Brief Summary
This project aims to conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial. The study plans to enroll 270 patients with locally advanced iCCA who have successfully undergone GOLP conversion therapy. Participants will be randomized at a 1:2:2 ratio into three arms: Control Arm (continued medication), Direct Surgery Arm, and TDTP-RECIST Assessment Arm. The primary endpoint is Overall Survival (OS).

Study Arms (3)
Medication Group
PLACEBO COMPARATORUpon randomization, patients will continue to receive the GOLP regimen for up to 8 cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with lenvatinib plus toripalimab for one year, until disease progression, withdrawal from the study, or the occurrence of intolerable toxicity.
Surgery Group
EXPERIMENTALSurgical resection is to be performed within 2-4 weeks after randomization, followed by adjuvant therapy with capecitabine at a dose of 1250 mg/m² twice daily, administered orally for eight cycles (each cycle consists of 14 days of medication followed by a 7-day rest period, constituting a 3-week treatment cycle).
TDTP Group
EXPERIMENTALFollowing randomization, patients will be evaluated using the TDTP-RECIST system. Those who meet the predetermined cutoff value (63%) will proceed to surgical resection. Patients not meeting the cutoff value will continue the GOLP regimen for up to 8 cycles, during which those who subsequently meet the cutoff value will undergo surgery. Postoperative adjuvant therapy will consist of capecitabine (1250 mg/m², BID, orally) for eight cycles (each cycle: 14 days on, 7 days off, constituting a 3-week cycle). Patients who do not meet the cutoff value after 8 cycles of GOLP therapy will receive maintenance therapy with lenvatinib plus toripalimab for up to one year or until intolerable toxicity occurs.
Interventions
PD1 antibody (Toripalimab) combined with GEMOX chemotherapy and Lenvatinib neoadjuvant treatment
Treatment selection between continued GOLP therapy and surgical R0 resection based on TDTP-RECIST criteria.
