This is a prospective, single arm, open label, non-randomized, exploratory, multi-centre pilot study with median progression free survival as primary outcome. In total 28 patients (including 3 calculated drop outs and invalid cases) with advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma after failure of a gemcitabine based first-line therapy will be enrolled at 5 centres. To examine the efficacy of a combination therapy of Trifluridine/Tipiracil and Irinotecan in patients with advanced, non resectable or metastatic cholangio- and gallbladder carcinoma after failure to respond to a previous gemcitabine treatment. The study will be accompanied by a translational research program: Before treatment and after each radiological tumor assessment (Q6W) blood and stool will be collected and extensive panels of biomarkers will be accessed.

Patients will be treated until radiological progression. In average this will be about 4 months. A follow up is planned every 3 months up to 6 months to asses life quality and progression data.

Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) and Irinotecan * Trifluridine/Tipiracil will be administered at a dose of 25 mg/m2 / dose twice daily on days 1-5 followed by a 9-days recovery period from day 6 trough day 14 of each 14-days treatment cycle. * Irinotecan will be administered at the same time as Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) on day 1 of each cycle at a dose of 180 mg/m2 / dose.
