What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival rate at 6 months

    progression-free survival wad defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of the first occurrence of objective disease progression or death from any cause, which occur first.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate

    Response to chemotherapy will be assessed using RECIST 1.0 criteria.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Toxicities

    Toxicities associated chemotherapy will be assessed and categorized using NCI CTCAE v3.0. The types of toxicities and the proportions of patients who experience each toxicity will be described.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. overall survival

    Overall survival is calculated from the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing S-1 plus cisplatin and Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin in people with Metastatic Biliary Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 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 6 Dec 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

Progression-free survival rate at 6 months (time frame: 6 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 NCT01375972, 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 6 Dec 2011.
