This phase II trial tests how well giving durvalumab with standard chemotherapy, gemcitabine and cisplatin, before surgery works in treating patients with high risk liver cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving durvalumab with gemcitabine and cisplatin before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed in patients with high risk resectable cholangiocarcinoma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To examine the proportion of patients who complete neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative intent surgical resection. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the major pathologic response (MPR) rate. (Efficacy) II. To determine the proportion of patients who attain an R0 resection following neoadjuvant therapy. (Efficacy) III. To determine the radiological response rate after 2 and 4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. (Efficacy) IV. To determine the overall survival of patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy prior to curative intent surgical resection. (Efficacy) V. To deter…
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) that is resectable by imaging evaluation. Choice of staging modality is left up to the discretion of the treatment team; we favor high-quality CT scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis with liver or biliary protocol. Eligibility will be confirmed through central imaging review. * Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for…
