About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Hepatic Arterial Infusion With Floxuridine and Dexamethasone in Combination With Gemcitabine as Adjuvant Treatment After Resection of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

This is a Phase I study, which means we want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this combination of drugs may have on the patient and the liver cancer at different dose levels. All patients will have an operation to remove tumors in the liver and may have a pump placed in their abdomen.

On this study, both drugs given have been used in other patients for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma and other gastrointestinal cancers. Both drugs are approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) for treatment of liver cancer, but the two drugs have only been combined in a few patients.

That means that in this trial we also want to find out if this combination is safe.

The study will also evaluate if this treatment works in delaying or stopping the cancer from coming back after surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HAI with FLOXURIDINE & DEXAMETHASONE & GEMCITABINEExperimentalThis is an open-label single arm study. multi-institution phase I dose escalating trial of adjuvant HAIP FUDR and Gemcitabine chemotherapy after curative resection of ICC. Hepatectomy with or without bile duct reconstruction and pump placement are performed. The patients will start therapy 4 weeks postoperatively. They will receive HAI FUDR/Dex and systemic gemcitabine in the following dose escalation levels of gemcitabine. The dose of HAI FUDR will be fixed. A classic 3+3 cohort dose escalation scheme will be used to identify the MTD of the combination. Level 1: Systemic gemcitabine 650mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 and HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12mg/kg/day Day 1-14 Level 2.Systemic gemcitabine 800mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12 mg/kg/day Day 1-14 Level 3. Systemic gemcitabine 1000mg/m^2 Day 1 and 15 HAI FUDR/Dex 0.12 mg/kg/day Day 1-14
Receives: Procedure: Liver resection and placement of hepatic artery infusion pump; Drug: FLOXURIDINE; Drug: DEXAMETHASONE; Drug: GEMCITABINE

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Toxicity

    All toxicities will be rated as per the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC AE version 4.0) except neurosensory and hepatic enzyme toxicities related to intrahepatic pump therapy.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recurrence Free Survival

    we will evaluate the recurrence-free survival of patients in this trial using Kaplan-Meier methods.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Liver resection and placement of hepatic artery infusion pump, FLOXURIDINE and DEXAMETHASONE in people with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Peripheral Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 5 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 15 inclusion and 11 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 11 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

Safety and Toxicity (time frame: 1 year). 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 11 Sep 2020.
