View clinical trials related to Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.
Filter by:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) arises from the epithelial cells of bile ducts and occurs proximal to the segmental biliary ducts. ICC is highly aggressive, long-term survival only can be achieved in patients with R0 surgical resection. Large diameter of tumor, multiple tumors, preoperative carbohydrate antigen(CA)19-9 elevated, tumors invaded adjacent blood vessels and preoperative radiology hints suspected regional lymph node metastasis were considered as high-risk factors of recurrence in the previous study. Chemotherapy can trigger antigen release and induces strong anti-tumor effects of T cells due to cytotoxic cell death. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can relieve tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Hence, we aim to investigate objective response rate and R0 resection rate and survival rate of patients with high-risk factors of recurrence who receives Tislelizumab combined with GEMOX regimen(GOT) as a neoadjuvant therapy.
This is a prospective, Two-arm, comparative, randomized, controlled phase II trial, to explore the efficacy and safety of Regorafenib and HAIC vs. FOLFOX as Second Line Therapy for Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is associated with poor prognosis. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety FOLFOX-HAIC in combination with targeted therapy and/or PD-1 inhibitors for patients with initially unresectable ICC, as well as its role in conversion therapy. Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients with locally advanced unresectable ICC treated with FOLFOX-HAIC combined with targeted therapy and/or PD-1 inhibitors. The treatment efficacy and safety were evaluated.
The purpose of this research is to see if combining gemcitabine, cisplatin and Durvalumab chemotherapy treatments with a direct tumor therapy called Yittrium-90, will work better together to shrink the tumor and control cancer.
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, including hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, of which intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma accounts for 10%-15%. Surgical resection is the only curative method for ICC, but most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and only 15% of patients can undergo surgical resection. In locally advanced ICC patients without distant metastases, although the tumor was initially assessed as unresectable, these patients may have the opportunity for surgical resection after reducing the size tumor lesion and increasing the remnant liver volume through conversion therapy. The current standard first-line treatment for unresectable ICC is gemcitabine combined with cisplatin, with a median overall survival of only 11.7 months and an ORR of 26.1%. In view of the poor effect of the standard chemotherapy regimen, the NCCN guidelines recommend that patients could participate in clinical study. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy can increase the local blood drug concentration and improve the tumor regression rate. By reducing the dose of systemic chemotherapy drugs concentration, the incidence of adverse reactions can be reduced. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy may be a better choice for locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. PD-1 immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy is expected to improve the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This study investigates the safety and efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with sintilimab and bevacizumabin the treatment of unresectable ICC.
This is a Phase III, prospective, randomized, three-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab in combination with lenvatinib and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy compared with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for unresectable advanced ICC. This study will enroll approximately 480 patients with unresectable advanced ICC who have received no prior systemic therapy. Patients who meet the requirements will be randomly assigned to Treatment Arm A: Toripalimab, lenvatinib, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or Treatment Arm B: Toripalimab, oral placebo, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or Treatment Arm C: Intravenous placebo, oral placebo, and gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. All patients will receive standard chemotherapy (GEMOX or GC per Investigator decision) for a maximum of 8 cycles. After the completion of standard chemotherapy, all patients continue to receive maintenance therapy with toripalimab injection or its placebo in combination with lenvatinib mesylate capsule or its placebo until unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression and loss of clinical benefit as determined by the investigators, start of new anti-cancer therapy, death, other conditions requiring termination of study treatment, or the patient meets the criteria for study withdrawal, whichever occurs first. In the absence of unacceptable toxicity, patients who meet criteria for unconfirmed disease progression per RECIST v1.1 while receiving toripalimab, lenvatinib, or their placebos will be permitted to continue treatment if their clinical status or symptoms are stable or improved (as determined by the investigators) or until loss of clinical benefit. Patients with confirmed disease progression should discontinue toripalimab, lenvatinib, or their placebos. Tumor assessments will be performed at screening and during the study treatment per protocol. In the absence of progression, tumor assessments will continue as scheduled, regardless of whether study treatment ends, until confirmed disease progression or other criteria for study withdrawal are met, whichever occurs first. Patients who meet RECIST v1.1 criteria for progression should undergo tumor assessments as scheduled if clinical benefits of continuing study treatment are determined by investigators until progression is confirmed per iRECIST (iCPD), or the criteria for study withdrawal are met, whichever occurs first. Computerized tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for efficacy evaluation will be performed at baseline, every 6 weeks (Q6W) in the first year (52 weeks), and every 9 weeks (Q9W) in the second year (after week 52). All AEs and concomitant medications during the study will be recorded. An end-of-treatment (EOT) visit will be performed within 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or termination of study treatment is confirmed by the investigator. After the EOT visit, follow-up for survival (telephone visit is allowed) will be conducted and AEs and subsequent anti-cancer therapy will be collected.
This phase II trial tests whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound can predict the response of bile duct cancer to targeted radiotherapy (radioembolization treatment). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound uses gas microbubbles that may provide enhancement on ultrasound. It is also possible to pop these microbubbles using ultrasound imaging. Tumors that experience popping of these microbubbles may be easier to kill with radiotherapies. Therefore, this trial may also help doctors see if ultrasound-triggered microbubble popping can improve bile duct cancer response to radiotherapy. Another purpose of this trial is to test if the pressure inside the tumor estimated through ultrasound can be used to predict the tumor response to radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a radiological nomogram including radiological characteristics, clinical risk factors, and medical history. And we aim to establish a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and to construct a differential diagnosis model for ICC and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with higher sensitivity and accuracy.
