Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In total 28 patients (including 3 calculated drop outs and invalid cases) with advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma after failure of a gemcitabine based first-line therapy will be enrolled at 5 centres.
To examine the efficacy of a combination therapy of Trifluridine/Tipiracil and Irinotecan in patients with advanced, non resectable or metastatic cholangio- and gallbladder carcinoma after failure to respond to a previous gemcitabine treatment.
The study will be accompanied by a translational research program:
Before treatment and after each radiological tumor assessment (Q6W) blood and stool will be collected and extensive panels of biomarkers will be accessed.

Detailed Description

In total 28 patients (including 3 calculated drop outs and invalid cases) with advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma after failure of a gemcitabine based first-line therapy will be enrolled at 5 centres.

The study will be accompanied by a translational research program:
Before treatment and after each radiological tumor assessment (Q6W) blood and stool will be collected and extensive panels of biomarkers will be accessed.
Patients will be treated until radiological progression. In average this will be about 4 months. A follow up is planned every 3 months up to 6 months to asses life quality and progression data.
