Study Summary

Study design: Prospective, single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study; Primary endpoint: Objective response rate via investigator, Safety; Secondary endpoints: disease control rate, disease-free survival, overall survival, and proportion of acceptable radical resection of primary lesions; Main characteristics of enrolled patients: Patients with initially unresectable gallbladder cancer; Interventions: Combination of Gemcitabine, Nab-paclitaxel, Sintilimab and Bevacizumab; Sample size: Using Simon's two-stage design, 15 patients in the first stage, and if more than 4pts response, enlarge the sample size to 45 patients in total; Treatment until: 1. successfully conversed to resectable disease 2. progressed disease 3. intolerable toxicity 4. patient requests withdrawal; Research process: In this study, patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated at the end of every 9 weeks of treatment, up to surgical treatment or disease progression; Safety evaluation: Evaluate adverse reactions according to CTCAE 5.0; Follow up: every 90 days (±7 days) until the subject died, lost follow-up or the end of the study.

If theurine pregnancy test result cannot be confirmed negative, a blood pregnancy test willbe ordered. Women of non-reproductive age are defined as postmenopausal for at least 1year, or who have undergone surgical sterilization or hysterectomy 10. If there is arisk of pregnancy, all subjects (regardless of male or female) need to usecontraceptive measures with an annual failure rate of less than 1% during the entiretreatment period until 120 days after the last study drug administration

Exclusion Criteria:
