About this study

Official title: Open-label, Uncontrolled, Multicenter Phase I/Ib Trial to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of BIBW 2992 and Standard Gemcitabine/Cisplatin in Chemo-naïve Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Adenocarcinoma

An open-label, uncontrolled, multicenter phase I/Ib trial to investigate safety and efficacy of BIBW 2992 added to the standard therapy of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin in chemo-naïve patients with advanced and/or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is safety and toxicity, including maximum tolerated dose, of BIBW 2992 when given as add-on therapy to Gem/Cis.

Receives: Drug: BIBW 2992

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Adverse Events

    In part A the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BIBW 2992 administered continuously to the standard therapy of Gemcitabine / Cisplatin (Gem/Cis) (administered together on day 1 and 8 of a three-week cycle) will be evaluated in a 2 step dose escalation.

    Safety and toxicity will be evaluated as described and considered primary for part B of the study.

    Measured: Treatment period: up to eight cycles (maximum 8 months). 12 months follow-up period.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Progress (TTP)

    Median time to progress (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria) including the 95% confidence intervals were determined using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Time from start of treatment to first documentation of objective tumour progression. Deaths were censored at the time of death.

    Measured: Treatment period: up to eight cycles (maximum 8 months). 12 months follow-up period.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Median overall survival time including the 95% confidence interval were determined using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Time from start of treatment to death due to any cause. Time to last observation will be used if a patient has not died and OS for the patient will be considered censored. Estimated time period: up to 76 weeks

  3. Objective Response Rate

    Response was assessed by means of RECIST 1.1 criteria for target lesions, non-target lesions and the appearance of new lesions. Objective response was defined as the CR, PR or SD at end of treatment

    Measured: Treatment period: up to eight cycles (maximum 8 months).

  4. Tumor Control Rate

    Tumor control rate is defined as the best tumour response (confirmed partial or complete response, stable disease) that is achieved until end of treatment according to Recist 1.1.

    Measured: Treatment period: up to eight cycles (maximum 8 months).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BIBW 2992 in people with Metastatic Disease, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 33 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2019). 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?

Number of Adverse Events (time frame: Treatment period: up to eight cycles (maximum 8 months). 12 months follow-up period.). 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 NCT01679405, 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 Sep 2019.
