简要总结
In this phase 2 study, researchers aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy and the immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1/PD-L1 antibody in patients with advanced and unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
详细描述
More and more studies suggest that low-dose chemotherapy has the ability to reshape the tumor microenvironment and promote tumor immunotherapy in a variety of tumors, supporting the rationality of combining low-dose chemotherapy with immunotherapy to effectively treat tumors with low T cell infiltration. More than half of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas are non-inflammatory "cold tumors", and their unique immunosuppressive microenvironment is one of the reasons for the poor response rate to immunotherapy. Low-dose chemotherapy can transform "cold" tumors with low immunogenicity and poor immune cell infiltration into "hot" tumors with immune responsiveness and sufficient immune cell infiltration, enhance the effect of ICIs on tumor cells, and minimize systemic toxicity, thus preserving a "therapeutic window" for combined immunotherapy/targeted therapy. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that it is necessary to study the optimal dose of chemotherapeutic drugs in combination therapy. In combination therapy, long-term, adequate doses of chemotherapeutic drugs may be unnecessary because this will not only lead to more severe toxicity, but also damage rather than enhance anti-tumor immunity.
To determine the efficacy and safety of low-dose chemotherapy combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the treatment of patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, we designed an open-label, prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study of low-dose gemcitabine + cisplatin combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the treatment of patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
