drug (Rilafup Alpha Injection, or other immune checkpoint inhibitors);
  5. History of unstable angina; newly diagnosed angina within 3 months before screening or myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening; arrhythmias (including QTcF: men ≥ 450 ms, women ≥ 470 ms) requiring long-term use of anti-arrhythmic drugs and NYHA class ≥ II heart failure;
  6. Urinalysis showing protein ≥ and confirmed 24-hour urine protein quantification \> 1.0g;
  7. Infectious pneumonia, non-infectious pneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, or other conditions requiring corticosteroid therapy; history of chronic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus; history of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or other inflammatory bowel diseases; history of chronic diarrhea conditions like irritable bowel syndrome; history of sarcoidosis or tuberculosis; active hepatitis B or C, and HIV infection;
  8. Currently participating in interventional clinical research treatment, or have received other study drugs or devices within 4 weeks before first administration;
  9. History of substance abuse that cannot be stopped or mental disorders; Any other situation in which the investigator believes the patient is not suitable for participation in this study.

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.
