Combining toripalimab with GemCis for treating resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of toripalimab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GemCis) as a preoperative neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) at high risk of recurrence. Participants will receive the treatment before surgery to assess its impact on tumor characteristics and surgical outcomes. The study aims to determine if this combination can improve patient prognosis compared to standard treatment options.
