PURPOSE: The aim of the present study is to report the clinical results of patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) who received combination therapy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), toripalimab and surufatinib. METHODS: The study cohort consisted of 28 patients with advanced ICC who were treated with HAIC (mFOLFOX6 regimen, Q3W) in combination with intravenous toripalimab (240 mg, Q3W) and oral surufatinib (150 mg, once daily). The cohort had 14 male and 14 female patients. The baseline characteristics of the study cohort were obtained. The tumor response and drug-associated toxicity were assessed and reported. RESULTS: During the follow-up period (median follow-up time: 11.3 months
range: 4-19 months), four patients died of tumor progression. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 58% and 79%, respectively. The mPFS was 9.5 months, and the overall survival rate was 83.3%. The most frequent adverse events were nausea and vomiting (100%) and abdominal pain (85.7%). Serious complications related to death were not observed. CONCLUSION: The combination treatment schedule for advanced ICC demonstrated positive efficacy and safety profiles. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides promising clinical guidance for the treatment of advanced cholangiocarcinoma and is expected to modify the treatment strategy for this disease.
