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 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract (gallbladder, intra and/or extrahepatic bile ducts, or ampulla of Vater):
  • Cytologically or histologically confirmed. In case of uncertain biliary tract origin (e.g., intrahepatic, peripheral cholangiocarcinomas), inclusion is possible if i) extensive search for primary (thoracic and abdominopelvic CT scan, colonoscopy, upper digestive endoscopy, serum PSA level for men or mammography for women, and FDG-PET if possible) is negative; and ii) histological examination is consistent with bile duct adenocarcinoma (IHC should ideally be performed and be consistent with biliary primary, e.g., positive for cytokeratin 7 and 19 and negative for cytokeratin 20).
  • not amenable to curative resection, or recurrent after resection (i.e., locally advanced or metastatic),
  • With at least one unidimensionally measurable target lesion in a non-irradiated, non-PDT-treated area (longest diameter 1 cm [spiral CT scan]), or 2 cm [conventional CT scan]).
  • With biliary obstruction controlled,
  • Age between 18 and 75 years.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • World Health Organization (WHO) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy higher than 3 months.
  • No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Previous adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed (completed at least 6 months previously, if containing gemcitabine or platinum salts). Previous irradiation (external radiotherapy, brachytherapy) and PDT are allowed provided that there is at least one unidimensionally measurable target lesion in untreated area.
  • Bilirubin 3 times the upper limit of the normal range (ULN). Pts with jaundice or evidence of bile duct obstruction, in whom the biliary tree can be decompressed by endoscopic or percutaneous endoprothesis with subsequent reduction in bilirubin £ 3 ULN, will be eligible for the study.
  • Aminotransferases (AST, ALT) 5 ULN, INR < 1.5 (following vitamin K1 injection in patients with current or recent history of jaundice or bile duct obstruction), creatinine 1.5 ULN, neutrophils 1.5 109/L, platelets 100 109/L, hemoglobin 9 g/dL (red blood cell transfusion if needed is allowed).
  • Written informed consent. Note: EGFR tumor status has to be known for every pt, but it is neither an inclusion/exclusion criterion nor a stratification factor. EGFR expression has to be assessed by IHC using biopsy or surgical material, at any time prior to inclusion into the study.

Who cannot join

  • Known central nervous system metastases.
  • Contraindication or history of grade 3-4 allergy reaction to one treatment component.
  • Surgery (except diagnostic biopsy), external radiotherapy, brachytherapy, or PDT within 30 days prior to start of treatment. Prior adjuvant chemotherapy is only allowed if completed at least 30 days previously (6 months if containing gemcitabine or platinum salts).
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to start of treatment.
  • Concomitant systemic chronic immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or antitumor hormone therapy.
  • Previous administration of EGFR inhibitors or EGF.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Active uncontrolled infection, peripheral neuropathy grade 2, acute or subacute bowel obstruction or history of inflammatory bowel disease, symptomatic coronary disease or myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, congestive heart failure (NYHA class II), interstitial pneumonitis or respiratory failure, or renal failure.
  • Pregnancy (or positive b-HCG dosage at baseline), breast-feeding, or lack of effective contraception in male or female pts of reproductive potential.
  • Other malignancies either currently active or in the last 5 years, except adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix and basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma.
  • Legal incapacity or physical, psychological or mental status interfering with the pt's ability to terminate the study or to sign the informed consent.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Trial Assessing the Activity of Gemcitabine - Oxaliplatin Chemotherapy Alone or in Combination With Cetuximab in Patients With Advanced Biliary Cancer.

A Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Trial Assessing the Activity of Gemcitabine - Oxaliplatin Chemotherapy Alone or in Combination with Cetuximab in Patients with Advanced Biliary Cancer.

Read the detailed description

The BINGO trial is an open-label randomized phase II study evaluating the efficacy and tolerance of gemcitabine-oxaliplatin combination chemotherapy (GEMOX regimen) alone or in combination with cetuximab in patients (pts) with ABC. The BINGO study also comprises ancillary translational research and functional imaging studies which aim to identify markers predictive for treatment efficacy in ABC.

All eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive:

  • Arm A: GEMOX alone every two weeks.
  • Arm B: GEMOX + cetuximab every two weeks.

Randomization will be stratified according to:

  1. tumor stage (locally advanced vs metastatic),
  2. primary tumor location (gallbladder vs non-gallbladder),
  3. prior treatments (surgery or radiotherapy or brachytherapy or photodynamic therapy [PDT] or adjuvant chemotherapy vs none),
  4. center. EGFR tumor status has to be assessed for every pt by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using biopsy or surgical material, at any time prior to inclusion into the study, but it is neither an inclusion/exclusion criterion nor a stratification factor.
Being tested
Gemox, Cetuximab

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gemox, CetuximabDrug

    GEMOX (Arms 1 and 2), every two weeks:

    Day 1: gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² intravenous (IV) infusion over 100 minutes (10 mg/m²/min) Day 2: oxaliplatin 100 mg/m² IV infusion over 2 h

    Cetuximab (ErbituxÒ) (Arm B only) every two weeks:

    (chemotherapy will be started one hour after the end of the cetuximab infusion).

    Day 1 or Day 2: 500 mg/m² IV infusion over 150 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemox, Cetuximab in people with Advanced Biliary Cancer, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. 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 13 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Evaluation of treatment efficacy by assessing the crude progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 4 months (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00552149, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jun 2012.
