About this study

Primary Objective:

To evaluate disease control rate (DCR) of S-1 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate overall response rate (ORR)
  • To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS)
  • To evaluate overall survival (OS)
  • To assess the safety profile
Being tested
S-1/Gemcitabine

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • S-1/GemcitabineDrug

    Also called TS-1/Gemmis

    Eligible patients will receive gemcitabine 800 mg/m2/day on day 1 and S-1 orally 80-120 mg/day (depending on patient's body surface area (BSA)) on day 1 to 10 in a 2-week cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Disease control is defined as having confirmed complete or partial response or stable disease

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    To assess Objective response rate (ORR)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. progression-free survival (PFS)

    To assess progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. overall survival (OS)

    To assess overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 2 years

  4. safety profile (percentage of patients with at least one occurrence of preferred term will be included,according to the most severe NCI-CTCAE v4.03 grade)

    The incidence and percentage of patients with at least one occurrence of preferred term will be included,according to the most severe NCI-CTCAE v4.03 grade

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing S-1/Gemcitabine in people with Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer(BTC), run by TTY Biopharm at 4 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 17 inclusion and 8 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 21 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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?

Disease control rate (DCR) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT02425137, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Aug 2019.
