Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We aim to explore the effects and safety of the two cohorts of toripalimab combined with lenvatinib or gemox combined with lenvatinib as first-line therapy in advanced or unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) that cannot be surgically removed or accompanied by metastasis, the NCCN guidelines (NCCN guidelines hepatobiliary cancer, 2019) recommend that the current treatment options are limited, mainly recommending gemcitabine combined with platinum-based antitumor drugs (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, etc.) chemotherapy as first-line treatment. Adding targeted drugs can enhance the anti-tumor effect. For those with microsatellite instability, it is recommended to add anti-PD1(programmed cell death protein 1) antibody. Gemox chemotherapy (oxaliplatin + gemcitabine) has been used in the treatment of advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, but the efficacy is still not satisfactory. Lenvatinib is a small-molecule multi-kinase inhibitor that is currently approved for first-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, the anti-PD1 antibody has shown efficacy in the treatment of primary liver cancer. Lenvatinib combined with anti-PD1 antibody or chemotherapy may have a better effect than single use for advanced ICC. At present, lenvatinib combined with anti-PD1 antibody or lenvatinib combined with Gemox in the first-line treatment of advanced ICC has not been reported.
