About this trial

The aim of the current study is to determine the potential efficacy of liver transplantation in the form of patients' overall survival (OS) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy in patients with biologically responsive locally advanced non-metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) in comparison to patients historically treated with chemotherapy alone.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years of age on the day of consenting to the study.

Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable iCCA with no vascular invasion, lymph node, or extrahepatic disease.

Unresectable disease based on tumor location or underlying liver disease

Disqualifiers

Age <18 years of age on the day of consenting to the study.

Patients who have extrahepatic metastases, lymph node involvement, invasion or encasement of major hepatic vascular structures, perforation of the visceral peritoneum, invasion of extrahepatic structures, invasion of perihilar fat, periductular invasion, concurrent hepatoma or mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma.

Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, acute fulminant liver failure, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, severe uncorrected coronary artery disease, severe cerebrovascular disease, severe pulmonary disease, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements and that would exclude the patient from eligibility for liver transplantation per institutional protocol.

Prior solid organ or bone marrow transplant
