Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called rilvegostomig to see if it can help prevent biliary tract cancer from coming back after surgery. The study includes patients who have had surgery to remove their cancer but are still at risk of it returning. Rilvegostomig will be used along with standard chemotherapy to see if this combination is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who've had surgery to remove biliary tract cancer and are now disease-free. They should have a performance status indicating they can carry out daily activities with ease or minor limitations, and must not have used immunosuppressive drugs recently, nor have autoimmune disorders, severe diseases, recent thromboembolic events, or active hepatitis infections.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy against a placebo combined with chemotherapy in patients who've undergone surgery for biliary tract cancer. The goal is to see if Rilvegostomig can prevent the cancer from coming back.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system due to Rilvegostomig, as well as typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.
