Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety

Assess efficacy-defined as overall response rate - of radioembolization (TARE) followed by a combination of cisplatin and gemcitabine plus durvalumab in patients with liver predominant unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and assess the safety of the therapeutic scheme

Secondary objectives 6

1. Median progression free survival
2. Interim assessment of efficacy of treatment regimen
3. Describe tumor biological aspects mRECIST criteria on imaging time points Overall response rate according to mRECIST and RECIST 1.1 criteria at three months (interim analysis) Overall response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria at six months Investigate the relationship between tumor circulating markers tumor tissue-based markers
4. Quantitative non-invasive imaging and radiomics-based parameters
5. Genetic markers in tissue and biological substrates
6. Evaluate tumor mutational burden, immunological landscape in responders and non-responders to treatment at given time points and among time points.Quantitative imaging based parameters in responders and non-responders at given time points and among time points.
