Summary

This trial tests a combination of two drugs, olaparib and pembrolizumab, in patients with advanced bile duct cancer who haven't responded to standard treatment. Olaparib makes it harder for cancer cells to repair themselves, while pembrolizumab helps the immune system attack the cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can improve treatment response rates and extend patient survival.
