Brief summary
The study hypothesis is that liver transplantation after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy would improve 3-year overall survival in patients with locally advanced (unresectable but non-metastatic) intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. It is planned to include 36 patients with locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, not eligible for initial surgery and without metastases. Participants will be recruited from care facilities in France.
Detailed description
The hypothesis of the study is that liver transplantation after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy would improve the overall 3-year survival of patients with locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (unresectable but not metastatic). All patients over 18 and under 65 years of age with histologically evidence, pauci-nodular (N≤5), locally advanced Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) without extrahepatic involvement, considered technically unresectable by a panel of experts, eligible for treatment with SIRT, gemcitabine + cisplatin chemotherapy and Liver Transplant (LT). Following treatment with SIRT + chemotherapy, tumor response or absence of tumor progression will be verified by a morphological workup combining CT-imaging, hepatic MRI and PET-CT. After exploratory surgery to rule out any contraindications for LT, the patient will be list , with a minimum waiting of 3-month Follow-up will include assesment of Liver graft function, efficiency and tolerance of immunosuppressive therapy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |

| Strategy efficacy : 3 years overall survival | 3 years post-transplant | To assess the 3-year overall survival of patients undergoing liver transplantation for stable or downstaged locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after induction treatment with selective internal radiotherapy and chemotherapy. |
Secondary

|---|---|---|
| Strategy feasibility 1/2 | Liver transplantation | Number of patients benefiting from the complete strategy implemented |
| Strategy feasibility 2/2 contraindication to transplantation | Liver transplantation | Number of patients with radiological tumor progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria after neoadjuvant treatment contraindicating transplantation |
| Associated factors with the 3-years overall survival | 3 years after strategy implementation | Socio-demographic and clinico-radio-biological characteristics at baseline and follow-up of living patients 3 years after strategy implementation. |
| therapeutic efficacy at 3 years | 3 years after strategy implementation | Number of transplant patients alive and free of recurrence at 3 years after strategy implementation, as well as their socio-demographic and clinico-radiobiological characteristics at baseline and follow-up. |
| therapeutic efficacy at 5 years | 5 years after strategy implementation | Number of transplanted patients alive 5 years after the strategy was implemented and number of transplanted patients alive and free of recurrence for the same period;. |
| oncological prognosis1/2 | after 8 courses of chemotherapy | Number of patients not transplanted alive at 3 years (with or without recurrence) |
| oncological prognosis 2/2 | 5 years after strategy implementation | Time to onset, type and location of recurrence in transplanted and non-transplanted patients |
| Histological response | 1 year after strategy implementation | Rate of tumor necrosis on total hepatectomy specimens in transplant patients |
| Tolerance of neoadjuvant treatment | after 8 courses of chemotherapy | Number and type of adverse events induced by neoadjuvant therapy |
| quality of life monitoring | from induction therapy until 5 years post-transplant | Changes in scores on the SF-36 quality-of-life questionnaire administered after neoadjuvant treatment prior to TH and then annually between the first and fifth years of follow-up |
| Tolerance of global strategy | from induction therapy until 3 months post-transplant | Number of adverse events of grade greater than or equal to 3 (NCI CTCAE) during neoadjuvant treatment + Number of severe complications greater than or equal to 3 of the Clavien-Dindo classification within 90 days of TH. |
