Perioperative Retlirafusp Alfa(Anti-PD-L1/TGF-β Bifunctional Fusion Protein) Plus Famitinib and GEMOX-Based Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Multicenter, Single-Arm, Exploratory Phase II Trial

About this trial

This is a multicenter, single-arm, exploratory clinical study for adults with locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) that may be technically resectable but is difficult to remove directly by surgery. The study will evaluate whether perioperative treatment with Retlirafusp alfa, famitinib malate, and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy using gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (HAIC-GEMOX) can help control the tumor before surgery and support further treatment after surgery.

Participants who meet the study requirements will receive neoadjuvant treatment before surgery. After surgery, participants will receive adjuvant treatment with Retlirafusp alfa combined with capecitabine or S-1. The study treatment and follow-up will continue until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, death, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-defined stopping criteria.

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate event-free survival. The study will also monitor tumor response, surgery-related outcomes, survival, and safety. Participants will have regular safety visits, blood tests, imaging examinations, and follow-up visits during and after treatment.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

EFS is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first occurrence of any event, including disease progression that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, or death from any cause.

Time frame
From the start of treatment until the first EFS event, assessed up to 36 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Pathological complete response rate

Percentage of participants who achieve pathological complete response after neoadjuvant treatment and surgery.

Time frame
At the time of surgical pathological assessment, assessed up to 36 months.
2

Major pathological response rate

Percentage of participants who achieve major pathological response. Major pathological response is defined as residual viable tumor cells accounting for 50% or less of the tumor bed.

Time frame
At the time of surgical pathological assessment, assessed up to 36 months.
3

R0 resection rate

Percentage of participants who undergo R0 resection, defined as no gross residual tumor and no tumor cells within 1 mm of the microscopic surgical margin.

Time frame
At the time of surgery, assessed up to 36 months.
4

Disease-free survival

DFS is defined as the time from the date of surgery to disease recurrence or death from any cause.

Time frame
From the date of surgery until recurrence or death, assessed up to 36 months.
