This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II clinical trial, planned to enroll 30 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic iCCA/GBC. Patients will first receive cryoablation treatment, and two weeks after ablation, they will receive 8 cycles of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (Relatlimab α plus GC chemotherapy, every 3 weeks). During the maintenance phase, patients will continue with Relatlimab α alone, every 3 weeks, for up to one year. During the combination treatment phase, efficacy will be evaluated every 6 weeks, and during the maintenance phase, every 6 to 9 weeks. From the date of randomization/enrollment, survival follow-ups will be conducted every 3 months (±14 days) for the first 2 years; afterwards, follow-ups will occur every 6 months (±28 days) until the participant dies, is lost to follow-up, or the study ends, whichever comes first.
484 studies on the registry are indexed under Biliary Tract Neoplasms; 187 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 56 across 404 interventional studies indexed under Biliary Tract Neoplasms.

Adequate organ and bone marrow function (no transfusion, recombinant human thrombopoietin, or colony-stimulating factor treatment within 2 weeks before first dose), defined as:
Exclusion Criteria:
Drug: PD-1 and chemotherapy · Procedure: cryoablation
Rilapafup α: 1800 mg, intravenous infusion, every 3 weeks. Use Rilapafup α injection (same dose as above) for maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Chemotherapy: Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² IV infusion over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8; Cisplatin 25 mg/m² IV infusion on days 1 and 8; repeat every 3 weeks.
Cryoablation: Depending on the size and location of the tumor, a cryoprobe is inserted percutaneously into the center of the tumor under ultrasound guidance. Once the probe is in place, the tip is cooled down to -196℃, freezing the tumor for 15 minutes, then warmed up (to about 80℃) for 5 minutes, completing two freeze-thaw cycles.
