Brief Summary
Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Sintilimab Plus Bevacizumab and AG Regimen as First-Line Therapy in Patients with Surgically Ineligible Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma Objectives: Primary Objective: To assess the objective response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1. Secondary Objectives:
- 1.To evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1.
- 2.To determine the duration of response (DOR) per RECIST v1.1.
- 3.To measure progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1.
- 4.To characterize the safety profile.
- 5.To determine overall survival (OS) .

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Tumor assessments are based on RECIST 1.1. Imaging modalities for this evaluation require: Mandatory scans (each cycle): Contrast-enhanced CT or MRI of the chest and abdomen Baseline assessments (within 28 days ): Contrast-enhanced CT/MRI of the pelvis Brain MRI Whole-body bone scan Additional baseline imaging if clinically indicated: Contrast-enhanced neck CT (if cervical lymphadenopathy present) PET/CT protocol: Acceptable for baseline screening only Any abnormal findings must undergo confirmatory anatomical imaging (CT/MRI) for target lesion designation
From baseline (within 28 days prior to enrollment) through disease progression or study completion, up to approximately 2 years.

Study Cohort
OTHERInterventions
Patients receive sintilimab (200mg IV Q3W) combined with bevacizumab (15mg/kg IV Q3W) and the AG regimen (albumin-bound paclitaxel + gemcitabine). AG chemotherapy is administered for a total of 8 cycles. After completion of chemotherapy, patients continue sintilimab plus bevacizumab maintenance therapy until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of new antitumor therapy, or other protocol-specified reasons for treatment discontinuation, with a maximum treatment duration of 24 months.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Signed written informed consent prior to any trial-related procedures.
- Male or female aged \*\*≥18 years and ≤75 years\*\*.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed, surgically unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.
- No prior systemic therapy; subjects who completed postoperative adjuvant therapy \*\*\>6 months ago\*\* are eligible.
- Life expectancy \>3 months.
- At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
- ECOG PS score 0 or 1.
- Adequate organ function (all laboratory criteria below must be met):
- (1)Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \*\*≥1.5×10⁹/L\*\* without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor within 14 days; (2)Platelets \*\*≥90×10⁹/L\*\* without transfusion within 14 days; (3)Hemoglobin \*\*\>9 g/dL\*\* without transfusion/recombinant erythropoietin within 14 days; (4)Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; (5)AST/ALT ≤2.5×ULN (≤5×ULN allowed if liver metastases present); (6)Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN AND creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) \*\*≥60 mL/min\*\*; (7)INR or PT ≤1.5×ULN; (8)TSH within normal range; OR if abnormal, total T3 (or FT3) AND FT4 within normal limits; (9)Cardiac enzymes within normal limits (isolated abnormalities deemed clinically insignificant by investigator are allowed).
- \. For women of childbearing potential:
- (1)Negative urine/serum pregnancy test within 3 days before Cycle 1 Day 1 (confirm equivocal urine tests with serum testing).
- (2)Non-childbearing potential defined as:
- Postmenopausal (≥1 year amenorrhea), OR
- Surgically sterilized/hysterectomy. 10. All subjects (regardless of gender) at conception risk must use contraception with \<1% annual failure rate during treatment and for 120 days after last dose.
You may not qualify if:
- Other malignancies within 5 years prior to first dose (excluding radically cured basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, or carcinoma in situ).
- Current participation in interventional clinical trials or receipt of other investigational drugs/devices within 4 weeks before first dose.
- Prior therapy with:
- <!-- -->
- Anti-PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 agents;
- Drugs targeting stimulatory/co-inhibitory T-cell receptors (e.g., CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137).
- \. Systemic administration of antitumor Chinese herbal medicines or immunomodulators (e.g., thymosin, interferon, interleukin) within 2 weeks (except localized use for pleural effusion).
- \. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within 2 years (e.g., disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids ≥10 mg/day prednisone equivalent, immunosuppressants).
- Known primary immunodeficiency;
- Isolated autoantibody positivity requires investigator confirmation of no autoimmune disease.
- \. Systemic glucocorticoids (excluding topical/inhaled) or immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks.Note: Physiologic-dose steroids (≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) permitted.
- \. Prior anti-angiogenic therapy (e.g., bevacizumab). 8. Active bleeding within 3 months prior to first dose:
- Hemoptysis (≥2.5 mL/fresh blood episode);
- Gastrointestinal bleeding. 9. High bleeding risk: Tumor invasion of major vessels or radiologist/investigator-assessed bleeding tendency.
- \. Major surgery within 4 weeks (excluding biopsy). 11. Severe unhealed wounds/ulcers/fractures. 12. Aspirin (\>325 mg/day) or platelet-inhibiting NSAIDs for \>10 consecutive days within 10 days prior to first dose.
