Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Patients who are at least 18 years of age at the time consent is obtained. (2)Patients with histologically confirmed unresectable advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the biliary system, including intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct cancer and gallbladder cancer. However, papillary carcinoma is excluded. (3) Patients with an expected prognosis of at least 3 months. (4) If the disease is unresectable or metastatic at the time of initial diagnosis, patients with untreated disease are eligible. However, if surgery for curative purposes is performed, patients who relapse more than six months later and, if applicable, more than six months after completion of postoperative adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy) are eligible. (5) Patients with a World Health Organization (WHO)/ECOG PS of 0 or 1. (6) Patients with at least one target lesion as per the new guidelines for determining response to treatment of solid tumors (RECIST) edition 1.1. (7) Patients with no prior immunotherapy with anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, including but not limited to. However, anti-cancer vaccines used for therapeutic purposes are excluded. (8) Patients with adequate organ function, bone marrow function and coagulation capacity who fulfil the following conditions. Hb 9.0 g and more Absolute neutrophil count 1500 and more Platelet count 100000 and more Serum bilirubin 2.0 and less times the upper limit of the institutional reference value (ULN). This condition does not apply to patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome, but the clinically problematic bile duct obstruction must be corrected. ALT and AST less than 2.5 times the ULN. For patients with liver metastases, ALT and AST less than 5 times the ULN. Patients with creatinine clearance more than 50 mL/min based on 24 hour urine collection or calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula below (using actual body weight). (9) Body weight more than 30 kg. (10) Patients who are competent to comply with the requirements and limitations described in the consent document and the study protocol and have signed the consent document in their own handwriting.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients with tumours originating in the vastus diaphragmaticus (duodenal papillary region). (2) Patients with a history of allogeneic organ transplantation. (3) Patients with current or previous autoimmune or inflammatory diseases (inflammatory bowel disease [e.g. colitis or Crohn's disease]), diverticulitis except diverticulosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis syndrome or Wegener's syndrome (granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis etc. are identified patients. However, the following may be included. Patients with vitiligo or alopecia. Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g. after Hashimoto's disease), which is stable during hormone replacement therapy. Patients with chronic skin diseases not requiring systemic treatment. Patients with no active disease within 5 years prior to consent. Patients with coeliac disease controlled by diet alone. (4) Patients with poorly controlled co-morbidities such as, but not limited to, uncured or active infections, symptomatic congestive heart failure, poorly controlled hypertension, unstable angina, poorly controlled arrhythmias, active interstitial lung disease (ILD) and severe chronic gastrointestinal disease with diarrhoea. (but not limited to). (5) Patients with a history of another primary malignancy. However, the following are excluded. Malignant tumours that have been treated with the aim of cure, have not been confirmed as active for at least 5 years prior to the start of treatment in this study and have a low risk of recurrence. Skin cancers other than melanoma or lentigo maligna that have been adequately treated and for which there is no evidence of disease. Intraepithelial carcinoma that has been adequately treated and for which there is no evidence of disease. (6) Patients with a history of soft meningeal carcinomatosis. (7) Patients with a history of active primary immunodeficiency. (8) Patients with active infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB confirmed by history, clinical evaluation including examination and radiological findings and TB test) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1/2 antibody positive). (9) Patients who have not had resolution of National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 2 or higher toxicity (excluding alopecia, vitiligo vulgaris and laboratory tests specified in the selection criteria) resulting from previous anticancer therapy. However, the following are excluded a.Patients who develop grade 2 or higher neuropathy can be individually assessed and included only after consultation with the study office. b.Patients with irreversible toxicities that it is reasonable to expect will not be exacerbated by the administration of gemcitabine, cisplatin or durvalumab may be individually assessed and included only after consultation with the study office. (10) Patients with brain metastases or spinal cord compression (including asymptomatic and appropriately treated disease). In patients with suspected brain metastases at screening, an MRI (recommended) or CT scan of the brain should be performed prior to enrolment (both tests should be performed using intravenous contrast media). (11) Patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to gemcitabine, cisplatin, durvalumab or their additives. (12) Patients receiving any combination of chemotherapy, investigational therapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for the treatment of cancer. However, concomitant hormonal t
