Prognosis for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains poor. Treatment combination known as Gemox (systemic chemotherapy of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin), along with lenvatinib and toripalimab, has shown favor results for ICC patients. However, Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy (HAIC), which delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver, has also demonstrated benefits in controlling the cancer locally and improving survival for patients with ICC. Based on these promising approaches, this study aims to find out if adding HAIC to the systemic chemotherapy-based treatment can help extending patients survival.

6-months PFS
6-months Progression-Free Survival Rate (6-months PFS rate) is defined as the proportion of patients who remain alive and free from disease progression (as assessed by RECIST v1.1) at 6 months from the initiation of study randomization.
Time frame: 6 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST. CR was defined as disappearance of any intratumoral arterial enhancement in all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of viable (enhancement of arterial phase) target lesions taking as reference to the baseline sum of the diameters of target lesions.
Time frame: 18 months
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. Participants who were lost to follow-up were censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive, and participants who remained alive were censored at the time of data cutoff.
Time frame: 18 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression based on modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), or date of death, whichever occurred first.
Time frame: 18 months
Adverse Events
Number of adverse events. Postoperative adverse events were graded based on CTCAE v5.0
Time frame: 30 days
