About this trial

This is an open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study. The purpose of study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy combined with lenvatinib and pucotenlimab as conversion therapy for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Age ≥18 years.

ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1.

Not suitable for radical surgery (including radical hepatic resection, liver transplantation or ablation) after evaluation by the MDT expert group of treating hepatobiliary cancer. Specifically, any of the following conditions are met:

Disqualifiers

Histologically/cytologically confirmed sarcomatoid intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, mixed hepatocellular carcinoma, etc.

History of hepatic encephalopathy or liver transplantation.

Clinically symptomatic pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion requiring drainage. Patients with only radiologically detected minimal pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion without symptoms can be included.

Acute or chronic active hepatitis B or C infection, with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA >2000IU/ml or 10^4 copies/ml; hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA >10^3 copies/ml; co-positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and anti-HCV antibody. Patients who meet the above criteria after antiviral treatment with nucleoside analogs can be included.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Patients Amendable to Curative Surgical Interventions

Number of patients amendable to curative surgical interventions defined as number of patients receiving curative surgical resection, transplantation, or ablation after successful down-sizing of tumor(s) by intervention.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to the date of last treatment, an average of 3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

overall response rate (ORR) measured by mRECIST criteria

Complete response (CR): Disappearance of any intra-tumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions; Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement in the arterial phase) target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions; Stable disease (SD): Any cases that do not qualify for either partial response or progressive disease; Progressive disease (PD): An increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of viable (enhancing) target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters of viable (enhancing) target lesions recorded since treatment started.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
2

Overall survival (OS)

measured from date of first treatment to the date of death from any cause. Participants alive or lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of their last visit.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
3

Progression-free survival (PFS)

measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). Participants alive and without disease progression or lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of their last radiographic assessment.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 years
4

Time to progression (TTP)

Time to progression (TTP): measured from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST 1.1. This does not include death from any cause.

Time frame
from the date of first treatment to radiographically documented progression according to mRECIST, assessed up to 3 years
