Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Metastatic disease 2. Prior surgery, systemic therapy, radiation therapy, chemoradiation, transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or selective intraarterial Radiotherapy (SIRT) for treatment of CCA. NOTE: Laparoscopy for diagnostic procedures is allowed. 3. Drug or alcohol addiction, medical or psychological condition that may interfere with the patient´s participation in the study 4. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational study drug (whatever the use, curative, prophylactic or diagnostic intent) within 30 days prior to enrollment 5. Pregnancy or breast feeding women 6. Regulatory and ethical criteria: - Patient who has been incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized by court order or by the authorities [§ 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 4 AMG]. - Patients who are unable to consent because they do not understand the nature, significance and implications of the clinical trial and therefore cannot form a rational intention in the light of the facts [§ 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 3a AMG]. 7. IMMUNOSUPRESSANTS: “Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following: a. intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intra-articular injection); b. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses = 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent; c. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication).” 8. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE: “Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate when receiving an immuno-stimulatory agent. Patients with diabetes type I, vitiligo, psoriasis, or hypo- or hyperthyroid diseases not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are eligible.” 9.

INFECTIONS: “Active infection requiring systemic therapy. “ 11. VACCINATION: has received or will receive a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first administration of study intervention. Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain a live virus are permitted. 12. HYPERSENSITIIVTY TO BINTRAFUSP ALFA: “Known severe hypersensitivity [Grade = 3 NCI CTCAE 5.0]) to investigational product bintrafusp alfa or any component in its formulations, any history of anaphylaxis, or recent, within 5 months, history of uncontrollable asthma. 13.
