ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called HNF4α srRNA for patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a type of liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective when given through an IV. Participants in the trial will receive the treatment on a specific schedule, starting with an initial dose followed by more doses every few weeks, depending on how well they tolerate it and their response to the drug.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that is not suitable for surgery or other local therapies. They should also have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks and meet certain health criteria. Those interested in participating should be aware that the trial is not yet recruiting, but it will involve regular monitoring to ensure safety and adjust dosages as needed. It's an important step in exploring new treatment options for this challenging disease.

• • 4. International normalized ratio (INR) \> 2.3.
• • 5. Poorly controlled hypertension, diabetes or other serious heart or lung diseases, or with serious dysfunction.
• • 6. Patients who have received local or systemic anti-tumor treatments such as ablation, Transhepatic Arterial Chemotherapy and Embolization (TACE), local radiotherapy of the liver, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, etc., within 4 weeks, or chemotherapy, other trial drugs, or radiotherapy of metastatic lesions within 2 weeks, except for treatment regimens assessed as disease progression according to RECIST v1.1.
• • 7. Patients with incurable brain metastasis.
• • 8. All toxicities related to prior locoregional or systemic anti-tumor treatments are still grade 2 or more (except for hair loss and other events that have been judged tolerable by researchers).
• • 9. Complication histories of liver cirrhosis or HCC such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, overt hepatic encephalopathy, or refractory ascites within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
• • 10. Uncontrolled active infection (eg, lung infections, or abdominal infections).
• • 11. History of malignancy other than HCC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year overall survival rate \> 90%), such as adequately treated early gastric carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, or localized prostate cancer.
