About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of LDK378 as the First or Second-line Therapy in ROS1 and /or ALK Over-expressed Advanced Intrahepatic or Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Primary objective:

To investigate the objective response rate in patients with ROS1 or ALK over-expressed locally advanced, or metastatic intrahepatic or hilar cholangiocarcinoma receiving LDK378 Secondary objectives:The progression-free survival ,The disease control rate ,The overall survival ,The toxicity profiles , The correlation between clinical outcomes and the potential predictive biomarker for tumor response

Read the detailed description

Sample size: LDK378 will be considered as an active agent and deserved for further development. Considering 10% dropout rate, total 34 patients will be included.

Step 1: LDK378 in suitable patients:

Collect tumor tissue for immunohistochemistry staining to confirm the status of ROS1 or ALK expression. If the patient fits all criteria, LDK378 750 mg ( p.o.) daily, with 3 week as a treatment cycle.

Step 2: Evaluation of tumor response according to RECIST 1.1 version

  1. Evaluation will be done at baseline and every 6 weeks
  2. Evaluation will be performed with CT or MRI and the response is defined as follows:
  • Complete response - the disappearance of all target lesions.
  • Partial response - at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions compared to the baseline sum longest diameter.
  • Progressive disease - at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions compared to the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one, or more new lesions, or reappearance of any lesion that had disappeared, or clear worsening of any assessable disease, or appearance of any new lesion or site.
  • Stable disease - neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, compared to the smallest sum longest diameter since the treatment started

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LDK378 in people with Cholangiocarcinoma, run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 18 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 5 Apr 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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 was stopped early (reason given: ROS1 in IHC and gene rearrangement result can not match。No tumor response。). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

objective response rate (time frame: three 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 5 Apr 2018.
