The Purpose of This Research Study is to See if Combining Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Durvalumab Chemotherapy Treatments With a Direct Tumor Therapy Yittrium-90 (Y-90) Will Work Better Together to Shrink Tumors and Control Cancer

A Phase II Single-center, Open-label, Single Arm Study of Induction Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Durvalumab Followed by Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Yttrium-90 (Y-90) Radioembolization for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.

What you commit to

  • Study type: Interventional · Phase 2
  • Planned participants: 16
  • From 12 Jun 2024 to the primary completion date, 30 Mar 2027
  • 1 site in 1 country
  • Visits and tests: ask the trial team, the registry does not list them

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Current or recent use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before durvalumab initiation except if:
    • Intranasal, inhaled, topical or local steroid injections
    • Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses that do not exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent.
    • Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions, (i.e. CT scan premedication).
  • Previous treatment with chemotherapy, intra-arterial or radiotherapy for iCCA is exclusionary, with the exception of adjuvant therapy with capecitabine which is allowed.
  • Concomitant illness that would prevent adequate patient assessment or in the investigators' opinion pose an added risk for study participants.

Other illness

  • History of allogeneic organ transplantation.
  • Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis, with the following exceptions:
    • Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study.
    • Patients with controlled type 1 diabetes on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study.
    • Patients with vitiligo or alopecia.
    • Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy.
    • Patients without an active autoimmune disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician.
    • Patients with diet controlled celiac disease.
  • Gallbladder cancer
  • Pancreatic or ampullary cancer
  • Portal vein thrombosis involving the main portal vein or first order right or left portal vein branches
  • Extrahepatic disease, other than regional lymph nodes that would be removed at time of surgery as part of a routine oncologic procedure for iCCA
  • Active hepatitis B or C for which patients refuse treatment. Patients who are newly diagnosed with active disease as part of protocol screening and are agreeable to initiate on antiviral treatment are allowed to enroll.
  • Life-threatening intercurrent illness
  • Persons with decisional incapacity/cognitive impairment
  • Any history or evidence of severe illness or any other condition that would make the patient, in the opinion of the investigator unsuitable for the study

Lab values

  • Contraindication found during work-up angiography, including significant lung shunting (lung dose \>30 Gy for a single treatment or \>50 Gy cumulative), or non-manageable extrahepatic deposition of technetium Tc 99m macroaggregated albumin on scintigraphy performed after planning angiography
  • Serum albumin \< 3 g/dL
  • Serum bilirubin \> 2 mg/dL, serum aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase \> 5 times upper limit of normal

Other

  • Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Child-Pugh B7 or greater cirrhosis
  • Extrahepatic or perihilar cholangiocarcinoma
  • Contraindication to durvalumab, gemcitabine, or cisplatin
  • \> 75% hepatic tumor burden
  • Inability to protect non-target arteries to intestines or solid organs from radioembolization
  • Anticipated poor compliance
  • Prisoners or subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated
  • Subject is enrolled in a separate interventional clinical trial

Who the study is looking for

  • Adult males and females at least 18 years of age
  • Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed iCCA that is previously untreated or, if systemic therapy has been rendered for prior disease, has been administered at least 6 months before the development of recurrent or de novo new sites of disease.
  • Unresectable disease, as deemed by the Inova multidisciplinary tumor board (i.e. disease that cannot be safely resected with negative margins, leaving 2 adjacent segments of liver with intact portal venous and hepatic arterial inflow and intact biliary and hepatic venous outflow with the future liver remnant of sufficient volume to avoid postoperative liver insufficiency)
  • Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 at least 2 cm in size
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1
  • Noncirrhotic liver - patients should not have a preexisting diagnosis of cirrhosis either diagnosed via biopsy or with features consistent with cirrhosis on imaging (e.g. shrunken liver with nodularity consistent with cirrhosis). Child-Pugh score must be less than 5.
  • No evidence of extrahepatic disease, except for regional adenopathy that would be resected as part of a standard oncologic surgical procedure
  • Adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values (Table 1)
  • Ability to complete testing in the protocol
  • Able and willing to consent to protocol
