About this trial
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has an increasing global incidence, and over 70% of patients are diagnosed at unresectable stages with limited survival benefits from standard first-line chemotherapy regimens. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) delivers high-concentration local chemotherapy to liver tumors, while the PD-1/CTLA-4 dual antibody iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706) combined with bevacizumab can reshape the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and exert synergistic anti-tumor effects.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HAIC-FOLFOX plus QL1706 and bevacizumab as first-line therapy for patients with unresectable HER2-negative intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Treatments tested in this trial
hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combine with QL1706 and bevacizumab
DrugEligible patients were treated with HAIC plus QL1706 and bevacizumab. On the treatment day, continuous hepatic artery chemotherapy infusion was administered via an indwelling catheter connected to a micro-infusion pump. The infusion regimen included oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² over 3 hours, leucovorin 400 mg/m² over 1.5 hours, 5-FU 400 mg/m² over 2 hours, and 5-FU 2400 mg/m² over 46 hours. The catheter was removed after infusion completion. On the subsequent morning, patients received intravenous QL1706 (7.5 mg/kg) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg), and were discharged after infusion. Treatment was repeated every 3-4 weeks for up to six cycles. Patients with favorable responses received continuous systemic maintenance therapy. Maintenance treatment was continued until death, intolerable toxicity, or loss of clinical benefit, with therapeutic regimens adjusted according to individual clinical status.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
objective response rate,ORR
ORR was defined as the proportion of patients achieving best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1.
Secondary outcomes
disease control rate, DCR
DCR was defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease.
progression-free survival, PFS
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to first documented tumor progression per RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, including death without prior disease progression. Patients without progression at data cutoff or lost to follow-up were censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
Overall survival, OS
OS was defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to death from any cause. Patients who were alive at data cutoff or lost to follow-up were censored at the date last known to be alive.
Safety evaluation
Treatment-related adverse events were assessed according to the CTCAE 5.0 criteria.
Other outcomes
Exploratory Biomarker Analysis
Exploratory biomarker analyses will assess the correlation between baseline and on-treatment biological molecular characteristics and clinical efficacy outcomes including ORR, PFS and OS. Tumor tissues and serial peripheral blood samples collected during the study will be utilized for exploratory multi-omics sequencing and immunological detection, including single-cell sequencing and other high-throughput sequencing analyses. Dynamic changes of intratumor microenvironment, immune characteristics and molecular profiles before and after treatment will be explored and correlated with clinical prognosis. All biomarker analyses are descriptive without formal hypothesis testing, aiming to screen potential predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, explore possible treatment resistance mechanisms, and provide scientific basis for individualized treatment optimization.
