Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, also known as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, is derived from intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells, the second most common primary liver malignant tumor in china. but most (60% -70%) patients is diagnosed at the advanced stage . Gemcitabine plus cisplatin is the standard first-line advanced treatment recommended in international and domestic guidelines, but the treatment effect remains to be improved.

The clinical benefits of immune therapies for HCC are emerging. Early clinical data already show the safety of immune checkpoint inhibition. This study is to analyze the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy Triprilumab Injection combined with Gemcitabine Injection plus Cisplatin Injection in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Patients who were aged 18 to 80 years with a histological or cytological diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma，locally advanced or multiple liver metastases, including postoperative occurrence, will be enrolled in this trial.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Observation period 48 months
Time from first randomization to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Observation period 48 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 48 months
Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Up to 48 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1
Time Frame: Up to 48 months
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: a ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters [SOD] of target lesions) as assessed by RECIST 1.1
Up to 48 months
Disease Control Rate(DCR)

DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed Complete Response or Partial Response as assessed by RECIST 1.1
Up to 48 months
Myopathologic response(MPR)

DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with residual survival tumor ≤10%, the evaluation requires two liver cancer pathologists to evaluate and judge. If the difference between the two pathologists' evaluation is ≤10%, the average value is taken as the pathological remission rate. If the difference is greater than 10%, a third pathologist is required to evaluate, and then the average of the two with a difference of less than 10% will be taken
