Brief Summary

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

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization combined with immunotherapy drugs tremelimumab and durvalumab in treating patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the bile ducts in the liver) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) who are not candidates for curative therapy or that has spread from where it first started (primary side) to multiple other places in the body (oligo-metastatic). Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but aggressive cancer with limited curative options outside of surgery. Immunotherapy has shown modest benefit in hepatobiliary (liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder) cancers including cholangiocarcinoma. Radioembolization is a type of radiation therapy used to treat liver cancer that is advanced or has come back where tiny beads that hold the radioactive substance (radioisotope) yttrium Y90 are injected into or near the hepatic artery (the main blood vessel that carries blood to the liver). The beads collect in the tumor and the Y90 gives off radiation. This destroys the blood vessels that the tumor needs to grow and kills the tumor cells. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving Y90 radioembolization in combination with tremelimumab and durvalumab immunotherapy may be safe and beneficial in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable or oligo-metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who are not candidates for curative therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

Arm I (COHORT I): Patients receive transarterial Y90 radioembolization and tremelimumab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1 of cycle 1 and durvalumab IV over 1 hour on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo mapping angiography during screening as well as computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT during screening and on study. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial and may undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.

Arm II (COHORT II): Patients receive transarterial Y90 radioembolization on day 1 of cycle 1 and receive tremelimumab IV over 1 hour on day 14 of cycle 1 and durvalumab IV over 1 hour on day 14 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days for cycle 1 and then every 28 days for cycles 2-24 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo mapping angiography during screening, as well as CT and MRI or PET/CT during screening and on study. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial and may undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.

Cohort III: This is a dose expansion cohort where patients are enrolled based on the efficacy and safety results from Cohorts I and II.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.
