About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin in Combination With Panitumumab in Kras/B-raf Wild-Type Unresectable or Metastatic Biliary Track and Gallbladder Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine disease response of GEMOX-Panitumumab (GEMOX-P) in KRAS/ BRAF wild-type, Stage IV, biliary tract and gallbladder cancer patients who have previously not received chemotherapy. This study will also examine the potential toxicities, progression-free and overall survival in this population.

Being tested
Panitumumab, oxaliplatin, gemcitabine
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Participants With Response to GEMOX-Panitumumab (GEMOX-P) in Chemotherapy naïve KRAS/ BRAF Wild Type Stage IV Biliary Tract Cancer Using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria.

    Tumor measurement - same imaging modality used in pre-treatment evaluation - include radiological examination of all areas with affected disease. For pretreatment and at the end of cycle 2 CT scans (chest/abdomen/pelvis) will be used. For all subsequent cycles, CT of chest/abdomen/pelvis will be used every 8 weeks.

    Measured: end of cycle 2 of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Median Progression Free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from study enrollment to date of cancer progression or death, whichever occurred first. Progression was assessed using CT scans and the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors criteria. Progression is defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: time to cancer progression or death

  2. Median Overall Survival

    Death from any cause was used.

    Measured: enrollment until date of death

  3. The Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event

    Any adverse event continuing after the study completion and considered potentially related to study treatment will be followed until resolution, stabilization or initiation of treatment that confounds the ability to assess the event

    Measured: baseline to study completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine in people with Biliary Tract Cancer and Gallbladder Cancer, run by University of Rochester at 2 sites in United States.

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 17 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Number of Participants With Response to GEMOX-Panitumumab (GEMOX-P) in Chemotherapy naïve KRAS/ BRAF Wild Type Stage IV Biliary Tract Cancer Using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria. (time frame: end of cycle 2 of treatment). 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 Aug 2016.
