Official title
A Real-World Study on Postoperative Adjuvant Therapy for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Patients With High-Risk Recurrence Factors
Overview
This multicenter real-world study assesses the efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapies in postoperative intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients with high-risk recurrence factors. 90 eligible patients will be assigned to: Cohort 1: GP (gemcitabine/cisplatin) + adebrelimab Cohort 2: Apatinib + adebrelimab Cohort 3: S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) + adebrelimab Outcomes will be compared against historical real-world controls receiving standard chemotherapy.
Interventions
- Drug Adebrelimab
Adebrelimab administered intravenously at \[1200mg\] on day 1 of each 21-day cycle, for up to 17 cycles, common to all three cohorts. - Drug Gemcitabine
Gemcitabine administered intravenously at \[1000 mg/m\^2\] on days 1 and 8 of each \[21\]-day cycle, for up to 8 cycles, in combination with cisplatin and adebrelimab, - Drug Cisplatin
Cisplatin administered intravenously at \[25 mg/m\^2\] on days 1 and 8 of each \[21\]-day cycle, for up to 8 cycles, in combination with gemcitabine and adebrelimab. - Drug S-1
S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) administered orally twice daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle, dosed according to body surface area, for up to 8 cycles, in combination with adebrelimab. - Drug Apatinib
Apatinib administered orally at \[250mg\] once daily continuously, for up to 17 cycles, in combination with adebrelimab.
Primary outcome measures
- Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 4 years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 4 years]
