About this trial

This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II clinical trial, planned to enroll 30 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic iCCA/GBC. Patients will first receive cryoablation treatment, and two weeks after ablation, they will receive 8 cycles of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (Relatlimab α plus GC chemotherapy, every 3 weeks). During the maintenance phase, patients will continue with Relatlimab α alone, every 3 weeks, for up to one year. During the combination treatment phase, efficacy will be evaluated every 6 weeks, and during the maintenance phase, every 6 to 9 weeks. From the date of randomization/enrollment, survival follow-ups will be conducted every 3 months (±14 days) for the first 2 years; afterwards, follow-ups will occur every 6 months (±28 days) until the participant dies, is lost to follow-up, or the study ends, whichever comes first.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years, any gender;

Histologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced/metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer;

No prior anti-tumor treatment;

At least one measurable target lesion according to RECIST 1.1 tumor evaluation criteria, and at least one lesion suitable for ablation;

Disqualifiers

Previously received systemic anti-tumor treatment;

Active brain metastases; patients with asymptomatic brain metastases can be enrolled; for patients clinically suspected of central nervous system metastasis, a CT or MRI must be performed within 28 days before enrollment to rule out central nervous system metastasis;

Had other malignant tumors within 5 years before administration (except tumors cured with radical treatment, such as basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, etc.);

Allergic to the study drug (Rilafup Alpha Injection, or other immune checkpoint inhibitors);

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PD-1 and chemotherapy

    Drug

    Rilapafup α: 1800 mg, intravenous infusion, every 3 weeks. Use Rilapafup α injection (same dose as above) for maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Chemotherapy: Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² IV infusion over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8; Cisplatin 25 mg/m² IV infusion on days 1 and 8; repeat every 3 weeks.

  • cryoablation

    Procedure/Surgery

    Cryoablation: Depending on the size and location of the tumor, a cryoprobe is inserted percutaneously into the center of the tumor under ultrasound guidance. Once the probe is in place, the tip is cooled down to -196℃, freezing the tumor for 15 minutes, then warmed up (to about 80℃) for 5 minutes, completing two freeze-thaw cycles.
