Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Age >= 18 years with body weight > 30 kg

Oligometastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is also eligible. Specifically, such patients must have EITHER =< 3 malignant extrahepatic lymph nodes (short axis diameter >= 3cm) OR metastatic lesions in one organ other than liver (if only single lesion is present diameter MUST be < 3cm, if up to 3 lesions in one organ each lesion MUST be =< 1cm)

Study Summary

This trial tests if combining Y90 radioembolization with immunotherapy can help treat advanced, unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer with few curative options.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with locally advanced, unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who can't have curative therapy. They should be in good physical condition (ECOG PS 0 or 1), not pregnant, and without severe concurrent diseases or a history of multiple treatments for this cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Y90 radioembolization combined with two monoclonal antibodies, tremelimumab and durvalumab. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective at killing more tumor cells in patients who cannot undergo surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions to immunotherapy like fatigue, skin reactions, inflammation of organs as well as those related to radiation such as localized pain or damage to surrounding tissues.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort II: (Y90, tremelimumab on day 14, cycle 1, durvalumab )Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
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.
Group II: Cohort I: (Y90, tremelimumab on day 1, cycle 1, durvalumab)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive transarterial Y90 radioembolization and tremelimumab 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any unfilled slots remaining for participants in this medical trial?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, enrollment in this investigation has been concluded and it is no longer recruiting subjects. It was first posted on October 1st 2023 with its last update published on September 22nd 2023. However, there are presently 208 other trials that are accepting participants."

Answered by AI

Has the combination of Y90, tremelimumab on day 1, cycle 1 and durvalumab been regulatory approved by the FDA?

"Our team has given Cohort I: (Y90, tremelimumab on day 1, cycle 1, durvalumab) a score of 1 due to its status as a Phase 1 trial. This means that there is minimal data regarding both safety and efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is the primary intent of this research project?

"As the primary outcome, this study will monitor the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability) across a 28 day period. Secondary objectives involve an exploration into median progression free survival, median overall survival as well as objective response rates evaluated through modified RECIST version 1.1, mRECIST and PERCIST criteria for each patient. Responses will be summarized according to simple descriptive summary statistics detailing complete and partial responses in addition to stable or progressive disease among all patients enrolled in the trial."
