Y-90 with Durvalumab, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin for Bile Duct Cancer
This study is testing a combination of treatments for bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. The treatments include Yttrium-90 (Y-90), a type of radiation, along with two chemotherapy drugs, gemcitabine and cisplatin, and an immunotherapy drug called durvalumab. Researchers want to see how safe and effective this combination is. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old and have this type of bile duct cancer. The study will measure how long people live without their cancer growing (progression-free survival) and look at any serious side effects. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll about 30 people.
- Study design
- This is a Phase II study that will give the same treatment to all participants (single-arm) and everyone will know what treatments they are receiving (open-label). About 30 people are expected to participate.
- What's involved
- You will undergo screening to see if you qualify, receive study treatments, and have evaluations and follow-up visits. You will be followed for up to 52 weeks after stopping the study treatment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for up to 52 weeks after stopping treatment to monitor progression-free survival and side effects.

Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Female patients should also refrain from breastfeeding throughout this period.

However, periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male patients should refrain from sperm donation throughout this period.

What this trial measures
- Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)Enrollment to end of treatment and up to 52 weeks thereafter
PFS is defined as the time from date of entry into the study until the date of disease progression (according to RECIST v1.1 and assessed by an independent central reviewer) or death, whichever occurs first.
- Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-Related ToxicityEnrollment to end of treatment and up to 52 weeks thereafter
All grade 3 or higher adverse events (AE) with treatment attribution of possibly, probably or definite based on CTCAEv5 as reported on case report forms. Incidence is the number of patients experiencing at least one treatment-related grade 3 or higher AE of any type during the time of observation.
