Notes
Three anatomically and biologically distinct subtypes; actionable alterations cluster in intrahepatic. Resectable: surgery + adjuvant capecitabine 6 months (BILCAP). Liver transplant for selected pCCA after Mayo neoadjuvant protocol (chemo-radiation + brachy → exam-under-anesthesia → transplant). Advanced 1L: gemcitabine + cisplatin + durvalumab (TOPAZ-1) replaced gem-cis monotherapy as standard. Pembrolizumab + gem-cis is an alternative (KEYNOTE-966). Advanced 2L+ by genotype (intrahepatic CCA enrichment): - FGFR2 fusion / rearrangement (~10–20% iCCA): pemigatinib (FIGHT-202) or futibatinib (FOENIX-CCA2) — both FDA-approved. Hyperphosphatemia is on-target effect. - IDH1 R132 (~15% iCCA): ivosidenib (ClarIDHy) — modest PFS benefit. - HER2 IHC 3+ / amplified (~5–10% perihilar/distal): trastuzumab + pertuzumab (MyPathway) or trastuzumab deruxtecan (DESTINY-PanTumor02); zanidatamab (HERIZON-BTC-01). - BRAF V600E (~5%): dabrafenib + trametinib (ROAR — tumor-agnostic). - MSI-H / dMMR (~2–3%): pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-158). - NTRK fusion (rare): larotrectinib / entrectinib. Bile-duct decompression / drainage management is parallel concern; cholangitis / biliary stent dysfunction is the mo...
