About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Phase II Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Pemigatinib in Combination With a PD-1 Inhibitor, With or Without Chemotherapy, in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma Harboring FGFR2 Fusions or Rearrangements

This is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study. Patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma harboring FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements who have either not previously received standard therapy or have experienced treatment failure following standard therapy will be screened for eligibility and enrolled in the study after providing written informed consent.

What participants receive

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

  • PemigatinbDrug

    Pemigatinib will be administered orally once daily in a self-administered manner. Each treatment cycle will consist of 21 days, including 14 consecutive days of treatment followed by a 7-day treatment-free period. The dose will be 13.5 mg once daily.

  • PD-1 inhibitorsDrug

    PD-1 inhibitors are not restricted to a specific agent. Commonly used agents include pembrolizumab and toripalimab. PD-1 inhibitors will be administered by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W). The recommended doses are 200 mg for pembrolizumab and 240 mg for toripalimab. The dosage and administration of other PD-1 inhibitors will be based on the respective product labeling.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    The decision to administer combination chemotherapy will be made by the investigator based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's performance status, organ function, and personal preferences. Combination chemotherapy is generally recommended as part of the standard treatment regimen; however, it may be omitted in patients who are unable to tolerate chemotherapy due to poor general condition or impaired organ function. If combination chemotherapy is administered, the chemotherapeutic agents will be given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle, with one cycle consisting of 3 weeks (Q3W). The most commonly used chemotherapy regimen is the GEMOX regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS, progression free survival

    Progression-Free Survival was defined as the time from treatment initiation to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Proportion of participants with a best overall response of complete response or partial response according to RECIST version 1.1, as assessed by investigators. Tumor assessments were performed at baseline, every two treatment cycles during induction (each treatment cycle was 21 days), and approximately every 6-9 weeks during maintenance.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of last tumor assessment, with tumor response evaluated every 6-9 weeks up to 24 months; objective response is defined as confirmed CR or PR per RECIST v1.1 criteria.

  2. Disease control rate

    Proportion of participants with a best overall response of complete response, partial response, or stable disease according to RECIST version 1.1, as assessed by investigators. Tumor assessments were performed at baseline, every two treatment cycles during induction (each treatment cycle was 21 days), and approximately every 6-9 weeks during maintenance.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of last tumor assessment, with disease status evaluated every 6-9 weeks up to 24 months; disease control is defined as confirmed CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1 criteria.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause or the date of last valid follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

  4. Safety and Tolerability

    The incidence, type, and severity of adverse events, treatment-related adverse events, serious adverse events, and clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results and vital signs. Adverse events were graded according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0.

    Measured: From the date of first study drug administration until 30 days after the date of last study drug administration, with all adverse events monitored and documented continuously throughout the treatment period and post-treatment follow-up.

  5. DoR, duration of response

    DoR was measured from the date of the first documented objective tumor response (per RECIST 1.1 criteria) to the date of the first documented progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of first confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until the date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemigatinb, PD-1 inhibitors and Chemotherapy in people with Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC), run by Haitao Zhao, MD 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 25 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 26 Aug 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 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?

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?

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 Shi Feng (+86-10-69156042, fengshi0726@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS, progression free survival (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.). 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 26 Aug 2026.
