A Study of Second-line Treatment With Apatinib in Patients With Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Single Center, Single Arm, Open Study, to Explore and Evaluate Treatment of Apatinib in Patients With Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of second-line treatment of apatinib in advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients and evaluate drug safety, progression free and overall survival. The primary endpoint of this study is objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS).
