What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neoantigen Vaccine plus CapecitabineCombination product

    1. Capecitabine.Twice a day, 30 minutes after breakfast, swallow with water, continue for 2 weeks, then stop for 1 week, constitutes one cycle; three weeks make one cycle, lasting for 8 cycles.
    2. Neoantigen Vaccine . Every 3 weeks, once every 21 days, for 4 to 8 cycles. The injection is administered on the first day after cessation of capecitabine. Treatment can last for up to 6 months without occurrences such as the researcher determining no further clinical benefit, intolerable toxic reactions, initiation of new anti-tumor treatment, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, death, or other circumstances specified in the protocol that require treatment termination.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Related Adverse events (TRAEs), Serious adverse events (SAEs), and grade 3 or higher TRAEs.

    Safety parameters in this study include clinical symptoms, vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests (complete blood count, urinalysis, blood chemistry, coagulation function, etc.). Adverse events (AEs) observed are evaluated according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, including type, incidence, severity, onset and end time, whether they are serious adverse events, and their relationship to the investigational drug.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after the last use of the study drug

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 1 year Overall Survival (OS) rate

    The percentage of patients who are still alive one year after the start of the study.

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Recurrence-free survival (RFS)

    Recurrence-free survival (RFS) is defined as the time from initiation of treatment with the first dose to the first documented recurrence (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria) or until the patient's death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Neoantigen Vaccine plus Capecitabine in people with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Yongyi Zeng at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yongyi Zeng, Professor (0591-88112620, lamp197311@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Related Adverse events (TRAEs), Serious adverse events (SAEs), and grade 3 or higher TRAEs. (time frame: Up to 12 weeks after the last use of the study drug). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2025.
