Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult
  • Histologically proven, locally advanced or metastatic carcinoma of the biliary tract (gallbladder, intrahepatic bile ducts, extrahepatic bile ducts, ampula of Vater)
  • For intrahepatic bile ducts, if the diagnosis of biliary tract origin is not evident by imaging or surgical exploration, and so equivalent to liver metastasis with unknown primary site, inclusion is possible if:
  • unknown primary after an exhaustive search for the primary site (chest radiography- , thoracic and abdomino pelvic CT scan, colonoscopy, oesogastroduodenal endoscopy, PSA determination for men or mammography for women, and PET scan if possible).
  • histological examination compatible with adenocarcinoma of bile ducts with the immunostaining expression of cytokeratin : 7+, 20- and 19 +. (Shimonishi, 2000 ^22)
  • No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease (first line)
  • No radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first gemcitabine administration.
  • Unidimensionally measurable disease.
  • For female patient of childbearing potential, neither pregnant nor breastfeeding, and under active contraception
  • No known allergy to one of the study drugs
  • No prior malignancy
  • No CNS metastases
  • No peripheral neuropathy > grade 2
  • ECOG PS <=2
  • ANC > 1.5 X 10^9 /L
  • Platelets > 100 X 10^9 /L
  • Creatinine < 1.5 x ULN
  • SGPT (ALT) < 5 x ULN
  • Bilirubin < 2.5 x ULN (patients with jaundice or evidence of bile duct obstruction and in whom the biliary tree can be decompressed by endoscopic percutaneous endoprothesis, with subsequent reduction in bilirubin < 2.5 x ULN will be eligible for the study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing oxaliplatin in people with Biliary Tract Neoplasms, run by Sanofi.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate response rate according to RECIST criteria. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2012.
