Summary

This trial focuses on biliary tract cancer, which is a type of aggressive cancer that affects the bile ducts and gallbladder. It is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, with a high risk

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a type of bile duct cancer known as iCCA that can be surgically removed. Participants must have not undergone any previous treatments for their condition and should be physically fit enough to handle surgery and chemotherapy.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Nab-Paclitaxel) with an investigational drug called Rilvegostomig in patients undergoing surgery for iCCA. The goal is to see if this regimen can prevent the cancer from coming back.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, numbness or tingling in hands and feet due to nerve damage (neuropathy), low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, kidney issues, and liver toxicity.
