2022/11/30 NCT05644743 Not Yet Recruiting 40 Clinical Transformation of Organoid Model to Predict the Efficacy of GC in the Treatment of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma First, relevant organoids were constructed from puncture samples of unresectable ICC patients. Second, based on the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma organoid model, the clinical efficacy of GC regimens was predicted and in vitro and in vivo drug screening was performed to explore the significance of patient-derived tumor organoids in guiding clinical treatment. Then, the multi-omics data of organ tissues and in vitro and ex vivo drug efficacy evaluation models were used to explore the drug resistance genes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which provided the basis for individualized drug screening and efficacy evaluation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. 1. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

1. Consistency of organoids and clinical patient responses to drugs.

A total of 20 unresectable ICC patients were selected, and biopsies were performed before treatment to construct organoid models. All patients were treated with GC chemotherapy. Drug responses of organoids and clinical patients were compared to determine the feasibility of in vitro organoid culture as a drug screening platform. The samples of 3 patients who were sensitive to GC and 3 patients who were resistant to GC were sequenced to search for drug-resistant genes, and the differential drug-resistant genes were studied in vitro.

[Time Frame: 3 years]

2. Construction of a drug resistance prediction model.

A total of 20 patients with advanced unresectable ICC were selected to verify whether they participated in drug resistance by combining 1–2 drug resistance genes previously screened and the currently recognized platinum-based drug resistance genes. The results were compared with those of organoid models to build an organoid-based drug resistance prediction model.
