About this study

To decide maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose of Gemcitabine or S-1 adjuvant therapy after hemihepatectomy

Read the detailed description

There is no standard adjuvant therapy after liver hemi-hepatectomy due to bile duct cancer, because of high surgical morbidity ratio and high adverse event ratio of adjuvant therapy. For example, our preliminary results showed that regular gemcitabine administration (1000mg/m2, day1, 8, 15 every 4 weeks) after hemihepatectomy was too toxic and induced severe leukocytopenia and/or thrombocytopenia. Herein, we planned this study to decide more safety adjuvant protocol(recommend dose) for gemcitabine and S-1 after hemihepatectomy using continual reassessment method analysis. In this study, we decided that tolerable ratio of dose-limiting toxicity would be less than 10%.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. frequency in adverse events

    The purpose of this study is to decide maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose. Recommended dose is a dose which would induce dose-limiting toxicity in 10% of participants. This will be calculated by continual reassessment method.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Gemcitabine and S-1 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 23 Oct 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 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.

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?

frequency in adverse events (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 NCT01291615, 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 23 Oct 2014.
