This phase II trial studies whether [18F]FTT can be used with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging to predict treatment response in patients scheduled to receive gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab (GCD) for newly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma. PET/CT is an imaging technique that utilizes PET and CT in a single machine. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this trial, [18F]FTT, to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is used. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in the patient's body. [18F]FTT targets and binds to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1). Some cholangiocarcinoma tumor cells may express PARP1 which may make it easier to see them on PET/CT. Research has shown that tumor cells that express PARP1 may not respond well to GCD treatment. Researchers hope that by using [18F]FTT with PET/CT imaging they will be able to detect which patients have tumor cells that express PARP1, which may help predict treatment response in patients scheduled to receive GCD for newly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive [18F]FTT intravenously (IV) and 60, 90, or 150 minutes later undergo PET/CT within 30 days prior to day 1 cycle 1 of GCD and 12 weeks after starting GCD in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at week 24 and then up to 6 months after completing GCD treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Able to have children. For women this usually means from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery; for men, unless permanently sterile. Read who the line is about — participants, women, men, or their partners.
Criteria about it usually ask for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relationship between standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax) and overall response rate
Baseline SUVmax will be extracted from a region of interest (ROI) placed on the tumor lesion of interest using a 40% threshold. Will assess overall response rate at 24 ± 2 weeks after starting GCD by using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Response will be analyzed as a binary outcome. Differences in baseline SUVmax between responders and non-responders will be evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Logistic regression models will be used to estimate the direction and magnitude of association, with response as the dependent variable and SUVmax as the predictor. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be reported. Analysis will focus on estimation of effect sizes and the direction and magnitude of associations of the primary endpoints, overall response rate and SUVmax of the most avid lesion, rather than formal hypothesis testing alone. Boxplots will be used to visualize the distribution of SUVmax by responders group.
Time frame: At baseline and 24 weeks after starting gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab (GCD)
Relationship between standardized uptake value mean (SUVmean) and overall response rate
Will measure baseline SUVmean from an ROI placed on the tumor lesion of interest using a 40% threshold. Treatment response will be defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria at 24 ± 2 weeks following GCD treatment. Association between baseline SUVmean and treatment response will be evaluated using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Logistic regression will be used to quantify the magnitude and direction of association between baseline SUVmean and response. Results will be summarized using odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals, and boxplot to illustrate the distribution of baseline SUVmean between responders and non-responders.
Time frame: At baseline and 24 weeks after starting GCD
Change in SUVmax and response
Will calculate the change of SUVmax from baseline to 12 ± 2 weeks after starting GCD. Due to the limited sample size, will use the nonparametric method Wilcoxon Rank Sum test to evaluate the difference in change between responders and non-responders. Effect sizes will be summarized using the median difference (Hodges-Lehmann estimator) in change between groups with 95% confidence intervals.
