A Single-Arm Study of Pembrolizumab With Gemcitabine and Cisplatin as Perioperative Therapy for Potentially Resectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Is NCT05967182 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Pembrolizumab and Gemcitabine for cholangiocarcinoma.

Phase 2RecruitingM.D. Anderson Cancer CenterNCT05967182Data as of Jun 2026

Treatment: Pembrolizumab · Gemcitabine · CisplatinTo find out if adding pembrolizumab to standard of care chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin and gemcitabine) will improve long-term response of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after surgery, compared to treatment with surgery and standard chemotherapy alone.
