About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Nivolumab Plus Relatlimab 360 mg/360 mg and Gemcitabine/Cisplatin as First-Line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer.(NOBLE)

A Randomized Phase II Study. To assess the difference in objective response rate (ORR) between adult patients with advanced biliary tract cancer assigned to nivolumab plus relatlimab 360 mg/360 mg in combination with GC or nivolumab plus GC as first-line treatment.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the difference in objective response rate (ORR) between adult patients with advanced biliary tract cancer assigned to nivolumab plus relatlimab 360 mg/360 mg in combination with GC or nivolumab plus GC as first-line treatment.

The primary endpoint will be evaluating ORR of nivolumab plus relatlimab 360 mg/360 mg in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with advanced BTC.

A total of 76 evaluable subjects will be required for the study, where an evaluable subject is defined as a participant who has at least one post-treatment imaging assessment that is considered evaluable. To account for potential drop-outs or subjects without evaluable post-treatment imaging, the planned enrollment target is approximately 84 subjects, assuming an estimated 10% drop-out rate. After a participant's initial eligibility is established and informed consent has been obtained, the participant will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the nivolumab + relatlimab + GC arm or the nivolumab + GC arm.

Randomization will be stratified by PD-L1 expression (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1 vs <1) and will be centrally assigned using a randomization table. Enrollment will not be restricted by evaluability at the time of registration; however, the number of evaluable subjects will be monitored throughout the trial. If the number of non-evaluable subjects exceeds the anticipated rate, additional participants may be enrolled to ensure that the target of 76 evaluable subjects is achieved.

Eligible patients will receive nivolumab 360 mg or nivolumab 360 mg plus relatlimab 360 mg on Day 1, along with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² and cisplatin 25 mg/m² on Days 1 and 8 of each 3-week cycle.

Nivolumab and relatlimab will be administered for a maximum of 2 years. Cisplatin will be given for a maximum of 8 cycles. Gemcitabine will be given continuously until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or patient withdrawal of consent at any time during the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Tumor response will be evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Tumor response will be evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1. Disease control is defined as having confirmed complete or partial response or stable disease for at least 12 weeks.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

  2. Duration of response (DOR)

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Safety profiles

    Any toxicity other than hematology and biochemistry assessment shall be recorded and graded according to NCI-CTCAE v 5.0.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nivolumab, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in people with Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer(BTC), run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 18 inclusion and 18 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2026. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to approximately 2 years). 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 2 Jul 2026.
