About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin/S-1(GCS) Combination Therapy for Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of GCS therapy for phase I and efficacy of GCS therapy for phase II.

Read the detailed description

Biliary tract cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with surgery representing the only potentially curative treatment for this disease. However, many patients are diagnosed too late for curative resection, and even if surgery can be performed, the likelihood of relapse is very high. Over the past decade, gemcitabine has been widely used to treat unresectable or recurrent biliary tract cancer patients. In the ABC-02 study, the first prospective multicenter phase III study in this field, gemcitabine/cisplatin combination chemotherapy was compared with gemcitabine monotherapy and found that the combination regimen significantly prolonged MST (from 8.1 to 11.7 months; P < 0.001). Gemcitabine/cisplatin combination therapy is now considered to be the standard regimen for advanced biliary tract cancer. S-1 is an oral fluoropyrimidine prodrug that has confirmed efficacy against various solid tumors, both alone and in combination with other cytotoxic drugs. S-1 monotherapy has yielded good results against advanced biliary tract cancer and gemcitabine/S-1 combination therapy has yielded promising results with acceptable toxicity levels for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. In this study, we aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of adding S-1 to gemcitabine/cisplatin combination regimen for advanced biliary tract cancer.

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

  • S-1, Gemcitabine, CisplatinDrug

    Also called S-1;TS-1, Gemcitabine;gemzer, Cisplatin;Cispulan

    S-1 is given daily for 7 consecutive days and gemcitabine and cisplatin are infused on day1. The cycle is repeated every 2 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing S-1, Gemcitabine, Cisplatin in people with Biliary Tract Cancer, run by Kansai Hepatobiliary Oncology Group at 1 site in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 1 Jul 2014. 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 Japan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

one year survival rate (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01284413, 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 1 Jul 2014.
