A multicenter Phase II, randomized, prospective, open-label Trial investigating the clinical impact on combining Specific Internal Radiotherapy (SIRT) with the PD1-L Inhibitor Durvalumab and the CTLA-4 Inhibitor Tremelimumab in patients with intrahepatic Biliary Tract Cancer
IMMUWHY Phase II Clinical Trial will test the Addition of the immunotherapeutic agents Durvalumab and Tremelimumab after an initial Standard of Care SIRT in patients suffering from non-resectable intrahepatic Biliary Tract Cancer. Patients will be randomized into two experimental arms, one receiving Durvalumab only, the other one receiving Durvalumab + Tremelimumab. Clinical Outcomes will be compared vs. historical datasets.
914 studies on the registry are indexed under Cholangiocarcinoma; 286 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is close to the median of 50 across 687 interventional studies indexed under Cholangiocarcinoma.

Histologically documented diagnosis of locally-advanced OR limited metasized intrahepatic BTC not amenable to curative treatment (tumor resection or ablation), specified as
In case of presence of extrahepatic lesions, metastasis must be stable AND of limited extent* AND patient must have a potential benefit from study participation in comparison to standard of care systemic therapy per local tumor board evaluation.
*Limited extent is defined in this protocol as presence of
Patients with prior chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy can be enrolled if ONE of the following criteria is met:
Has been considered candidate for standard-of-care Y-90 SIRT therapy per Investigator decision and after prior consultation with the tumor board if available at site and does not display contraindications against SIRT.
Contraindications against SIRT would be
If patient has concurrent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, meets the following criteria:
Controlled (treated) hepatitis B subjects will be allowed if they started treatment at the time point of enrollment into the study by the latest and treatment is continued during study participation and for ≥ 6 months after end of study treatment.
- HCV patients with advanced BTC are mostly not treated for their HCV infection. However, patients treated for HCV are considered suitable for inclusion if antiviral therapy has been completed ≥ 30 days prior to first administration of study drug.

Objective Response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1
Proportion of allocated subjects with best response of complete or partial response
Time frame: 20 months
Safety (rate of adverse events)
Type, incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0
Time frame: From first patient included until study closure (approx. 43 months after First Patient Included)
Duration of response (DoR)
Time from that the measurement criteria are first met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that the PD is objectively documented or death
Time frame: From first measurement of CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 until disease progression occurs (up to 43 months until Study Closure)
Progression free survival (PFS)
Time from the date of randomization to the date of first observed disease progression (investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause
Time frame: From date of randomization until disease progression occurs (up to 43 months until Study Closure)
Overall Survival (OS)
time from the date of treatment allocation to the date of death.
Time frame: Date of enrollment until date of death if applicable (up to 43 months until Study Closure)
Translational research
Exploratory: Predictive biomarkers that with a potential effect on Objective Response Rate, Duration of Response, Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival via blood sample collection + genetic subset analysis. The following translational research is currently planned, but may be adapted taking into account new research data: Tumors will be tested for mRNA expression of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression, Immune cell infiltrates (IGHM, CD3, CD8, FOXP3, CD68, CD205), Chemokines (CXCL9. CXCL10, CXCL13) and invasion markers (MMP7, MMP9)
Time frame: 3 months
