Brief Summary: BACKGROUND

Various tumor ablative procedures and techniques have been shown to result in immunogenic cell death and induction of a peripheral immune response The term ablative therapies applies to trans-arterial catheter chemoembolization TACE radiofrequency ablation RFA and cryoablation CA
The underlying hypothesis of this study is that the effect of immune checkpoint inhibition can be enhanced by TACE CA and RFA in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma HCC and biliary tract carcinomas BTC We have already demonstrated proof of principle as well as safety and feasibility of this approach with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 CTLA-4 therapy
Based on the concept of programmed death-ligand 1 PDL1-mediated adaptive resistance and the emerging role of programmed cell death protein 1 PD1 therapy in HCC we would like to evaluate the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab with ablative therapies in HCC and BTC

Objectives

- To preliminarily evaluate the 6-month progression free survival PFS of combining tremelimumab and durvalumab in patients with advanced HCC either alone or with cryoablation TACE or RFA and in patients with advanced biliary tract carcinoma BTC either alone or with cryoablation or RFA

ELIGIBILITY

Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC or biliary tract carcinoma OR histopathological confirmation of carcinoma in the setting of clinical and radiological characteristics which together with the pathology are highly suggestive of a diagnosis of HCC or biliary tract carcinoma
Childs-Pugh AB7 cirrhosis only is allowed If patient does not have cirrhosis this limitation does not apply
Patients must have disease that is not amenable to potentially curative resection radiofrequency ablation or liver transplantation

DESIGN

We will evaluate the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab with ablative therapies in cohorts A HCC N40 and B BTC N30 The first N10 patients in both cohorts will receive tremelimumab and durvalumab only ie No interventional radiologic procedures
