The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining the drug pembrolizumab with the standard first-line chemotherapy treatment of gemcitabine and cisplatin for biliary tract carcinoma will more effectively fight your cancer than the standard chemotherapy treatment alone. Pembrolizumab is thought to work by preventing cells within the immune system that fight tumors from dying.
