Plain-language summary
This is a single-arm, multi-centre, phase II study in biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients. The main objective is to detect an increase in progression-free survival rate at 6 months (according to RECIST version 1.1) from 60% in patients with BTC treated with standard chemotherapy (CT) approach to 75% when treated with CT combined with pembrolizumab.

Inclusion Criteria:
* A histopathological / cytological diagnosis of non-resectable or recurrent / metastatic biliary tract carcinoma (intra- or extra-hepatic) or gallbladder
* Availability of archival FFPE tumor tissue for biobanking
* Measurable disease by CT/MRI (RECIST 1.1) within 28 days of enrollment
* ECOG performance status 0, 1
* Age ≥ 18 with estimated life expectancy \>3 months
* Adequate hematological function: screening labs should be performed within 14 days (± 3 days) prior to enrollment:
* Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dl\* (prior transfusions for patients with low hemoglobin are allowed)
* White blood cell (WBC) ≥ 3.0 x 109/L
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
* Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L
* Adequate liver function: screening labs should be performed within 14 days (± 3 days) prior to enrollment:
* Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* ALT and/or AST \& alkaline phosphatase ≤ 5 x ULN
* Adequate renal function: screening labs should be performed within 14 days (± 3 days) prior to enrollment:
* Serum creatinine \< 1.5 x ULN
* and a calculated GFR ≥ 45 mL/min (using Cockcroft-Gault formula). If the calculated GFR is below 45 mL/min, isotope EDTA confirmation of adequate renal function is required (see Appendix F). If isotope EDTA methods are not available, then a 24-hour urine creatinine clearance can be used.
* Adequate coagulation: screening labs should be performed within 14 days (± 3 days) prior to enrollment:
* International Normalized Ra…
