Brief Summary

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

The median survival of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains less than one year, highlighting the need for new treatments. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), especially with fluoropyrimidine-based regimens, has shown promise in ICC treatment due to increased local drug concentration and reduced systemic toxicity. A combined approach of radiotherapy and HAIC with gemcitabine infusion may offer a hopeful strategy for locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma. However, clinical research on this combination is lacking as first-line therapy for unresectable ICC. Therefore, a single-center, single-arm study aims to assess this treatment approach's safety, efficacy, and molecular predictors. Improved HAIC delivery through modified percutaneous implantation provides a reliable pathway for effective treatment. In conclusion, exploring the synergistic effects of radiotherapy and HAIC in ICC could pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment strategies for this challenging cancer type.

Detailed Description

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

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) ranks as the second most common primary liver cancer, constituting 15%-20% of malignant liver tumors, with a rising incidence trend. Unlike hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ICC displays higher invasiveness and metastatic potential. Surgical resection remains the optimal treatment, yet many patients present with unresectable disease or metastasis, limiting surgical options. Chemotherapy, particularly the GC regimen, is standard for unresectable and metastatic ICC. Studies like ABC-02 have improved survival with GC chemotherapy compared to gemcitabine monotherapy. However, the median survival remains less than one year, highlighting the need for new treatments. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), especially with fluoropyrimidine-based regimens, has shown promise in ICC treatment due to increased local drug concentration and reduced systemic toxicity. A combined approach of radiotherapy and HAIC with gemcitabine infusion may offer a hopeful strategy for locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma. However, clinical research on this combination is lacking as first-line therapy for unresectable ICC. Therefore, a single-center, single-arm study aims to assess this treatment approach's safety, efficacy, and molecular predictors. Improved HAIC delivery through modified percutaneous implantation provides a reliable pathway for effective treatment. In conclusion, exploring the synergistic effects of radiotherapy and HAIC in ICC could pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment strategies for this challenging cancer type.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 18-75 years, both male and female.
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed primary cholangiocarcinoma (including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder carcinoma) or imaging-confirmed localized cholangiocarcinoma, staged as T1-4N0/N+M0 (according to AJCC 7th edition clinical staging).
* Ineligible for surgical treatment or refusal of surgical treatment upon pre-treatment assessment.
* Presence of measurable lesions as per RECIST v1.1 criteria for evaluation.
* ECOG performance status: 0-1.
* Expected survival of more than 6 months.
* Tolerable function of major organs for treatment.
* Non-surgically sterilized or premenopausal female patients need to use a medically accepted contraceptive method during the study treatment period and within 3 months after the end of the study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects with any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease are excluded.
* Patients with poorly controlled clinical symptoms or diseases related to the heart, such as:

1. NYHA Class 2 or above heart failure
