Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining Gemcitabine, nab-Paclitaxel, Lenvatinib, and Tislelizumab in adults aged 18-75 years with advanced unresectable biliary tract malignancies (including gallbladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the objective response rate (ORR) of this quadruplet regimen as first-line therapy? What are the secondary outcomes, including disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety profile? This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study with no comparison group. Participants will: Receive Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² IV on Days 1 and 8) and nab-Paclitaxel (125 mg/m² IV on Days 1 and 8) every 3 weeks. Take Lenvatinib (4-8 mg orally daily on Days 1-21). Receive Tislelizumab (200 mg IV on Day 1) every 3 weeks. Undergo 6-8 treatment cycles (adjusted for tolerability) with regular imaging, laboratory tests, and safety assessments. Be followed for 3 years to monitor survival and long-term outcomes. The study plans to enroll 29 participants and will be conducted at a single center over 36 months.

Who cannot take part

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

Prior treatment

  • Participation in other clinical trials within 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise patient safety or compliance (e.g., severe concurrent illness, abnormal lab results, psychosocial factors).
  • Prior use of PD-1/L1 inhibitors, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, or lenvatinib in adjuvant/neoadjuvant settings.

Other illness

  • Severe systemic infection or uncontrolled comorbidities (e.g., heart failure, thyroid disorders, psychiatric conditions).
  • Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to study drugs or their excipients.

Other

  • Pregnancy, lactation, or refusal to use effective contraception.
  • Inability to understand or unwillingness to sign informed consent.

Who the study is looking for

  • Aged 18-75 years, regardless of gender.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed, untreated primary advanced unresectable biliary tract malignancies (BTC), including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), extrahepatic chololiocarcinoma (ECC), and gallbladder cancer (GBC); or untreated recurrent BTC (prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy allowed if completed ≥3 months before recurrence, excluding regimens containing PD-1/L1 inhibitors, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, or lenvatinib).
  • ECOG performance status score 0-1.
  • Expected survival ≥3 months.
  • At least one measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1 criteria.
  • Adequate organ function:
    • Hematologic: Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; WBC ≥lower limit of normal (LLN); ANC ≥1.5×10⁹/L; platelets ≥100×10⁹/L.
    • Renal: Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN; endogenous creatinine clearance rate ≥55 mL/min.
    • Hepatic: Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; ALT/AST ≤2.5×ULN (≤3×ULN for intrahepatic BTC or liver metastases; ALT/AST ≤5×ULN for liver metastases).
    • Coagulation: INR ≤1.5×ULN; APTT within normal range.
  • No prior systemic therapy for advanced BTC (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or hormonal therapy). Patients with post-R2 resection are eligible.
  • Negative serum/urine pregnancy test (for women of childbearing potential) and agreement to use contraception during the study and for 6 months post-treatment.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
