Summary

This study tests a new way to treat bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It combines chemotherapy given directly into the liver with standard IV chemo, plus two additional drugs (adebrelimab and apatinib) that boost the immune system and block tumor growth. The trial will enroll 124 people and compare this combination to the same chemo regimen without the extra drugs.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that combines chemotherapy with immunotherapy and targeted therapy to better control biliary tract cancer.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 study with only 124 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Adding more drugs also raises the risk of side effects.
