Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with pathologically confirmed high-risk recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastases or those who have received prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy within three months before surgery may not benefit from this study.

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 efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab, an immunotherapy drug, in combination with S-1, a chemotherapy agent, for patients who have undergone surgery for high-risk recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The study focuses on patients who have specific high-risk factors following radical surgery, such as positive margins or multiple tumor nodes. Participants will be monitored for treatment outcomes and safety over the course of the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with high-risk recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: While this specific combination has not been widely tested, similar immunotherapy and chemotherapy combinations have shown promise in treating various cancers.
