Study Description

The primary objectives are

(i) To describe the efficacy of PARPi and PDL1 inhibition in the maintenance setting of metastatic cholangiocarcinomas.

(ii) To refine selection of the patient population who are most likely to benefit from the combination of PDL1 (Durvalumab) and PARP (Olaparib) inhibition in the maintenance setting following initial chemotherapy (cisplatin + gemcitabine + Durvalumab) (post hoc translational analysis).

The secondary objectives are (i) To evaluate toxicity of the combination of durvalumab and olaparib. (ii) To evaluate progression-free and overall survival with the combination of durvalumab and olaparib (PFS, OS).
