About this trial

The purpose of this research is to see if combining gemcitabine, cisplatin and Durvalumab chemotherapy treatments with a direct tumor therapy called Yittrium-90, will work better together to shrink the tumor and control cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult males and females at least 18 years of age

Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed iCCA that is previously untreated or, if systemic therapy has been rendered for prior disease, has been administered at least 6 months before the development of recurrent or de novo new sites of disease.

Unresectable disease, as deemed by the Inova multidisciplinary tumor board (i.e. disease that cannot be safely resected with negative margins, leaving 2 adjacent segments of liver with intact portal venous and hepatic arterial inflow and intact biliary and hepatic venous outflow with the future liver remnant of sufficient volume to avoid postoperative liver insufficiency)

Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 at least 2 cm in size

Disqualifiers

Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding

History of allogeneic organ transplantation.

Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study.

Patients with controlled type 1 diabetes on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Induction Chemotherapy Triplet Therapy

    Drug

    Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2, Cisplatin 25 mg/m2 infused on both day 1 and day 8 of a 21-day cycle. Durvalumab 1500 mg will be given on day 1 of each cycle.

  • Concurrent Y-90 treatment

    Radiation

    Patients will undergo a Y-90 treatment planning consultation by the treating interventional radiologist during cycle 1. One or two cycles (depending on tumor size) of cisplatin, 25 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 300 mg/m2 given on day 1 and day 8 in combination with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres which will be given on day 3-7 or day 10-21 at the discretion of the interventional radiologist, separated in time by at least 2 days from a chemo infusion during that cycle

  • Consolidation Doublet Therapy:

    Drug

    Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 and Cisplatin 25 mg/m2 given on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle with durvalumab 1500 mg given on day 1 of each cycle for 3-5 additional cycles. For the cycle directly after Y-90, gemcitabine will be kept at a dose of 300 mg/m2 to minimize risk of toxicity.
